I always find Diagon Alley very claustrophobic probably due to the height of the buildings, maybe a similar feel for GE?

I don't think you quite realize how absolutely HUGE that berm is already (before they even put trees and such on it). A human on the ground TODAY would probably barely be able to see those buildings, never mind once the project is finished.

Any idea on the estimated capacity for the land itself?
And with using GA as entry and TSL as exit, will be as simple as cast members at each keeping track of in/out numbers to let guests in?
Bodies upright or stacked?

I fully anticipate being so close to people for the entirety of our time there that I can guess their deoderant, so stacked?
If I carry my kid on my shoulders the whole time do we count as one or two?
Apologies for being that guy as I am a new member and rooting through 609 pages won't be doable.
Is there any insider information or educated guesses on when exactly in 2019 we're looking at? I've been told elsewhere September or October is probable but wondered how accurate that is.
I'm UK based and would hate to book a visit and miss out by a fraction.

Actually, that's the best we got so far from our insiders, though, September would be pushing it a bit. The thing is that at this point Disney might have a target date, but there's no telling at this point whether they'd come in early and start doing previews and soft openings, or, they come in behind schedule and they open in December to coincide with the next episode.
Thanks. I'm thinking it might be best to play it safe and aim for 2020 but if there was a chance of going in 2019 and it's open.

Honestly, do 2020.... Guaranteed to be open, and not as crazy as the first few months will be....
This is obviously financially permitting haha. I'm a teacher so it will verge on whether I'm properly employed, still on agency supply or have got a different job out of teaching altogether, and therefore whether or not I'm stuck to school holidays or can go whenever, and it's subsequent impact on the price.

And imo if waiting until 2020, you may as well wait until 2021 and do a longer stay. We’re certainly using the current lineup announcements as an opportunity to see other places...starting with California (and Disneyland) this year
It’s going to be painful waiting until 2021, but worth it for the new attractions across Disney, Uni, and hopefully Seaworld in 2021.

Well they have land twice the size of Manhattan if they need more Star Wars they have plenty of space to build a new park or expand the land

The quality's poor, but I found a pretty good match for another of wdwmagic's aerials over at the Orange County Register:
If I've lined thing's up correctly, then the biggest surprise to me is that the Resistance hangar (with the blue and white shuttle and Poe's X-Wing actually butts up right against the First Order Star Destroyer Hangar. This also seems to sit right on top of the odd round concrete structure that is considered to be a transition element. The red A-Wing and Blue X-Wing will sit right right in front of the tunnel, and the Resistance turret that many believe will be the start of the Battle Escape queue would be on your left just as you enter. Still not sure what that huge cylindrical thing right in the center is- seems to be meant to evoke the engine of a wreck similar to the ship that Rey scavenged from.
Thank you everyone who has been getting these great aerial shots.

Bioreconstruct has a few new aerials up today.
I'd been curious about those spires going up way in the back of the falcon building as they didn't seem visible in the model, and didn't seem to match up with my previous guess. But I found that they show up quite clearly in the Disney Parks Blog flyover due to the fact that they removed the backdrop painting and instead put a black background behind the model. Here's another comparison to help you get a lay of the land:
If anyone thinks this may be incorrect, please let me know.
On a side not, has anyone else noticed that the dome marked #10 looks a lot like R2-D2's head?
