I'm interested on any info on the WDW version you've got.
It'll be a lot shorter than my coverage of the WDL one since its basically exactly the same with only minor differences. Also I don't really have as many pictures of it that are my own since I don't have a guy on the inside like I did with WDL. I did know someone who was planning on going, but they cancelled their trip.
1: Obviously the first and most obvious differences is that the colors are more saturated due to the harsh Florida sun, making everything look sort of dark orange. It makes things look a bit odd and any resemblance to Tatooine is completely lost. Only area that looks unchanged is Merchant's Row which I already went into great detail about starting with page 499 for those who want the whole info on WDL's Galaxy's Edge.
2: For some peculiar reason, they changed the statue standing at the entrance of Merchant's Row.
Now its smaller and pointier for some reason.
3: Vi Moradi is even more prominent here than in WDL, with her even attending the park's opening and first few days without Rey and Kylo Ren. She still acts smug or indifferent, although she seems to be getting harassed more regularly by stalkers. There's actually quite a few vids and pics of fat manchildren going up to her and asking her really awkward questions. Its quite clear that she was intended to mainly interact with children since those are the kinds of tourists she actively seeks out, which are few, instead fat Dobson-tier manchildren seek her out. A few weeks ago, 4chan (and some other sites which deleted posts of similar nature) had some weirdos obsessively posting pictures of Vi and the park's Rey and talking about all they things they want to do with them.

I wonder if you can snitch on her to the troopers...
4: Both parks are considered "official canon" but no explanation is given as to why they're different from one another. This has caused oddballs to start claiming that the parks take place in alternate timelines. But asking employees results in them outright stating that it is not an alternate timeline. Wookieepedia no longer bothers to update shit about this park except for the irl GE janitor who actually works at Disney and Wookieepedia.
5: Here is the "collectible" map for the park. Its handed out by GE clerks outside the GE park who claim they're visiting Earth to promote tourism to planet Batuu... It includes some "what to do" shit, a map and an Aurebesh alphabet.
6: I've already mentioned this before in the thread, but the park is covered in fans due to the hot florida sun. The thing is they're not very immersive since only a few are designed to look "in-universe" while the majority are regular cheap fans from Ikea, Global and Walmart with the english irl logos still slapped on them. Same with the furniture most of which looks like it came from the Ikea nearby WDW.
7: Here are the maps of both parks for comparison.
The layout of Merchant's Row is somewhat the same, everything else including some droids and non-buildings are different. The entrances to the park are also different. The ones in WDL are three long trails with notable features or fancy entrances. One's empty and one has a bridge. WDW has one barren trail and one that has a "fancy" wall that leads into the Resistance area which has a completely different layout than the one in WDL. Also certain doorways in WDL are completely closed off and the third entrance is completely unusable.
8: There are triangular umbrellas everywhere cuz sunlight, although they don't have furniture. So you have to either sit on the floor or stand under them.
9: There's a hole that has the unceremonious remains of the StarSpeeder 3000 from Star Tours which they explain was crashed by Rex, who is now DJ R3X after being reprogrammed by the owner of the Droid Depot. FYI the owner along with all the other shopkeepers still don't exist, except for Dok Ondar who for some reason is still depicted with green skin in ads and the Disney EU despite that he has the same gross human skin tone as every other nu-wars Alien redesign.
Only thing weirder and more inconsistent is Disney Canon's view on Star Tours which they still label as Legends despite forcing a bunch of references to Nu-Wars into it like Kylo Ren, the FO and whatnot, which puts Rex's whole existence into question.
10: I've already said this before, but they serve alcohol everywhere here to attract rich wine moms and instagram influencers. Their alcoholic soy milk tastes like crap.
11: I already mentioned this before, but the only real exclusive feature of the WDW one is that it offers photo options where they'll take a picture of you standing in the street which is then made to look like you're standing on a Kingdom Hearts version of the planet Batuu... which makes me wonder if they're crazy enough to force Squeenix to add that shit to the game. It takes a week to process the pic.
Quality may vary.
12: Yellow Yoda has her own alcoholic drink now which is Dragon Berry rum. It tastes like shit. In fact it tastes like Simply Orange with a dash of rum, since that's mostly what it is according to the menu.
13: There's Coca Cola carts everywhere here to make sure they get some much needed Coke ad-revenue.
Sad thing is just one cart looks better and more alive than the entire park with an R5 droid that actually acts like its "alive".
14: I already mentioned this before, but for some reason, they didn't have the Hondo the pirate animatronic or his droid in the Smuggler's Run ride for the first week or so.
Otherwise the park is exactly the same. Only other difference is that the WDW still has some merch that has been completely sold out at WDL since summer, like personality chips, but those are already running out. WDW also ran out of foot sporks even faster than WDL.

Looks like they've updated her page since last time. Xhe's even uglier without the mask than I thought. Also she's the same species as the gamorrean donut-steal from TFA... I think I went into detail about these guys when I first covered shit from Fallen Order like 150 pages ago.
Speaking of, I never got to finish my exposé and criticism of the TLJ aliens. May as well do one for TFA freaks too one of these days.
