Schnikes, we've found the catch. Everybody and their Momma can come. What's the point of exclusivity, if almost everyone is able to take part in the tea party?

What's next they are going to allow all of the Irlo Bronson motels?

All the resorts were booked on Christmas day and MK opened at 7 am. We got there at 6:45 thinking they would still be packed but the park was empty. We walked half of fantasyland without seeing anyone. We left at 10:30 ish and had to fight our way against a literal wall of people coming in.

My point is.... yes everyone seems to be included. But not everyone is going to get there at 4 am. And certainly not all on the same day.

In reality if you get to the park at 4am you won’t be staying till close so the 12 hours after are redundant as you are going to be goosed and grumpy by 2pm so that still only leaves 2 hours to do other stuff by your maths (I am talking about a generic family here not a single young male).

Also apart from the opening week or two are we really expecting a 4 hour wait to get into the land itself? I get a 4 or 5 hour que for SR for months ahead but surely there comes a critical point where Joe Public looks at the wait time and says “nope not for me today”.

In some ways we are lucky as we will be there late October and coming from the UK we have 10 nights on site so we will dedicate a full day to SWGE rock up at 8:30ish (so using EMHs but not daft o’clock) and it will takes as long as it takes!!!!!

Coming from the UK should work even more for you though (I am also from the UK). We always find on the first day or two with the time difference/jet lag that we wake up at stupid o'clock in the morning anyway- and are wide awake. We then have to wait until we can actually do anything as sometimes it's before even the food courts are open. So this is perfect for us for those first few mornings!

I am sure that during the first two weeks of GE open, it will be a lot more single young males and not as many generic families. Families with small kids will be the exception to the throngs of aged Star Wars fans. So his point stands.

Ah, but these people were not Star Wars fans visiting a Star Wars land for the first time...

I pity those who show up not realizing what they're in for...

The good news for WDW guests is that most of THOSE people will have already seen the land in California. The hardest of hardcore Star Wars fans won't be in Orlando.

I don’t understand how people keep discounting this fact. So many average Joes don’t know/care that Disneyland & Walt Disney World are separate places.

Are we thinking that ROTR will open during the EEMH Season? Whenever it opens are we looking at another SWGE Opening Day/Weekend crowd situation ?

Assuming they have unlimited vacation dollars and vacation time, of course. But who does?
Click to expand...

Unlimited is somewhat exaggerated. These super fans will happily drop a few hundred to get to both cities and stay a couple of nights. They won’t care about the rest of the parks etc.

Why? They're the exact same thing except one is more humid.

Because. The same reason they have a copy of every single version of the movie ever released, like the 10th anniversary, director’s cut, redigitised etc. And still have the VHS tape, DVD, blue ray.

Yep, looking at my DH here lol! He won’t be going, because that would mean two trips in a year across the Atlantic. But if he did have £10K to just spend on a whim I’m sure he would.

Does anyone know if QS restaurants or snack places (such as Woodys Lunchbox or Gastons Tavern or any others...) will be open earlier than their normal operating-hours - during the Extra Extra magic hours?

Thanks,
