Bright Suns from Batuu

Off-world guests who visit the planet of Batuu may initially find some of the local vernacular to be a little confusing.  The locals often like to say things like "Bright suns!" or "Till the spire!" or "May the spires keep you" as part of their everyday speech.  Fortunately, a little bit of time in this world allows the customary phrases to reveal their meanings (and guests can always ask a local to explain; they'll be happy to do so!).  Here are a few commonly used phrases that will help guests blend in a little better among the citizens of Black Spire Outpost!

  • "Bright suns!" - used as a greeting during the daytime
  • "Dim suns!" - used sparingly as a greeting around sunset
  • "Rising moons!" - used as a greeting during the evening
  • "Til the spire!" - used as an informal goodbye, more in the way of "see you later"
  • "May the spires keep you!" - used as a more formal goodbye
  • "Good journey!" - used as the most informal form of goodbye
  • "Only the ancients know!" - used to say "I don't know"
  • "Ignite the spark!" - used as a secret greeting among Resistance members
  • "Light the fire!" - the appropriate response to the phrase above
  • "On planet" - refers to anything within Batuu
  • "Off planet" - refers to anything outside of Batuu, i.e. the rest of Disneyland
The people around Batuu also refer to some commonplace nomenclature a little differently:
  • hydrator (drinking fountain)
  • refresher (restroom)
  • youngling (child)
  • data pad (smart phone / tablet)
  • credits (cash / dollars)
  • image scan (photograph)
There are probably more that I'm forgetting, but this should give you a bit of a Cliffs Notes on how to converse around Black Spire Outpost.  Until then, til the spire!
