I want to do that Build-a-Saber thing someday. But listening to that scavenger guy do his presentation made me cringe. That was SUPER uncomfortable and I'm not sure I could handle it in person.
I was thinking the same thing.
Sometimes immersion doesn't work.
Dude, welcome to Disney. This'll be sweet relief after some princess shit.

Just heard something hilarious on Kevin Smith about galaxys edge. It’s totally immersive. You’re in Star Wars. Until you look around at all the other people theyre all wearing Star Wars t shirts

This looks cheesy but fun. If I wasn’t in Hans west I wouldn’t want to be there. Save yourself thousands of dolllars to be fair it looks like they nailed it. Cockpits too big but detailed properly and graphics look spot on

Underwhelmed! Every Star Tours map I’ve ridden was better than that.

The “free” collectibles in Disneyland’s new Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge that didn’t have a price tag and weren’t nailed down have found their way to cyberspace with many of the five-finger discount items showing up on the secondary market.
A simple search for “Galaxy’s Edge” on the eBay online shopping site reveals a slew of purloined items that probably should not have left the Black Spire Outpost village on the Star Wars planet of Batuu, the setting for the new 14-acre land at the Anaheim theme park.
Other resourceful Galaxy’s Edge visitors simply took more of the free Star Wars stuff than Disneyland might have anticipated or expected. As a result, many of the pilfered and hoarded souvenirs are no longer available in the new Star Wars land.
Gone are the Galaxy’s Edge maps and Docking Bay 7 sporks that are likely not to reappear in the park or the land. It’s always possible they were intended as grand opening swag. Or maybe new shipments of the popular keepsakes are bound for Batuu.
Disneyland declined to comment on the missing Galaxy’s Edge items now showing up on unauthorized resale sites.
You can’t say it was totally unexpected. That’s what happens when you invite a bunch of scoundrels, smugglers and space pirates to a galaxy far, far away. They rob you blind.
Disneyland likely isn’t thrilled that some bar patrons took dozens of Oga’s Cantina coasters to resell online for $10 apiece. The graphically stylish coasters have sayings written in the Star Wars language of Aurebesh.
Most people don’t need 20 maps when they enter the park. But if you can sell the Galaxy’s Edge keepsakes for $6 a pop, then the maps might look more like crisp dollar bills piled up at the front gate. The colorful guides showed the layout of Galaxy’s Edge and included descriptions of the attractions, shops and restaurants.
It didn’t take a criminologist or an economist to figure out that the tubs filled with super cool Star Wars sporks left on the counter in Docking Bay 7 wouldn’t last very long. Sellers are asking as much as $80 for the futuristic-looking metal spoon-forks with angled tines. More traditional metal and plastic forks are offered now with meals in the counter-service restaurant.
The color-coded flight crew cards assigning visitors to pilot, gunner and engineer positions on the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run attraction are fetching as much as $20 online. Flight crews are called by color while they wait in the hold of the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy.
What constitutes thievery? If a Disneyland employee hands you something without a price tag on it are you obligated to give it back? Most people would agree that keeping a theme park map as a souvenir is OK, but taking restaurant silverware is stealing. It appears plenty of Disneyland visitors are stepping over that grey line.

Until Disney stops supplying those things, and paying customers can't get small, free souvenirs. Or worse, prices for Disneyland go up even fucking more.

Well, I'm sure your amorality is unswayable, but my point being, no one is hurting Disney. If anything, they're hurting other fans.
I can see that POV. They’re putting the prices up in 6 months anyways though.
Like a hotel room everything in there is included as a loss risk. But this on a much larger scale.
I have a hard time feeling bad for Disney in this scenario.
The price scale has already been designed to keep it out of the reach of middle income earners so as to keep numbers down and directed towards higher earners. They’ll spend more on that small four hours access to the park than thousands of rabble coming through unable to afford the $200 lightsaber or droid.
