How bad is it? Seems weird that an issue with the wifi would take months to fix.
Have they tried resetting the router?

...seems when they lose connection with the ride vehicle for more than 300 milliseconds, the ride vehicles shut down as a safety measure.
Cars keep shutting down a lot.

Sounds like a software problem. At Pooh they have a problem if dispatch gets delayed too long and the cars back up too far into the ride it shuts down and they have to do a full evac and power down/power up. It's a real pain.

It’s like cancelling the drive in theatre aspect of the original carsland... seems like a slam dunk... but other things took priority.
Have they tried inverting the polarity?

I expect to be passed by at least two hundred people as I wait in line. I'm going to have to bring my lightsaber and go all Kylo Ren on them.

"The capacity of the small Cantina is just under 100 people, mostly standing. The bar only has a dozen stools and a few booths along the back."
Did they learn nothing from DCA?

For the folks going in August, although it sucks that RotR may not be open, it may actually be a blessing in disguise. I assumed a lot of local AP fans would end up buying single day tickets to be "first" into the land. If RotR is not open, many may just wait until their AP blackout is lifted in September.
I'm wondering with the delayed opening, how Sept/Oct is going to work. Not sure what's going to happen with APs trying to visit the land and Disney trying to maximize profits with Halloween Nights.

I originally predicted that SWL would open (not with reservations but really open) on 6/21 in sync with when the Deluxe APs become blocked out of DL. I think I figured out why they re going with 6/24. It was to dissuade Deluxe Passholders from booking a multiple day stay while they are still not blocked out and just buying single day tickets at the end of their trip. For example if they were to open SWL on 6/21, you might have many Deluxe APs book say a 3 day stay (not necessarily on site) starting on 6/19 and then stay through 6/21 buying a single day ticket for opening day.

Didn't we hear the Halloween parties were going to be moved to DCA this year? CMs will have a lot of working hours if both parks are open late through the fall...

Interesting thought, not sure I buy it though. I don’t see how having deluxe staying multiple days prior would make them change plans. As deluxe can still buy a single day pass for the 25th and would still be the same thing.

Right of course they still can but the incentive to do so is not as high. At that point they re probably more willing to wait until later that summer.
Anyway, just a shot in the dark.

Speaking of "breaking the illusion", brother, I can tell you such stories.
Like when Walt Disney announced Disneyland and he said we would fly with Peter Pan. Well, fella, let me tell you -- I didn't fly anywhere, I was suspended from the ceiling in a fiberglass frigate (completely out of scale, I might add) while moving on a factory conveyor belt over some robot puppets. RIP-OFF!!! It was fake! All Fake! I was supposed to "use my imagination" or "put things in context"? Buddy, I didn't pay to go there and work, they're supposed to do all that for me.
And don't get me started on that whole "Rocket to the Moon" crap! When we "left Earth", to experience zero gravity, I tossed a quarter in the air and it fell and hit a baby in the eye. Baby starts bawlin', everyone's looking at me like I'm the bad guy. I start shouting, tell everyone the trip is fake, and they start yelling at me, and get this -- I didn't get my quarter back.
I think the only real thing in the park is the actor playing Lincoln. He's amazing. I've seen him a few times over the years and he's able to give the exact same performance each time I go. Pal, that's some dedication right there, amigo.
Anyway...
Point is, Disney may have stated that Galaxy's Edge is the most immersive and detailed display of theming they've ever done, and that may very well be true -- for them. But it's still a Disney theme park, you're not going to be transported like Schwarzenegger in Total Recall to a place where you can't distinguish reality from the outside world. You'll see price tags on merch, someone is going to ask you for a credit card to pay for your "Ronto Burger" or "Mynock Buffalo Wings" or "Roasted Rancor Meatloaf", you'll find T-Shirts, plush toys...you might even be able to buy a Coke somewhere (maybe not, but I wouldn't be shocked if they did offer soft drinks at some nook). Just like the rest of the Park, only in next-level highly-themed restaurants and shops. Did you really think otherwise? If so, I don't know what to tell you.

I’m on vacation and too many pages to catch up... so apologies that I am responding to the conversations on Thursday.
Many people are looking about this completely the wrong way. This month early is Disney providing a public preview for something that long has been earmarked for late June. RoTR staggered opening is nothing other than them not being able to open the ride early. Not a case of it running late or a canary in a coal mine.
This is opening far earlier than the late June date we expected, for capacity limited reservation based public previews. This is what I’ve been saying for the last year at least. It’s a good move.
This is NOT a grand opening, it’s a public preview!

I hear you, but will there be ribbon cutting and a little fanfare on for the media on May 30th or the morning of the 31st? I'd call that a grand opening then.
