So what's your plan for visiting GE for the first time?

[durangojim]

Just curious how folks are approaching this. Get up at 4 am for 6am rope drop? Stroll leisurely into the park in the afternoon? Make reservations for the activities?

For us, we're landing at MCO at 1pm on 8/29. We have a 7pm Savi reservation. Our plan is to check in at the Boardwalk after taking the Magical Express, walk over to DHS, ride RNRC, ST, check out the shops at GE, have dinner at 5 at the Brown Derby, do Savi's, see how long the line is for Falcon and maybe watch the fireworks and then go back to the room. Hit Oga's up around noon the next day and then enjoy the pool and Food and Wine for the last couple days of our brief visit.

Heading to the studios firs thing of the second day of our park days, mostly to get TSM in as its my wifes and I favorite. Ill try to at least get some photos, likely not get anymore than that as this is a short trip, but just enough to say i was there.

Try Falcon before your 7pm thing.

Try Falcon before your 7pm thing.

Will do. Do you think the afternoon will be the slowest time?

we are travelling from the UK for two weeks in October and were hoping Disney were going to be releasing info about how everyone can get access to the land without a standard wait 7 hours etc. We did book a reservation the other day for Ogas Cantina so hoping if we have a reservation we will at least be able to get access. We have a baby and a toddler so will not be waiting in line for hours just to access GE.

Oga’s gives you access 1 hour prior to your reservation.

I get in on 8.28 - hitting up MGM that afternoon/evening. Staying at Beach Club, so I have walking access to MGM. Planning on being in line by 4 on 8.29. Riding MFSR as many times as I can before my 10:30 Savi's reservations; 11:50 Droid Depot reservations; and 1:30 Oga's reservations. Back to the hotel to drop off my ridiculous amount of merch, the back to the park to hit my other Fastpasses.

Staying on-site the night of 16th September. The plan is to get up on the 17th around 4am to check-out and be at the Studios for 4:30am. This time may change to slightly earlier or later depending on how busy it is in the two weeks leading up to our visit.

Hit up the bathroom and leave. Luke deserved better!!!

We're also planning on the 17th. Waiting patiently see what happens in the first couple weeks, as well. We have afternoon and evening reservations in the land, but rope drop could be an option too

6:00 am on 9/4 and 9/6, although we have Oga’s ressies and Droid Depot ADR’s both days; and then a mid afternoon arrival to enjoy the rest of DHS later that week.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

My plan: walk into Disneyland, walk into sparse land, drink weird stuff, look at merchandise, ride simulator ride, depart.

UPDATE: plan worked perfectly

I think you might be overplanned.

It’s better than that...

And they of course are hawking as much OT stuff as they can. “Slid it in there” like college.

I expect that to go more OT/GT over time. Who’s zoomin who at this point?

 

[JenniferS]

“Overplanned” is my middle name.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

“Overplanned” is my middle name.

I just looked at/did this stuff...

You’re committed to about $450 bucks guaranteed if you follow through on those two things...

It’s not gonna be worth that kinda investment

 

[marni1971]

No, but you’ll have a better chance to ride.

 

[I'm all ears]

Great thank you that's good to know.

I am hoping by the time we get there in October it might have calmed down and we can just get in the land. Last time we visited pandora had been open for six months and the queues for FOP are still so long now!

Maybe we can have a blue milk together? (I'll even let you pay)

Prefer rope drop myself and we have fast passes for 9am onwards, really looking forward to it now

 

[mergatroid]

No, but you’ll have a better chance to ride.

You not planning on visiting Martin?
