Line for Smugglers Run now begins at Chinese Theater

I was just in time to waltz right in. The lines to get into the land now are nuts.

 

[DHoy]

Time to wrap that line into the land and start boarding groups

Virtual queue now in operation

 

[Stripes]

Yeah, this is gonna be different from Disneyland.

6:17am and there’s only 6 people in line for the bus at All Star Movies, including myself and my son. But by the looks of things that doesn’t mean much. We have a 9:50am reservation for Droid Depot.

Yeah, this is gonna be different from Disneyland.

Some people will never understand, Disneyland is the worlds largest regional themepark and is mostly a locals park. Therefore, when they blocked out the season passholders. they blocked over 60% of their guests, the attendance went down. WDW on the otherhand is a tourists park. Even many passholders are not local. We have Platinum Plus passes but only vist 4 times a year as DVC owners. The attendance report for the December quarter will show the massive increase in attendance everyone expected but the September 30 quarter may show another decrease as people delayed their vacations until GE opened.

I’m happy that the reception to this land has been a lot better than the one out at DLR. Hopefully that leads to WDW getting more high quality attractions

The craziest part of the pictures are the strollers I see. No way in heck I would take my toddler to opening day at 4 in the morning.

See, I saw this right as a lady walked into the cantina with her stroller...

Anyone know what time they actually started letting people ride SR?

Interestingly you do not need to be in the park or even in WDW to use it.

That’s gonna completely mess with their wait estimations as some people inevitably won’t show. Or will be prevented from entering DHS at all. A big oversight imo.

You're right.. just joined a boarding group from several states away

I Arrived at 5am and walked right in..waited 5 minutes for a breakfast wrap, took a bunch of night photos and out at 6. Line for falcon was 6 1/2 hours when i arrived. Im glad i had the preview last week!

The boarding pass system is a bit flawed. I was clicking through the MDE app and clicked on the “Join Boarding Group” link thinking it wouldn’t let me join, seeing that I’m not in the land/park at all...I’m not even in Florida...but I’m in boarding group 59, so maybe by the time I go in 31 days my time will be up.

 

[LukeS7]

Hour plus waits for most stores it seems

 

[marni1971]

Bets on if they’ll close the ride line when the wait time exceeds the park closing time?

I’d say it’s likely
