Doubtful we will even attempt. By 830 am all slots were filled. This trip was booked back in March as a safeguard a resort room in case StarWarsland opened. Then half opened Labor Day weekend and oddly phase two this weekend. Arg.

I would try it late in the afternoon or evening if you attempt. We were able to get in at 4 pm on opening day no issue. No groups either.

Dh and I tried to see the lighting one year when we were in school in Manhattan. We couldn't get within 2 blocks of the tree. It was ridiculous. I couldn't understand why people would just pack themselves on a street that didn't even have a view of the tree. We left. Went to see it on another day.

The tree is okay. Nothing to take a trip during the light up ceremony. Though the worst tourist trap in NYC is Times Square. The shopping part not the theaters or streets on the side.

We got on in September no issue. Apparently this is the horrid crowds expected in September that never happened. We shall see.

So I read an article today that since Disney+ came out, people have been going over their internet data with comcast because they are binge watching Star Wars... etc. I also read comcast gives you 1 TERRABYTE of data a month. To put it into prospective, we watch approximately 7 ish hours a day of TV at this house (because husband is home and disabled) and then we have computers, and phones attached to the wifi, and the HIGHEST amount of data we have used in the last 6 months is 390gigs. If you only used your intenet for streaming tv, comcast said it would take 600 hours of watching to go over a Terrabyte. (and they give you 2 months of warnings before they actually start charging you pass the 1T) My goodness people. Stop watching TV and go outside, or play a game, or turn on the radio (the real radio, not streaming) or stop using your TV as a babysitter. OK /rant off I just thought it was crazy.

@figmentfan423 and others: 23 states now -- report about New Jersey, 4 hours ago. Romaine lettuce. :banghead:

Romaine lettuce E. coli outbreak spreads. N.J. up to 7 cases, more than 100 nationally.

The CDC last month advised consumers not to eat any romaine harvested from Salinas, California

Well then, NBC must not have a clue about where they are broadcasting from, in NYC. The visitor stats were displayed on the pre-show (7-8 pm) last night. That's where I read it.

Calm down Minnie. I didn't deny that there were that many people passing through, I just don't know how they could tell the difference between tourist and resident and have that accurate count to begin with. I'd like to say that I always believe one of the big three, but, they are not completely unable to pull numbers like that out of their butts. Do they stop 798,000 people and ask them to say fuggedaboutit to determine locals from visitors! That seems like a lot for one day if they are tourists. I didn't read it, was it one day or since the season began?

Don't know, don't really care. I think you should contact NBC and ask them for proof of their statistical poll.
