Because making a lightsaber costs $250 per person and kids need to be supervised. So that experience is $500 at a minimum, and good luck if you have more than one kid. Most visitors do not have any children, and it’s because Disney has priced out families (not to mention the disaster that is the fast-pass system).
For anyone curious to learn more about the fast-pass system, or who just wants to watch an awesome Defunctland video:

Plus the whole, “it’s in Florida and who wants to drag a kid through that shithole of a state and hear the complaints about the heat?”
To be fair, I wouldn’t want to have a kid handle a lightsaber unsupervised. One wrong button push and they are a goner.
On the flip side you can save a lot of money when remodelling your house so it seems worth it.
Uh oh Anakin is on the loose again
Kid doesn’t know what happened to the younglings…
When I was young, I wanted to go to Disney World because most other kids I knew went there. Now, I’m 28 and no longer interested. Maybe I will be one day, but not now. Disney as a company has gotten too big and the “magic” isn’t really magical if 35% of entertainment media is a Disney property. Not to mention the state of Florida is run by a tyrant, and then Disney Land in California is just in one of the most congested states in the nation. Haven’t visited a theme park in years but the best ones are Story Land (lots of toddler stuff there, but still fun) and Canobie Lake Park. Maybe Knotts Berry Farm or Busch Gardens are some better theme parks in the southeast.
Universal has better rides, anyway.
Canobie Lake Park
Dang, so weird seeing a local shoutout here. Canobie and Story Land were part of my childhood.
New England theme parks rule! My mom says when she was a kid, there was another Story Land location in Cape Cod. Don’t know which part exactly, but she visited it probably when she was a toddler, maybe three or four years old. I’ll have to ask my elder aunts and uncles if they remember anything more about it. It was probably the early 1960s when she went and she’s not sure when they closed it. Internet didn’t have a ton of info on it last time I checked.
Beat theme park in the country is holiday world in Santa Claus Indiana!
Free soft drinks, free sunscreen, free parking, not crazy congested, lots of cool rides and a great water park attached that is included in the ticket price. Plus good food, nothing beats getting a pizza for the fam and then riding one of the wooden coasters
Sounds similar to Santa’s Village in New Hampshire. Somewhat close to Story Land in the White Mountains area, but I can’t remember the town it’s in. Jefferson, maybe? It was alright when I went as a kid, but damn hot. I think they’ve since added a water park so that’s an improvement, but it definitely needed more shady areas at the very least. I want to Indiana last year and do find it to be nice state, so I’ll have to consider Holiday Park if I ever go to Santa Claus.
What about Coney Island? They call it the playground of the world.
Haven’t been there yet, but I bet it’s great!
kids can’t afford it
Star Wars and Facebook are full of old people
Everyone has an old person inside, just waiting to blossom.
That’s the most depressing thing I have heard on the internet so far. But your not wrong.
It’s hiding in the bushes of love.
