Galaxies Edge in January 2020

[BFiggy]

So I've been waiting all my life to see a live version of Star Wars and It's finally coming.
I know the crowds are going to be bad, but how bad do you think they will be in January and February of 2020?

It is opening in "winter 2019" which can mean anything from early November to December 20ish, most guesses are putting just before Christmas.

My guess is that it will likely be packed until at least Sept/October 2020, if not longer - just look at Pandora.

Crowds will still be huge at that time. However, if you're really excited for it, then I say come up with a plan and go for it. Crowds aren't likely to be small any time within the first year sans for a few outlier days.

Thanks guys! I know how it's going to be deep inside I was just hoping for a different answer. Getting a little old and don't want to wait until I can't enjoy it, so I guess I will deal with the crowds.

2120 would be my guess for when crowds will die down.

If budget isn't an issue, I'm sure there will be options available for purchase to ensure that you get into the land and on to the rides...

Otherwise, FP+ and an on-property resort stay are a must.

It’s opening in “late fall”, not “winter”. But your actual dates are probably as narrow a timeframe as we can have right now.

Agreed... I was at Pandora a few months after it opened... crowds were crazy, but getting a FastPass for the attractions wasn't that bad (when booking FastPasses the moment they became available). Between FastPasses during the day and EMH at night, we got to see everything we wanted. There WILL be crowds for at least the first year or so, but if you're primary intent is just to be able to ride the rides, FP+ and an on-property stay will be the key.

Bad for at least 5 years after opening

Crizay.

(Not you. The crowds.)

January overall should be typical crowds, lighter than most months, but DHS will still be a hot mess. Like others have said, just get their at rope drop or FP it if possible, but be prepared for 3 hour waits ala FOP.
