How is this different from the great movie ride? Its not..

huh?

 

[relic827]

huh?

My thoughts exactly

 

[relic827]

I’d bet the farm on breaking 200 tonight! (assuming that many groups were distributed)

 

[ToTBellHop]

We are in line! They have more confidence in it operationally. Full queue allowed to fill.

Group 192 at 7:35.

Empty Star Destroyer hangar on arrival.

Creepy. Where did all the troopers go? What if you turn the light on in your hotel room in the middle of the night and a trooper AA is there slowly turning its head to look at you?

When the last Kylo is broken, he instead flies in from the side in a TIE and shoots at you.

 

[relic827]

192 will be hard to top!

Sorry to hurt the narrative with an actual experience.

Rode first time yesterday. As expected, it was insanely good. Best ride at WDW.

We went to MVMCP last night and had a wonderful Christmastime.

Didn’t set an alarm today. Woke at 7:15 am at Wilderness Lodge and easily arrived at DHS by Disney bus at 8:20 am. Got BG 161. We are at WL now for dinner, returning to DHS later. Things look good so far. Hopefully we will manage to sleep in and still ride. Will report back.

I love the BG system.

Proof we are actually here:

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Hope you had a great time and it's fun to put a face to the name.

Really? This is difficult to picture.

When we were there on early December, the new and improved BG's system, had not been implemented yet.

I'm vicariously living the experience thru members like you. Thanks for the updates, glad you're having a great time, blisters and all!

So you come into that room, and the wall is blocking the (broken) Kylo. To his left (our right) are windows to space. Kylo flies in, screams something like “there’s no escape!” and starts shooting. This causes the depressurization and wind vortex as we flee. It’s a little strange that he would be firing on his own Star Destroyer but it’s an effective B mode so the ride story can still progress.

The CMs are PHENOMENAL. So fun. You can tell they love the job. We are having a wonderful time. We’ve never been here right at Christmas and are loving it.

Very interesting! Agreed that it's a little odd, but I'm not sure what else you could do.

Glad you're having fun during Christmas! We just returned home after being there part of last week and were blown away by the Christmas spirit, decorations, etc in the parks and resorts.

 

[DreamFlightFlier]

I am here. Rode RotR yesterday. Will be here through New Years. Still think I’m smart though.

Keep us posted! I have to go NYE, it’ll be my only chance to go to WDW till at least 2021. Appreciate any new tips or changes that you can communicate!!

Please keep spoilers out of this thread. Thanks!

What time does the parking lot open? We're doing this tomorrow morning.

Parking lot was opening at 430a last week after they went to the 7am opening. Not sure of it has changed this week or not.

$175 million for the first 4 days is hardly "bombing."

Lackluster...not up to the standards they set and china? What china? Will it make money you bet. Is it performing like they wanted. Big NO. But thats an aside the issue at hand is if the switchbacks become permanent and my belief that theres no reason Disney would protect show over operations/capacity.

 

[matt9112]

You mean the same premium that is granted to "off site", Hilton Palace, Hilton, Double Tree, B Resort, Best Western, Wyndahm, Wyndham Resort, Hilton Bonnet Creek, Waldorf, etc, etc.

Camp site....dont even stay there...EMH and fastpass way out.
