Creator's Key Takeaways
It is expected to be anarchy. So much so that the My Disney Experience app uh is not letting anyone book dining reservations today.
I think they look great. I think, look, there have been a lot of bad new costumes the last couple years, but I think similar to the story models in some cases, they kind of figured it out.
This is a great way to get people back to Trader Sam's. I love collecting the coasters and this is and they're very nerdy.
This is this is a weird decision, but um I will say the couple times I've stayed there, I have never witnessed other guests with me going through that entrance.
