I wish I was at the shareholders meeting. I hear they do a Q&A at the end. I would have asked why do reservations at Disneyland and not disneyworld and why doesn't the disneyland version have early magic hours.

Simply solved by calling it "previews". Xpectation is low and delivery is high.
Easy peasy

It’s half opening. That’s the focus I think.Honestly, I think too many people are focusing on "ROTR isn't going to be open on day one!" rather than, "wow, SWGE is opening early!"
But that's none of my business.

Always fun to argue with future people who may or may not exist.Imagine this scenario:
It's mid-September. Our insiders tell us that SWL is ready to open except RotR. They say RotR will be ready at the time that everyone's been expecting, sometime later in the Fall, around late October.
You know there would be moaning and screaming...
"Why can't they open it without RotR?!""Why would they keep the Falcon ride away from us just for that?!""Why can't they do soft openings without RotR?!""If they open now without RotR it will help with crowds! All the looky-loos will get the shops and cantina out of their system!! So.. OPEN NOW!!!!!!!!1!!1"
So, I find all this hair-on-fire screaming and moaning about an earlier-than-expecting opening without RotR to be quite disingenuous.

Sometimes, fanbases are, or appear to be, perennially complaining not just about minute details of the Canon, but about everything. This sometimes relates to fake fannishness: some people just don't like a piece of fiction, yet insist on …tvtropes.org

Nope. Super excited that we moved our trip up for the free dining, and now we will be able to see at least part of the new land. And eat.

Not to most people. To them it's opening.
Smuggler Run is next to the Toy Story entrance ( or FantasyLand entrance in DL) is set in the city outpost setting.
while The Rise entrance next to Muppets (or Critter Country entrance in DL) is set in a forest setting.
On May 31, in DL crowds will be entry and leaving the same entrance until Rise will become available. Same thing at Disney World on August 29 on the Toy Story side. I would not want to be anywhere near DHS on that date.

You’re probably right, and they are definitely wrong.
Any word on ADRs for the SWGE TS?

I love how people are getting all bent out of shape that the land will open “half finished“ and “still under construction“ as if half the land will still be covered in scaffolding and stuff as opposed to the reality of the door being closed on a single ride.
I am super excited about the prospect of no FastPass. Make this a little bit less of a headache for the average Joe.
In addition, Tomorrowland at the Magic Kingdom didn't receive four of its major attractions until four years after the park opened.
Also, Mickey's Toontown didn't get Roger Rabbit for a year.
Also, New Fantasyland didn't open with the Mine Train.
It really isn't any more simple than if something is ready, you open it. You don't deny the experience to the majority of people who will appreciate it just because there's the selfish few people who will raise a stink just because they're not getting everything now now NOW NOW NOW.

I haven't seen anyone acknowledge the chance that Galaxy's Edge might soft open in advance of Smuggler's Run being ready.

Can someone clarify this...
"During Extra Magic Hours guests staying at select Walt Disney World Resort hotels can spend extra time at Disney’s Hollywood Studios enjoying select attractions."
Do you think they are saying screw the peasants who are staying at the value and moderate resorts?

Many Bothans died to bring this information....
So, after talking with my insiders, WDI have planned ROTR to be opened later than the rest of the land for a while now. After having lots of problems, they knew they wouldn’t make the target date. The land opening way ahead of schedule was almost undoubtedly Iger’s handiwork as park attendance across the country has been low, plus the quarterly analysis. Likewise, operationally, they probably want to avoid a Diagon Alley incident. Simply put, Falcon has been very reliable in testing, but ROTR hasn’t been. From an operations standpoint, it’s going to be a nightmare to keep running before it breaks down, as well as the upkeep. They want to work out all the issues before trying to open.
That being said, if you’re visiting Disneyland late July, you may have a possibility of a soft opening for ROTR, but that’s one very big IF.

So I might be crazy but my family and I had planned to go to WDW in 2020 for spring break to visit SWL (Star Wars Land). We’re still going to do that but August 29 was just too soon and still before school starts for the kids so I just had to book a 3 night jaunt down there. We know it will be insane but got a discount at Boardwalk about 2 minutes after the announcement and I’m looking forward to saying I was there opening day. As a geek in his 40s I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve! I can’t wait!

Well we check out 8/28... so happy to be checking out before the day of madness, but just hoping the early part of the week is not too
crazy.

That’s always the wording. All Disney-owned resorts are included.
