Are lines for the non-Star Wars attractions shorter during SWW?

I would think that they would be since so many of the park's visitors are concentrating on the Star Wars events. Are they?

I'm hoping to be able to finally ride Toy Story Mania without a problem. We were not able to do it on our last trip because fast passes were out by the time we got there and the line was just too long for our little ones.

I've found that the park is just generally busier than usual and most guests will all hit the big stuff. So RnR, ToT and TSM will be busier than normal.

We arrive in 2 weeks. Our plan is to get to MGM on the early entry days to do those must do attractions like TSM. Last summer we rode TSM 3 x's w/o trouble. Went straight to TSM, grabbed FP's first, got in line (less than 10 minute wait), rode, got back in line (said 45 minute wait, really about 20), then hit SW,next, I walked back and grabbed FP's for husband and oldest daughter to ride ToT and RnRR. Then used our FP's for TSM. That's roughly our goal for our early entry days. If you don't have hoppers or if you will only be in MGM once, then I'd make it a priority to get to TSM first thing in the AM if you really want to ride it w/o wait.

Disney has ONE Star Wars-themed attraction...with ONE Star Wars-themed gift shop and ONE Star Wars-themed streetmosphere-type entertainment. It's not like half of the park is all Star Wars. And certainly not enough to drain the crowds from the other attractions. That, and there will still be regular guests there...so if anything the crowds would increase.

They have other stuff going on that is exclusive to the weekends beside the regular Star Wars stuff. They add another gift shop (Wicket's Warehouse) and many more shows and streetmosphere type entertainment.
