Marker Disneyland: Star Wars Galaxy's Edge

 

A Long Time Ago in a Galaxy Far, Far Away.........you know how it goes. This is your chance to live your own story in that galaxy. Set on a rocky spire planet known as Battuu, this is where guests immerse themselves in the Star Wars universe and go on adventures of their own.

When entering from Fantasyland, guests emerge in a forest area where a Resistance base has been set up. New recruits can be presented their first mission inside the base itself, but in the process, they are captured by the First Order and must escape from a Star Destroyer. This is the premise of Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. Near the exits to the ride is the Resistance Supply shop.
Going further into the town of Black Spire Outpost, guests will enter a bazaar. This features the shops Jewels of Bith, Toydarian Toymaker, and Creature Stall, as well as Kat Saka's Kettle and Ronto Roasters. They then enter the main town, where they can find interactive experiences at the Droid Depot or Savi's Workshop. Dok-Ondar's Den of Antiquities offers merchandise as well, and Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo is a restaurant. Further in, guests will see the Millenium Falcon, which marks the entrance to Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run. Oga's Cantina is closeby, and depending on how you did on the ride, they might treat you differently. First Order Cargo is also nearby, marked by Kylo Ren's shuttle. There are also several Milk Stands in the area.

I worry that this goes against my philosophy of Disney without the bad stuff. Although I like Galaxy's Edge, some people say it was made out of greed and ego and doesn't feel like Star Wars at all. While I disagree with this, I do see their point, and there are improvements all around. Things are cheaper, there is no alcoholic beverages sold at the cantina, and such. While I did consider putting Star Tours and other things here, I didn't want it to clash with the immersive atmosphere. This land is set in the sequel era, and so I'd have the original and prequel era-things elsewhere. Luckily, Tomorrowland has an entrance into this land as well, so there could be a nice transition there.

Marker Disney Studios: Buena Vista Street

Image
  When guests enter the park, they enter a recreation of 1923 Los Angeles, how it was when Walt Disney first came to the city. With many fictional businesses referencing his life and early career, this tributes the man who started it all. This street is shaped like an inverted 'L,' making it an interesting shape. When guests first walk into the studios, guests see a small park in the front of the street. This is where a statue of Walt and Mickey is known as "Storytellers." It is inspired by the statue seen in DCA, Tokyo Disneysea, and Shanghai Disneyland. On the left, guests can find help at the Studio Building. On the right, guests can learn more about Walt Disney at the One Man's Dream exhibition. Also nearby is the Celebrity Spotlight building, where guests can meet Disney characters. As guests go down the street, they see several shops and restaurants. On the left is The Studio Store, which is the largest store in the park, Clarabelle's Ice Cream, Disney B...

  This Middle Eastern area is another family area, even though its rides are more family-centered than the ones in Mermaid Lagoon. This area has a theme based off the Arabian Nights stories, most especially Aladdin. When crossing over from Mermaid Lagoon, guests enter a Middle Eastern port. A dhow (Arabian boat) is seen nearby on the left. Also on the is Aladdin's Flying Carpets, a spinner ride where guests may get squirted by camels. Closeby is the Sultan's Palace restaurant, where guests can eat an authentic Middle Eastern cuisine, and the Caravan Carousel, a two-story carousel where guests ride camels. Guests can also shop at the nearby buildings, Open Sesame and 3 Wishes Bazaar. A snack stand known as the Eats of Agrabah is also nearby, as well as the station for the Marker Disneysea Steamer Line, which goes to Forgotten Rivers.
