News Star Wars Galaxy's Edge opening day reports - Disney's Hollywood Studios

I knew it was going to be way busier than dl. Those ap blackouts really kept attendance down. Glad I got to see and enjoy the land out there. I have a feeling it's going to be packed for the foreseeable future in Florida, especially after rise opens.

Now 52 and the wait time is now 180.

Is it possible boarding groups may be being called earlier than their windows?

I think so .... mine is 15 and was called for 9:34. Got “in line” right at 6

 

[jrhwdw]

Agreed. I don't understand why anyone thinks Galaxy's Edge at the busiest place on Earth will just fade away after a week or two of being open. It's here to stay and it's going to be crowded for a long time. Get over it.

I can see people like myself(maybe a little too much?)being concerned about the sucesss of this, Esp when the Opening Day spirit died off so quickly in DL. I'm one of those who wants SWGE to do well in DHS/WDW. I'm glad we're seeing the lines we're seeing this morning! Granted we may not want to see SWGE at fire code for weeks on end. There has to be happy medieum right? I'm guessing when ROTR opens and it develivers we'll be back to today?

104 is the current boarding group being distributed

 

[rsm]

Do we have any idea how many people per boarding group?

 

[danlb_2000]

104 is the current boarding group being distributed

... and currently boarding 62.

I feel like this is the scene in Airplane "Now boarding at Gate 5, no gate 6, gate 10, gate 22" and can imagine people running from place to place

 

[BoarderPhreak]

SO glad I'm not going for another 84 days...

 

[Cmdr_Crimson]

6.5 hours for Falcon! people will be disappointed.
Glad I rode it a gazillion times during AP preview.

It's just Disneyquests Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle for Buccaneer Gold Fused with Mission: Space Green Team.

So do Boarding groups "sell out" at some point?

I think it is much better then that but ,I would not wait 6 hours for it,now Rotr is the ride I am really looking forward to but that opens dec.5th.

 

[Joeamc]

How busy do we think it would have been today if WDW has done similar to Disneyland and blocked out APs?

I think it would have made an impact, but not as dramatic an impact as it did in Disneyland.

 

[BoarderPhreak]

So do Boarding groups "sell out" at some point?

When wait times exceed park hours.

MCO is reporting on the situation:

 

[EPCOTCenterLover]

What is the single rider wait time?
Is Fast Pass really working for the Falcon?

 

[networkpro]

I will personally hunt down and kneecap any NON-Cast Member who uses the slogans they imposed instead of actual streetmosphere.

(Edited to specifically exclude cast members... They do wonders with the stuff that is forced upon them)

Bright Suns! Till the Spire, off the world

 

[mikejs78]

MK is a walk-on for everything except 7DMT.
FOP is 30!

That can’t be good right?

You seem pretty negative today. Why would that be bad? Everyone wants to go to the shiny new thing so no one is at the other parks.

Don't blame the cast members.

 

[jt04]

Wait times are rather meaningless since a lot of locals are a bit distracted and occupied right now.
