Cheers 2 Ears!
A Star Wars Fifth Gate With A Nysillin and Bubbles with Brub Berry Essence
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You know that moment when a theme park drink costs $19 and you still kind of want it? We start there, rebuilding Oga’s Cantina’s Nicillin and Bubbles with Brubberry Essence at home with Empress 1908 gin, elderflower liqueur, citrus, a berry boost, tonic, and an edible hibiscus flower. If you love Disney cocktails, copycat recipes, and honest “did we nail it?” taste talk, you’ll feel right at home with us.
Then we go full blue sky Imagineering and try to answer a bigger question: should Walt Disney World build a fifth gate that is 100% Star Wars? We debate the longevity problem, what the Galactic Starcruiser closure really says about demand versus price, and whether the smarter move is expanding beyond Galaxy’s Edge with multiple Star Wars lands across different parks to fuel park hopping.
From there, it’s rapid-fire concept design: a Death Star park icon, story-driven projection and drone shows, and transportation ideas that make the whole resort feel connected. We draft lands like Mos Eisley, Hoth, Takodana, Endor, and an Imperial sector, plus ride pitches ranging from podracing and Escape From Mos Eisley to a Vader-focused dark ride and a TIE fighter pilot experience. We even sketch a Star Wars themed hotel as a hidden Rebel base that feels immersive without being impractical.
If you’ve ever argued about what Disney should build next, hit play, then subscribe, share the episode with a Star Wars friend, and leave a review. What land would you build first?
Welcome And The $19 Drink
SPEAKER_01Hello, welcome to Cheers to Ears. For today we're drinking a nacilin and bubbles with Brubberry Essence from Oga's Cantina, and it's$19. And welcome to Cheers to Ears. Okay, we're back. I don't know why I said$19 at first. I just mentioned it. Mentioned it. I just wanted to tell everyone the price right away. I was very excited about the$19, even though that's kind of a lot. But what Evs. What Evs? Here we are.
SPEAKER_00You got it.
SPEAKER_01Welcome to Cheers to Ears.
SPEAKER_00Plan on spending close to 20 bucks on a drink there anyway.
SPEAKER_01So we're today we're having a nice, I don't have what it's made with. I didn't pull it up and I don't have it at all. So I will take the lead on that one. Yeah.
Recreating Oga's Cantina Cocktail
SPEAKER_00Sorry, I totally forgot. The Nicillin bubbles with Brubberry Essence, which is found at the Walt Disney World ogus Cantina, not the Disneyland. Made with Empress 1908 gin, Saint Germain Elderflower Liqueur, blueberry lime juice topped with tonic water, and garnished with an edible hibiscus flour. So we came close. We came close. We used Empress 1908 gin. We used elderflower liqueur. We have a different brand than the Saint Germain. Forgot the blueberries at home to muddle with the lime juice. So we did and two ounces of the gin, one ounce of Saint Germainflower liqueur, and then we did a half ounce of blackberry liqueur and a half ounce of lime juice to kind of give hopefully the same taste palette, I guess. Topped with tonic water, probably two, three ounces. Yeah, something like that. Tonic water. Just topped. And then garnished, and we did garnish it with an edible hibiscus flour. But if you're watching on YouTube, if this ever makes it on YouTube, we've been having sound issues.
SPEAKER_01We're not good at this yet.
SPEAKER_00Mine floated to the bottom.
SPEAKER_01Yours is still there. That's what it's supposed to look like. Very good-looking drink.
SPEAKER_00Yes.
SPEAKER_01And it's a really good drink, I think. It's a kind of a berry. Alcohol.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Berry gin and tonic. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00That's exactly what it is. It's gin and tonic with berries. Oh. See, now that you say that, that's even better.
SPEAKER_01That's exactly what I taste. That's the taste I get.
SPEAKER_00That's yeah, that's a very good drink because the good one.
SPEAKER_01I could have this on an evening.
SPEAKER_00The elder flower liqueur gives it some floral notes. Uh-huh. And then, but you get you're picking up definitely the berry from the blue the blackberry liqueur or the blueberries. Yeah. This is a good one.
SPEAKER_01This is good. So it's at Ogwa's Cantina because we have a Star Wars topic today, Aaron.
SPEAKER_00We do.
SPEAKER_01I can go for a Star Wars topic anytime.
SPEAKER_00Yes. It was, and I don't even know what inspired me.
SPEAKER_01I don't know. You just texted yesterday. We couldn't remember what we had planned at all. We had some, I think we had some good plans. We had some pub last week after the podcast and talked about the plans while we were drinking a couple of beverages.
SPEAKER_00A couple of extra bread beverages.
SPEAKER_01Still totally don't remember what we talked about.
SPEAKER_00So as well as drinks. I do remember the drink we're supposed to have. So at some point we're going to have that one. But I something about it, I just thought, what if there was an entire land that was in completely Star Wars? So we're making not an entire land, sorry, an entire park. Fifth gate at Disney World. That's all Star Wars.
SPEAKER_01All Star Wars.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. And we talked about this off air. And we decided we'd have the a quick little debate on. See, I don't think I think a an all-Star Wars park would be fantastic at first. But just like the hotel, I think it would die off. And I don't think you could freshen it up on a regular basis like you can with a regular park.
SPEAKER_01I don't I disagree. The hotel died off. It was just so expensive. This is true. And it was expensive to run. It would still be going strong. Had it been more reasonable. More reasonable priced, and they could keep the pro cost down on how to run the running the running cost.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
Why The Starcruiser Really Failed
SPEAKER_01I think that's what killed that. Not because it wasn't popular.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. It was the price that killed it. The immersive experience. And it's one of those where I really wish I had been able to. We should have gone. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Had a chance. We didn't do it. Didn't do it. Went to Disneyland instead. Bummer.
SPEAKER_00So anyway, I think it would have That was a no thank you, Christy.
SPEAKER_01No, she gave me the choice for my birthday. Yeah. They planned Disney, told me afterwards, and said they could switch it if I really wanted to. Okay, because that was the family trip. Right. They come and surprise me with the Disneyland trip for my birthday. Okay. And then afterwards they said we were going to do Galaxy's the Galactic Star Cruiser. If you really want to do it, we can talk about it and see if we can make it work. Okay. But I said no, let's just go to Disneyland because it costs so much money. It would have been just that. And we couldn't go to Disney World at all. It'll just be that. It would have just been that. So that's why we decided to. I thought, oh, I have years to do this. Yes. And then it closed.
SPEAKER_00And then it closed.
SPEAKER_01So anyway, I disagree with you because I think a Star Wars park, and I think my park would be very successful because of the Star Wars lore lives on. It does. It's not like Luke Skywalker isn't Luke Skywalker anymore.
SPEAKER_00And I mean, it would be at worst, it would be like Animal Kingdom.
SPEAKER_01I don't think it would. I think it would be studios.
SPEAKER_00It couldn't get any like less attended than Animal Kingdom.
SPEAKER_01I think it would be in the Hollywood Studios realm of always being attended. Probably. Right. And if they made it right, it could be Epcot style if you had like more of a party scene, which I don't have that. No, I don't have a more of a destination place to go, like Epcot is.
One Park Or Star Wars In Each
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Now, I do think because of what that park up to the north has done with Harry Potter, uh-huh. I do think they could include if they do a fifth gate or even at other parks, I do think they could do more Star Wars Lands.
SPEAKER_01I think that's a good idea. So, like what you said beforehand, if they kept Galaxy's Edge, and then in other parks, put like an indoor in Animal Kingdom.
SPEAKER_00Yes. Yeah, that would be a really good one.
SPEAKER_01And at Magic Kingdom, they could put, I don't know. I mean, they could put something like something Dark Side, some kind of Dark Side thing there. Or Epcot would be a better place for like a evil Empire Empire place. They do have and there's so many Greys and stuff at Epcot. There's some space area.
SPEAKER_00But then there's the same alien space with Animal Kingdom. So yeah, each park could have its own Star Wars land. We make a tattooing style thing at Magic Kingdom. Yeah.
Park Icon Death Star And Transit
SPEAKER_01Where they go back and forth. And then you have to get a park hopper. Yeah. If you want to see all them all in one day. Yeah. And they could have a transportation system, some kind of Star Wars. See, and I think that would be cool. That sounds amazing. Yeah. Yeah. And that's just off the top of our heads. We haven't thought about this at all. But we made a full fifth case. Do you have a theme for your whole park, or is it just Star Wars lore?
SPEAKER_00It's I couldn't really come up with mine, it is just the Star Wars universe. And I tried to pick the most iconic planets, lands for my land. So it's just kind of a kid. It is. Yeah. Yeah. I try what I tried to do though is grab each land is from a different movie or a different series, hopefully.
SPEAKER_01So we're totally different.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. But there are some that span multiple movies. Okay. So like when you think of Tatooine, that's in more than just one movie.
SPEAKER_01Correct. Yeah. Correct. Yeah. My theming is entirely the original three movies they made. Oh, okay. So I stuck to only A New Hope, Return of the Jedi, and Empire Strikes Back. Okay. Yeah. I just stuck to those three movies, and that's my entire thing.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, actually. Kind of yours is too. Somewhat, yeah. Because those have, I think, the most, I don't know, usable themes of planets.
SPEAKER_01Well, and it's my childhood. Yeah. I stuck with that when I envisioned everything. And as I was writing it down, and I wrote it down fast. Yeah. I went through when my lands. I have one, two, three, four land, four lands.
SPEAKER_00I did four as well. Four lands. So and then Main Street. I did a main street type.
SPEAKER_01Okay, I don't have really have a main street. I have a place you go in. I think it's just a gate with the central icon. Mine's close.
SPEAKER_00I located north of Coronado.
SPEAKER_01Oh, you located it. I did not do that either.
SPEAKER_00And so west of World Drive. It's just like the only place left. I think there's other places you could put a fifth gate, but I put it there. I did introduce because I figured out second Skyliner.
unknownOh.
SPEAKER_00That connected the TTC for Magic Kingdom. So all of those you could jump onto a Skyliner from there and take it down. Cornado, Animal Kingdom Lodge, All-Stars sports movies, music, and all that. Animal Kingdom, and there is a possibility to you could even connect it with the current Skyliner, just a line going out even further from Hollywood Studios. So that you have a lot of options besides buses to move around.
SPEAKER_01So I thought I didn't think too far into it. I almost went with like a brand new transportation system to get there, like a speedster. I thought about that too. Yeah. That left from the transportation center.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01And then went to the park. And then it had to be, it was a whole new idea because I love there's so many different kinds of transportation in Disney World.
SPEAKER_00Yes.
SPEAKER_01And if we added another one, a brand new hyper loop turbo.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Hyper speed shuttle.
SPEAKER_00I thought something like faster moving people mover. Right. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. It could even look like what you what you go when you ride a rise of resistance, the one ship you go into, it could look like that.
SPEAKER_00That and next to it, I would also throw up a new Star Wars themed hotel, but like a very big, just regular deluxe. So not themed like what was the I the Halcyon was the name of the ship. Uh-huh. But that whole thing, not immersive like that was, but immersive like Animal Kingdom Lodge is to Animal Kingdom Park.
SPEAKER_01I added that kind of hotel to my hotel.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Did you add a hotel?
SPEAKER_00I did. I didn't deep dive into the hotel, but I did add, say it needed a Star Wars. Do you have a name for yours, Park? I couldn't come up with one.
SPEAKER_01Okay, so I my name is Star Wars Galactic Realms. It's the name of my park. Okay. When I was setting the camera up beforehand, I accidentally saw your icon, which is the same icon.
SPEAKER_00Oh, of course. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01It's an easy icon. It's hard to, but explain yours and what how you did it. What your okay.
SPEAKER_00So my park icon is the Death Star, just like Epcot. Might be even a little bit bigger. So it's full Death Star boom. Huge Death Star. The main street walking up to it is like a main walkway in Cure on Curacent.
SPEAKER_01Oh, that's nice.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01I like that.
SPEAKER_00So very space agey. Right. Not no trees. There might be a little bit of trees and things like that, but a lot of metal. A lot of or what looks like metal, because doing metal would cook people in the Florida sun. But inside my Death Star would be a ride like Spaceship Earth. I should have thought of that. But it would take you through the entire canon, starting with so the very first movies. So th what four, five, six. So basically walking you through the entire canon.
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_00And then as you go up and then you come back down, but exactly like Spaceship Earth, moving this kind of the same way, but lets you see the entire story. So that if you don't really, if you've never seen Star Wars, you could get you could go on that ride and get an idea of the timeline of everything. Yeah. Right up to the end of Force Awakens that the last trilogy. Perfect. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01So mine is mine's a Death Star also, but mine is the destroyed Death Star. Okay. After Luke already shot it. They're rebuilding it. So it's partially destroyed. Okay. They're the rebuilt Death Star for on in Empire Strikes Back. Well, I thought they were building a whole new one. They rebuilt the whole one. So it looks partially destroyed.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Okay.
SPEAKER_01And so it's partially made, I guess, is a better way. Oh, okay. Okay. It's not the full Death Star.
SPEAKER_00It's not the completed Death Star. Getting built.
SPEAKER_01Death Star. Okay. Why'd you go with that? I don't know. I just thought it would look really cool walking in. I've always loved that. Like the Death Star looks evil itself, right? From our childhood. Yeah. But the partially built one, which is that's more of a that's the more that's the more correct saying it's partially built instead of destroyed. Yeah. Partially destroyed. So just love the look of it. It looks ominous. Yeah, like something's bad's gonna happen. Yeah, that is very ominous. I like that. And so on it, there that's where the uh not really fireworks shows. There there could be fireworks, but fireworks are overplayed. Fireworks are everywhere.
SPEAKER_00This calls for a drone show.
SPEAKER_01I like a drone show. Yeah, I like projections on the Death Star. Yeah. So one of my shows is Luke's Childhood. Uh-huh. So it's the first three movies actually leading up to A New Hope. Okay. That's one projection show. And the early evening, in the late evening show before the park closes, is The Destroying of the Death Star. Oh, yeah. And then that would be cool.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01And you're watching it, and then it just goes dark. Like it's not there. Yeah. After the show's over. I like that. That's a good show. So that's my central area. I don't I didn't come up with a main street, but I like yours. I'm going to copy yours. It's an entryway.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. I was trying to figure out with the Galactic Senate before everything fell. Kind of that.
SPEAKER_01From our from our worst rides episode of the Galactic Senate encounter.
Mos Eisley Lands Rides And Food
SPEAKER_00Yes. So let's talk about lands. We did four apiece, right? Four apiece. And we didn't talk about that. We just did four apiece. My that that stretched my brain. I was let's see how close they are. I was being overloaded. So the first one I pulled from our episode when we talked about the Mediterranean park.
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_00Because I just really liked the thought. Villains of Moss Isley. That's a good one. So starting with Wato, who owned Anakin and his mother, but like Darth Maul from the original ones, but there's Jabba the Hutt, Tuscan Raiders, all of those are characters. So I did character shopping, rides, food, and a show. Or attractions, attractionslash show. So it might still be considered uh an attraction. But anyway, those were the characters I had in there. The shopping was Jawa Trade and Salvage, and the store looks like a giant sand crawler, multi-floor as you walk in and you can go upstairs and everything. And I just did rides and restaurants. Foad and bead pod racer depot. So just like you can pay for the experience of building a lightsaber or a droid, this you can build a pod racer.
SPEAKER_01Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_00So that was part of that land.
SPEAKER_01The like a remote control pod racer?
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Okay. Yeah. And so rides, I had the Bunta Eve classic pod race, which was, and I'm going back to what I described before. So it's using the cars ride technology, radiator springs racers or test track. But it's a pod race. So instead of in race cars, you're in different shaped pods. Oh, I like pod racers that have six or eight seats in them. And then a dark ride on water farming. So edutainment.
SPEAKER_01So you're just watching Living with the Land. Living with the Land, I bet Living with the Land Star Wars stuff. But completely made up.
SPEAKER_00Completely made up. I love it. And the food. So I only did highlights on all of mine. But the food is the exact replica Cantina from Moss Isley from the original movie. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01And the show. That's a I think we've talked about that before. Yeah. That needing to be somewhere.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. So Anakin and Friends, the show. So the Anakin and I say and Friends versus Tusken Raiders. So it's kind of like the show that they used to do and let kids come up. So this is Anakin training kids and Tuscan Raiders attack them. We won't go into the Anakin went and got ticked off and killed all of them. Yeah. They'll kill you someday, but here's training versus So it's just he's training kids on how to fight with lightsabers, and the Tuscan Raiders, the sand people, attack them in the midst, and then they gotta fight him off. So that that's my villains of Moss Isley. I love that.
SPEAKER_01So I love that I love your ideas. It's a great it's a great land. Great land. I went with also my land one is also Moss Isley. Okay. But mine, I went more with my park is trying to replicate the movies.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_01Like you're there. Okay, yeah. I'm not straying, I'm not being too inventive, I'm not making up new things. I'm trying to bring you into the three movies.
SPEAKER_00Okay.
SPEAKER_01Like you you experience them. So my Moss Isley is Moss Isley from the movies. Okay. It feels like you're walking in into the cantina. So first I'll talk about my ride. Let's look at that's what we're talking about first. It's Escape from Moss Isley. Okay. Is my ride. It's a dark ride, includes a stormtrooper raid. Okay. Okay. A speeder bike chase, and the hyperspace jump at the end. Oh, okay. So kind of all the rides we have so far mixed together. Yeah. Yeah. That includes all three really Star Wars rides I have in the parks now. All in like one. Okay. And then the Dune, the Dune Sea Podracers is an outdoor dueling coaster. So it's kind of like cars.
SPEAKER_00Okay.
SPEAKER_01On a pod racer. Okay. So we both have some pod racers going on. At the end, you're racing the other one, the pod racer next to you.
SPEAKER_00Yes.
SPEAKER_01Idea. Yeah. So same idea. Okay. Same cars, land, cars set up. Yeah. Yeah. So we thought the same there.
SPEAKER_00That's funny.
SPEAKER_01And then I have two restaurants. I I like to I like a sit-down restaurant that you gotta get reservations for. Yeah. So I added maybe too many in my park. I don't know. I because I was thinking two, but I went three or four. I might have put one in every single land, which is what I think is way too much to have sit-down restaurants everywhere, but they do sell out. They do if they're done right. They do. If you're done right, you're gonna have them full all the time. So my first one's docking bay 94.
SPEAKER_00Okay.
SPEAKER_01So it's not like the docking bay at Galaxy's Edge currently. It's a nice sit-down restaurant.
SPEAKER_00Okay.
SPEAKER_01In a docking bay setup.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01So just in the hive of scum and villainy. Yep. Okay. Just refined restaurant. But that they it's there's scum and villainy and the high class there, too. Is there? Yeah, there's some where's the where the huts go to eat? Right, where the huts going? That's what I was just gonna say. They got the money. If you got money, you're gonna eat some good food. Okay. And then uh and then Choloman's Cantina. So Cholman's the guy that owned the cantina.
SPEAKER_00Yes.
SPEAKER_01So it's his cantina. Who was a Wookiee? It's a yeah, it's a Wookiee. Right. It's an exact replica.
SPEAKER_00Exact replica.
SPEAKER_01Same band, same music. Can't get it, can't go very long, or else we get copyrighted.
SPEAKER_00Copyrighted.
SPEAKER_01So yeah, so that's my land. That's two rides, exact cantina. Excellent. And this these aren't the drones you're looking for.
Hoth Battles Tauntauns And Hangars
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Oh okay. Land two. Land two, the frozen world of Hoth. And that's what you have?
SPEAKER_01That's also my land too, yes.
SPEAKER_00Okay. Yep. Battle the Empire. So characters, Luke, Leia, Han, C3PO. Shopping, Dagobah. Now that's not there, but I thought back on a corner as you're leaving.
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_00Maybe have a little swampy area. A little Yoda Yoda section. Yeah, a little Yoda section off where it really feels separate as you're walking out of that land. So maybe it's an in-between little spot. But anyway, Dagobah Jedi Gear and the Hoth hanger. Okay. So it's just you the it that's really what it is, the big hanger that's there. So the rides. So the Tauntaun ride. So similar to Flight of Passage. Okay. But instead of flying around, you're on a Tauntaun and you're bouncing through and you're looking for loot.
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_00Throughout that. You don't have to cut it open and yeah. Make him lukewarm. We did not write this at the same time, folks. Then the Empire battle. Snow speeders against the Now. Do you say ATATs or adat?
SPEAKER_01I say adat.
SPEAKER_00Okay. Adat walkers. I say ad ads.
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_00And I know that bugs some people.
SPEAKER_01I don't know what the proper term is, even. I've just said that since I was a kid. So I Is ATAT the proper way to say it? For some people it is. Wow.
SPEAKER_00I don't know. I've always I think we all people our age say adats, and people younger than us say ATATs. And yeah. So anyway.
SPEAKER_01I've been saying ad-at since 1982 or whatever. So yeah. Screw you guys.
SPEAKER_00So mine's similar to Smuggler's Run, but it's more interactive. So you have people, you're f you got the pilot flying around, or the pilots. Oh. You've got like a gunner, you've got guys launching the harpoon to bring them down. But yeah, it's it it there's more movement to it.
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_00So smaller, and there's more pods, so they can handle as many as smugglers run, but it's gonna be smugglers run. But more interactive than Smuggler's Run, where just push the button. Yeah, and it's not going to force you. If you turn left, it'll go left, and there's not something that'll stop you from really going left. It'll more free world. Yeah, more free world than that. But you're gonna want to turn it and interact and everything. Yeah. So then I was thinking of so the dinosaur playground at Animal Kingdom. Uh-huh. Okay, so where you could dig up dinosaur bones. So mine is the X thing, same thing, but it's X-Wing Builders and Repair. And so basically there's ladders you can climb up on the big giant X-wings, maybe the and fences around them so you can like kids can't fall off. But maybe some employees, some cast members walking around and helping the kids like pull off that panel, and it's panels that you can pull out, and then you can move the pieces inside and like they'll light up because you have to repair the ship. Oh, and so like a cast member can just be telling kids, okay, I need you to open up that panel, and da da da da da. Or kids can just go in there and explore and be working on these full-size X-Wing fighters. I think you're going ray style scavenger first, but yeah, okay. Something like that. And also, like for the older kids, have computers set up to where they can run computer diagnostics and try to figure out how to do how to fix things on running the diagnostics and figure out what needs to be fixed. So different levels of age development, so that you're really kind of getting involved with fixing all of these shits and stuff. But you could have the Millennium Falcon in there as well. Uh-huh. Yeah, all kinds of stuff. So food, a quick service, or you could even do a sit down in the Hoth hangar. So inside there, there's a big the cafeteria, but also the turret snack kiosks. So you know all the turrets.
SPEAKER_01I've read of mine as you're going. Go ahead.
SPEAKER_00So all the turrets out outside, like the cozy cones at Radiator Springs. Yeah. But those have like turrets churros.
SPEAKER_01Oh, that's a good idea.
SPEAKER_00One, and then you go to another one, you get a drink, or your popcorn turret, or your other snack tour, corn dogs turret. Yeah, but they're in the turret. That's amazing. And then again, the show is Dagobah Jedi Trainers. So you go and you're it's just people with if they have a lightsaber, learn how to, but it's like a class type of thing. So open setting and whether it's an animatronic teaching. But yeah, yeah. So there we go. That's my Hoth world.
SPEAKER_01Right. So our my announcement now is Jeff DeMoro. Yeah. We will for a small fee, not imaginary prices. We will have a finder's fee. Yeah, just a finder's, just a small finder's fee, maybe an annual pass. Lifetime passes. Like Club 33 membership for life. Something like that. We can talk about we can talk. We can negotiate. Good idea. Come on. Yeah. Come on, Mr. Demorrow. That's a great idea. So that's your Moss Isley. My Moss Isley. No, Hoth. Oh, I just read Moss Isley. That's your Hoth. Yeah. Okay. My Hoth isn't as Omsi as yours. Yes.
SPEAKER_00You have a very Omsey. Yes. Yeah. That is how I'll describe it. Mine's very Omsey. Right. Which, if you're not familiar with Omsey, it's the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry.
SPEAKER_01So every city has one. Yes. Or every state has an interactive kids' science. Yeah. Learning science area. That's ours local our local one. So anyway, my Hoth, the Dark Ride is Battle of Hoth. Okay. Right? Simple. And mine's just my lance is called Hoth. Yeah. Nothing special. It's just Hoth. Uh-huh. You defend the it's to defend the base walkthrough. So you walk through Echo Base. Okay. You can see the whole base there. Kind of like when the Stormtrooper scene of uh smug of not smuggler's run. Why did I lose my mind? The stormtrooper scene in the Star Wars ride that I can't think of. Yeah at Disneyland.
SPEAKER_00Yes. I know what you're talking about.
SPEAKER_01I don't know where my mind went. It's a bit big ad-at, right? There's an ad-at and a snow speeder toe cable sequence. Okay. You had. And you escape under blaster fire again. I'm a lot of blaster fire escapes in my park. Okay. You're doing a lot of that. Yeah. So it's almost like your one of your rides. And then my second ride, the family ride is the Tauntaun track. Okay. That's why I was laughing. It's a family ride, and it's just a simple family ride through the icy caves. Okay. And kind of like what you said. You're not cutting anything open. You're just riding a tauntaun around Hopkins. Does that Yeti guy pop up? He could, but I didn't I didn't have him in the scene. In the scene. I bet he would have to be involved. Maybe the distance. Yeah. You would see him. Mine, he could be a little bit more. Just mine's more of a family ride. Yeah. And then I have the echo-based mess hall. Okay. Which sounds a lot like your idea of a mess hall. And it's just a big old mess hall with mess hall type food, trays, trays and such, big old open area.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01And then out the windows, you can see snow and stuff. You can see out the windows, and it looks like it's a place. So that's almost exactly like yours. So close.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01I'm curious about your next land because that's my Hoth.
Smugglers Culture And The Kessel Run
SPEAKER_00Yeah. So my next one isn't the fourth moon of Andor. It's not. That's mine. That's my last land. Okay. Is your next one? My next one. Go ahead. Is Tacodonna.
SPEAKER_01What's Tacodonna?
SPEAKER_00So this is a land celebrating smuggler culture. It is where Maz.
SPEAKER_01There's where we differ. Good, good. I like this. Smuggler culture is great.
SPEAKER_00Yes. So characters Maz, Ray, Poe Damron, Finn, Chewbacca, Han can be there. Older Han, not younger Han. Lando action. Did he go?
SPEAKER_01Lando was a smuggler.
SPEAKER_00Wasn't he? He was a smuggler. Yeah, I guess so. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01So you gotta have Lando.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. There you go. We need to get Lando.
SPEAKER_01Lando brings the style in.
SPEAKER_00Because I was like your fancy restaurants. How I could do the Cloud City.
SPEAKER_01Cloud City restaurant.
SPEAKER_00Oh, there you go. So shopping, smugglers, trade, and exchange. The rides. Okay. The Kessel Run coaster. Oh, that's a good one. You gotta relive the historic Kessel Run in under 12 parsecs. Nice.
SPEAKER_01So it count your parsecs? Yes. You get a parsecs score at the end.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, you go. And if you got to get under 12 parsecs. So that is the that's the one ride that I put on there. The food, this could be a good sit-down restaurant. Mazkenada's castle. That's the name of her her bar, her candina. But this could be more of a sit-down, a little more formal, but you can also get drinks and things like that there. But oh, you know what? I'm gonna combine this one with the show. Okay.
SPEAKER_01So it's a dinner show.
SPEAKER_00It's a dinner show like soft de-do review. Yeah. Because I had off-world music and dance show. So that's what Masconata's Castle is. Okay. It is a dinner theater with a show with off different music going, upbeat music, and yeah, just off-world entertainment that would be interesting to more G-rated smugglers as opposed to what was more in the movie. Right. But anyway, there you go. That just combine those last two. But that Taco Donna, and I'm hoping I'm pronouncing that, but that is my next land. I had to go with something I was trying. I figured we would have some overlap, so I wanted to find something that we wouldn't overlap. Yeah, too much overlap.
Endor Speeder Bikes Ewoks And Feasts
SPEAKER_01And I'm gonna go with my next land, even though you're gonna go back with your last land being the same, just to see because you've announced it first. Yes, and then we've been the same. So I'm gonna go with my indoor, which is my next land I wrote down because my last land is totally different than yours.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01My indoor, who knows? I bet it's gonna be very close. We'll see. Probably. My first ride is a speeder bike pursuit. Okay. See, this is what I was doing.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01And I didn't write too much about it because it explains itself to me. Okay. The forest of indoor speeder bike. Uh-huh. You're trying to get away. You're a rebel.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_01You're definitely a rebel.
SPEAKER_02Okay.
SPEAKER_01I don't know if you could if there's a way to be both that you can choose. Or you could be you could end up being one of the two in different tracks.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Maybe you could end up being a stormtrooper in some of the tracks.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Or one car in front are the rebels, and the car in the back are the stormtroopers.
SPEAKER_01What if you could I just came up with this? What if you can do both and during the on the ride, so it's a it's a track ride.
SPEAKER_00So like a roller coaster or more like cars?
SPEAKER_01No, more like a suspended track of some kind. Like Tron idea. Okay. Where you're not seeing the you're not seeing the track all the time. Yes. You don't feel like but what we have is a screen. It's a screen system. Okay. Where you look like you're in the forest, so there's projections. But what if you look to your right on the projection or left and saw yourself as a stormtrooper? That would be cool. I just thought of that. Yeah. What if you're riding in your speeder bike, right? You look over and you're a stormtrooper when you see yourself.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, and it has it where if it picks up from motion cameras your head turning, it'll turn the head so that yeah.
SPEAKER_01So it looks like you're looking at yourself right in a second. Same thing with the rebels. You look like you're wearing that kind of like if you imagine what Princess Leia wore on Indor, that brown, great, brown desert foresty. Yeah. I had a great Princess Leia action figure of her in that outfit. Of her in that outfit. Yeah. Yeah. So I can imagine that right now. Yeah. Okay. So then there's the Ewok Village adventure. Okay. Which is a family walkthrough. Kind of like the Redwood Forest. Yeah. Kind of like the Redwood Forest. Yeah, more like the Redwood Forest Forest. I almost did that. More like the Redwood Forest than the treehouse. Okay. It's not just a walk upstairs. There's actually interactive stuff you can do, like over bridges, yeah, and stuff like that. So those are well.
SPEAKER_00Did you know that was filmed in Del Norte National Forest?
SPEAKER_01I think I've heard that.
SPEAKER_00I've walked through that forest. And yeah, you get total force of indoor vibes. Really? Go walking on trails and that. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01That's crazy.
SPEAKER_00Highly recommend that.
SPEAKER_01That's crazy.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01And then the Bright Tree Village Feast. Okay. Is my restaurant there? It's a big family style food. You all sit at the same table. There's big tables that many groups sit together. Okay. On a big table, and they serve the food and you share the food kind of.
SPEAKER_00Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_01It's nice. It's a communal dining with and it's all it's open fire grilling. Where the food's all made on big open fire pits and they grill it. That's cool. Very ewaki. Yeah. Excellent.
SPEAKER_00So is that all yours?
SPEAKER_01That is that's my endorse. That's your end or mine's pretty close. I thought so. Go for it.
SPEAKER_00So characters, of course, you're gonna have ewoks and Chewbacca and Luke, Leia, C3PO, Han, and R2D2 as well. So the shopping is actually up in the trees. So you would have ramps and not really high up, but ramps up to stairways, and you're walking in between trees, and they've built little shops in between the trees. So it's all inside of a building. Okay. So it has a full, so it always feels like it's nighttime in the shopping area because it looks just cooler when it's all lit up, and you got all the lights and everything. So walking around in there. So that's the shopping. The rides, the ATST, which is the little two-foot walker, forest walk, and you just get in one of those, and it's just you're walking through the forest and looking around, and it's a little family ride, real easy one. And it just moves around on either a track or something like that, but it feels like you're walking. Okay. Because it'll do the little bounce side to side type of thing. And then, of course, I've got the speeder bike coaster. So mine's a coaster, but mine's like the rock and roller coaster. Oh. So you sit down more in the speeders, uh-huh, speeder bikes, over the shoulder restraints, and it goes inverted as you're flying. So, like at times where it they get hit and they start spinning. Yeah. So you might be spinning upside down and yeah, flying up over hills and stuff like that. So a little more inverted with all of that. The food, it's a it's an ewok. You're served by ewoks. You know, you have a might be a health safety violation.
SPEAKER_01I don't know.
SPEAKER_00Well, Ewoks, you wouldn't be seeing them cooking it, but they can an Ewok might bring you out some food. Yeah, do they have a separate food handler's card that Ewok has to get?
SPEAKER_01I don't know, with all the fur.
SPEAKER_00So, but all of the food and there's fur in my soup. This is a let's see how many people get the joke. So at first, the plan is when the ewoks capture Luke and all of them, is to cook them and eat them. So all of my food would be named, it would be like I'd like to order the Luke Skywalker.
SPEAKER_01You can't do that. And it would be You have it went dark for a while.
Imperial Sector Vader And TIE Pilots
SPEAKER_00Uh, ribs, and but see, it would be how many people are gonna get that joke? But yes, it would be the Luke Skywalker, the Leia, you know, the Chewback. Yeah, they're gonna eat the Rib of Han. The Rib of Han, yes. So my my show, interactive, it's just one of the little kid dance parties, but it would be Ewok dance party, like they have, yeah, or you know, the little celebration. Same song every day. Yeah, I know. Yeah, I was like, no, wait, that's the wrong song. Don't go there. So that is my force moon of indoor. That's cool, and that is my last land.
SPEAKER_01My last land is the Imperial sector. Okay. You gotta have an Imperial because I love that little spot of Galaxy's Edge that's dedicated to the Imperials, it's really cool. I heard they're changing it for the whole thing to integrate all the movies in and change it somehow. I don't know, but I haven't been there since they talked about it. So anyway, the Death Star Death Star corridors, right? Is what you see when you go through, right? Star Destroyer hangers. Okay. In this land, okay. And uh the Emperor's Throne Room. Oh you can also see in this land. Uh-huh. Okay. And there could be a show in the Emperor's Throne Room. I might even have that on here.
SPEAKER_00Now, what what Emperor is gonna pop up? It's the Emperor, it's my Palpatine. Oh, yes, because it's the original.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. So it's Palpatine.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01And uh my ride, this is my favorite ride. It's called Vader Power of the Dark Side. Okay. Okay. You board an Imperial Shuttle to start the ride, you walk through a Star Destroyer as part of the ride. You witness a force choke scene. Oh. Right? Like a real one, not the one he was like trying to choke you. Yeah. And the ride I still can't remember the name of. These are the reasons. I don't know why. I don't know why it blows my mind. There's a throne room confrontation. Okay. And the end is Luke and Vader dueling with projections and animatronics.
SPEAKER_00So would this be like trackless dark rain?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, trackless you're in a track. Kind of like the uh Beauty and the Beast ride in is that Tokyo or Hong Kong?
SPEAKER_00I think it's Tokyo.
SPEAKER_01We're in the teacups.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I think it's Tokyo. But anyway, yeah, like that.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, you're a witness to everything going on. Okay. And so that's my main ride, is the Vader, the power of the dark side. And then I have the also the Imperial Starfighter Academy, where you pilot a TIE fighter.
SPEAKER_00And I I really wanted to do something there.
SPEAKER_01I think it's it'd be cooler because you can do a one person in there by yourself and sit in and pilot kind of like the Pandora ride, where you can have multiple people in the same room, yeah, but not right next to each other. You can have different like little sections on one screen and do it like that. You could probably have one screen and pilot the TIE fighter with somehow.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Right in front of you with the that'd be cool.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, okay. Yeah, did you have any more?
Star Wars Hotel Ideas And Goodbye
SPEAKER_01No, I don't have any more for my land. I just have one hotel.
SPEAKER_00Okay. Do you have a hotel? I just have a Star Wars themed hotel.
SPEAKER_01That's all you said.
SPEAKER_00Yes.
SPEAKER_01Mine is, yeah, mine is the Rebel Disney's Rebel Alliance Resort. Okay. So it's built into a it's a hidden rebel base.
SPEAKER_00Nice. Oh, I like that.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, so it's just a hidden rebel base. It's that's all the it's all the theming of a rebel base. The whole hotel. Looks like it's in a hillside.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01When you go in. And then the lobby is like a lobby. And then behind the lobby is the rebel base. Yeah. So in the lobby, there's like during the day, there's occasional stormtrooper search patrols. Oh, okay. That come through the lobby. Yes. That's the essence of the hotel.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Yeah. Very cool. I almost so I was running out of time, and I thought, okay, my brain's just shutting down of thinking of all this other stuff anyway. I really wanted to do another land Safar.
SPEAKER_01Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_00Darth's lair. That'd be tough. And because it's so dark and like lava. Lava. So you'd have to have some sort of lava ride. Maybe yeah. But also I was gonna do like the a TIE fighter type ride stuff. Yeah. So that was I was almost with your ride. If I'd done another one, it would have sounded very similar to what you did. But yes, so we think alike on what we want to do.
SPEAKER_01Again, we've we've now found out we think alike again.
SPEAKER_00Even with Star Wars. But there we go.
