Han Solo and Luke are dead. Leia...I don't know if I want to see old soft-focused Mary Poppins floating through the air.

In Anaheim, the other park is a hop, skip, and a jump away.

Only 10 minutes for ToT? Time for a Marvel overlay.

I'm starting to think everything Bob Chapek says is BS. Next, he'll try to convince us he has hair.

The three other parks generally have longer wait times today compared to DHS.
So is your assertion that on Opening Day at DHS that WDW customers are just hopping over to ride the Falcon with a 90 minute wait, buy some blue milk and poke around the Droid Depot and the gift shops for a bit, take a picture of a Stormtrooper, and then leave the park after 3 hours and go back to Pandora?
If so, I can't imagine that's how the Billion dollar business case for Star Wars Land was sold to the execs.

That’s actually the most rides it’s ever had since it’s 89 opening. Before today 6 was the highest number of rides.“...entire roster of 7 rides...”
You’re soooo petty, TP.

And that’s really sad and unfortunate. Hopefully the park continues to actually grow and not continue to replace rides.

They need to just calm down before they actually build a half-day park out of that thing.

The two new lands are the first time the park has had a theme that deviates from Hollywood and static New York, although I was never clear if that was also supposed to be a movie set.

Haha yeah. Unlike DAK where there are multiple animal exhibits and trails and Epcot where there are several museums, shops, dining and displays DHS only has its dated shows

It was a set yes. Used in films when the park was a working studio. Mostly MMC sketches or music videos

Just for fun, here's the current Anaheim wait times at 3:45pm for the cloned or equivalent DHS versions at Disneyland/DCA:
Millennium Falcon: Target Run (clone) - 25 Minutes
Guardians of the Galaxy (Tower of Terror) - 35 Minutes
Star Tours (clone) - 15 Minutes
Midway Mania (clone) - 30 Minutes
Goofy's Sky School (Slinky Dog?) - 10 Minutes
Incredicoaster (Rock N' Roller Coaster?) - 5 Minutes
Mater's Junkyard Jamboree (clone) - 5 Minutes
That's two hours of wait time in Anaheim to get on the cloned/equivalent rides at DHS. I have no idea what that means, but it's fun to think about.

Different tastes, maybe? Lack of interest? It’s definitely interesting.
I honestly hope it’s getting harder to impress Disneyland fans. However after seeing how folks reacted to that Marvel announcement, I guess that’s not happening anytime soon.

Here's the 8:30pm Eastern update for DHS Opening Day wait times, per the WDW App...
Star Tours - 5 Minutes
Alien Swirling Saucers - 10 Minutes
Tower of Terror - 13 Minutes
Midway Mania - 20 Minutes
Rock N' Roller Coaster - 30 Minutes
Slinky Dog Coaster - 45 Minutes
Millennium Falcon - 80 Minutes
Over on the WDW side of the forums the East Coasters/Midwesterners are huffing and puffing over this rather slow day for DHS. After the neckbeard bloggers all pulled their overniter in the parking lot and got there at sunrise and rode the Falcon and bought the Blue Milk, the land has settled in to rather modest opening day crowds. More telling is that the rest of DHS is very slow, with stuff like Star Tours and Tower of Terror being basically walk-ons for much of the day.
I'll say it again, but we'll check back in three weeks to see how it's doing out there. But for now, it's pretty much a repeat of Disneyland's opening weekend except with only 6 other rides at DHS to balance the "crowds" instead of 37 other rides at Disneyland.

This is traditionally one of the slowest times of the year for WDW. Remember the panic last year when September crowds dipped?
The MF has an estimated pph of 1,750. After 17 hours of operation, that's almost 30,000 rides.
This definitely is less than the line for FoP or any Potter Land, but it's not dead either. It seems to have hit the sweet spot. Let's see if it can keep it that way during the September doldrums, and see what happens when the mid-Fall crowds pick up, and see what happens when RotR is added...
MK gets tons more people daily than the other three. FoP can still be one to three hour wait.
