I don't quite know the answer to that, but I got close. I rode it by myself once. I took the right pilot seat, but every other seat was empty.
I can say that it was frustrating as the right pilot to not have a competent pilot on the left (crashed into lots of things I thought we should have...
I've got the same issue, also on Monday. But I'm gathering that it should be fine as long as I'm there (I'm the primary reservation holder) - it's just that anybody not present when I check in won't be able to go in at all.

I wonder. If there are PhotoPass photographers in Galaxy's Edge, will they be using custom camera setups (or at least custom housings for their cameras)? The usual Nikon DSLRs might look a little incongruous on Batuu.
I was wondering more about if there might be a security gate to get from the rest of the park into Galaxy's Edge (or vice versa - checking for alcohol?)
If not, though, what do you suppose the security gate near Critter Country would be for? Backstage?
The 4 most crowded days I've been to Disneyland in the last ten years were all in 2018. It partly depends on when exactly you go - we didn't go at all in July and it sounds like that month was unusually light.
