Not a surprise but I’ll take this as proof that Disney manipulates park capacity/ the ability to make Flex pass reservations as they see fit. How can 1/18 and 1/19 still be available when a random Saturday in early December was booked a month in advance. Looks like they really want the publicity of the big crowds for MLK weekend when ROTR opens.

I’m going the 19th and am terrified to know soon exactly what I have to do to get a boarding group.

Was the random Saturday in December Candlelight? Of course they blocked it out to avoid traffic messes on Main Street.
And yes, with the Flex Pass, Disney gets to decide how many reservation spaces are made available. If Marketing wants a crowded Star Wars Land, then of course, they can make more spaces available...

I grew up in PA, and a lot of these parks made up our summer family vacations. Particularly fond memories of Hersheypark. Do they still have the factory tour? I’d love to see some pics of that! Hope you guys have a great time!

Does the resort have any plans for the 65th Anniversary, or just the usual one-day ceremony?

If you mean the ride in Chocolate World, it’s still running well and they’ve updated it about once a decade. In 2008, they really made the ride exciting with singing cows and other changes. That was the ride’s peak in my opinion. In 2016, they made some questionable changes*, but it’s still a solid ride. I wish Disney updated their attractions consistently instead of waiting until something becomes dated and then replacing it. Hershey would’ve ran Epcot Center better than Disney ever could’ve.
If you mean tours of the actual original factory, they stopped doing those decades ago, and actually closed and demolished most of the original factory in 2012 and 2013.
*changes include replacing the vehicles with ones that seat 5 people instead of 6, and that have video screens on them that argue with the actual ride for your attention, as well as poor projection mapping replacing convincing physical effects, weird animated video replacing legit-looking video, worse music, etc. The 2016 changes were just misguided. Rant over lol.

Yes, that must be what I’m talking about. In my head, as a kid, it was a factory tour, but I do remember it not having anything from the actual, real factory on the ride. I’d love to take another spin on that ride today! My mom has a pic of me as a baby with a character Krackle bar crying lol I remember that huge gift shop, which must be Chocolate World, with all the candy!

Yes, I don’t blame you, as a little kid I thought it was part of the actual factory. Good memories!
And they recently expanded the gift shop again
So from what I understand you need to be in the park about a half hour before it opens to pretty much guarantee getting one. Have you heard different?

I’m anticipating the same thing as DHS too, but I’m just worried about AP/SoCal crowds potentially coming in stronger numbers for opening weekend. If it’s going as smoothly as DHS is now though I’ll be relieved.
