2 reasons.
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).
silly you... night time is for hard tickets disney is more than happy to see you enjoy nightime hours....for a price.
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.
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...
Family tradition of Chef Mickeys early doors morning one then onto MK and try to make it till the 3 oclock parade but SWGE is on the plan for morning two
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.
This isn't Wal-Mart.
I doubt that. I think most guests who have to travel will choose Walt Disney World over Disneyland.
Why? It’s 2 months later and at the end of summer.
As I said, I'm referring to "the hardest of hardcore Star Wars fans." The people who go to SWC and whatnot aren't going to want to wait.
Won’t the hardest of hardcore fans want to visit both?
Assuming they have unlimited vacation dollars and vacation time, of course. But who does?
Why? They're the exact same thing except one is more humid.
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.
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.
