DHS Star Wars Galaxy's Edge opening day reports - Disney's Hollywood Studios

[networkpro]

Don't blame the cast members.

Pardon, I should have emphatically stated that it would be limited to non-castmembers... they are just doing as they have been obligated by the company to interact with the customers... by no means is it their fault and is beyond their control.

Thanks for the report.

Let me know how FoP rope drop and normal line looks today.

What's the penalty if you make a droid reservation and then don't show......(you just wanted to skip the line and get into 'Batuu' ?)

My post was for Savi's Workshop - didn't realize droid depot was doing that as well.

I'm going to be in Disney World end of February. If the crowds are still this big for this land I will be forced to skip it. I'm not going to make my kids stand in lines like that. Would be a major disappointment for myself though.

 

[Disney Analyst]

As we've discussed, SWGE feels very static. The MF (and other ships) should have occasional bursts of steam/vapor or water dripping here and there, to make them feel more "active." The audio ambiance also seems to be pretty lacking or too subdued.

The Millenium Falcon has flaps that move and steam bursts... the blue (x-wing?) smokes up and has dramatic moments... so?

MCO social media is the best! I never thought I would follow the account for longer than the last trip we had to Orlando. The have so much fun with it.

I really love there tweets related to Journy Into Imagination and the closing of Illuminations: Reflections of Earth.

Honestly seeing stuff like this makes me truly appreciate Disneyland’s approach. Even if it made twitter label it a failure.

Oh, good. I hadn't seen those. So sue me.

I think the point should be not to jump on this bandwagon of hate if you don’t actually know what the land offers or does.

 

[marni1971]

150 minutes is more manageable than earlier.

We had a great time at DL this summer - I do not envy the crowds at DHS.

 

[Cmdr_Crimson]

Weird question...Has there been more people going to Pizza Rizzo now due to the crowds? I only ask this as it was one thing they had closed for sometime within that area and being by the GE area...

 

[Chomama]

The first day Flight of Passage and Mine Train will be walk-on.

Honestly, if I was there right now, I might have gone at the 6AM opening just to say I'd been, ridden everything else, and then headed to one of the other parks and saved the actual Galaxy's Edge experience for a different day.

That’s what we did! Got there at 4am and we’re close to the front. Then did slinky and rnrc (has entire trains to ourselves on both). Then rope
Dropped ak and Epcot! Food and wine for lunch. Naptime! It
Was
A memorable day. DHS was very organized and handled the crowds wonderfully. Kudos to them.

Disneyland did do it right. People have their whole lives to see SW:GE... no reason to pack every possible human in right at opening.

People have long complained about Disney’s crowds - then, when Disney actually does something to mitigate the crowds - people label them a failure. Can’t win.

Maybe Disney should just be more like Universal and allow ten hour lines for new rides like there was for Hagrid’s. Now that’s success .

 

[Dave B]

It’s opening day on a summer holiday weekend with no AP blackouts. I’m surprised that people thought it would be empty. Let’s see what the land is like two weeks from now.

I Will let you know we will be there in 16 days

 

[Mainahman]

Well looks like we got a better reception than DL... Cant wait to see it in person in 9 days. 10 days till im in that park.
