I agree with, I think they are ensuring that GE will packed so as not repeat the DL/GE opening

No option for DL before the WDW version opens?

Bingo.
I guess a perfectly controlled, enjoyable, almost leisurely experience will not be in the cards for us East Coasters. Gotta show up Hagrid’s Motorbike.
Not complaining per se, but I book the day after Labour Day every year for a reason. It will be neat to be among the first to experience SW:GE, but I think we’ll be in and out as quickly as possible on each of our three DHS days. The other parks’ crowds should be as per September usual though.

Kenny the Pirate is reporting that the 29th-31St of August GE will be open to all guests from 6-9am with No Extra, EMH. Has anyone else seen that?

If they do DVC previews then I'll make a quick 3 day trip down for it. If not, then I'll wait for my late September trip if it isn't hectic. If it is, then I'll get to it within 3 years.
Disney themselves reported that a couple of weeks ago.

We booked a two week trip from September 11th earlier this year thinking GE would open much later. It was both a surprise and bonus when they announced the opening date. The one downside is we've had to book an overnight stay one night in Disney to get us early entry but we've plumped for a value resort on September 18th so it's not broke the bank.
I'm in the same boat as you guys, and yes,the new FP tiers are very annoying.
The last time I went was before Toy Story Land, so it looks like some very early mornings to get to do everything.

We were going to wait to go til November or December to make sure it was open. Then magically, Free dining happened, booked our trip for end of September. Shortly after, they announced the early opening of GE. Score! Plus extra extra magic hours. We are happy campers!

Why does everyone assume that the lines will be huge. Disneyland has proven that the more people talk about the crowds that are going to be there, the more manageable the crowds actually are.

I would LOVE for this to be the case, but I just feel like that's how it always works out in Orlando. For example, "no one cares about Avatar" is something that is constantly said, but right now Flight of Passage is at 165 minutes. Slinky Dog Dash is at 95 minutes. I just feel like they handled the opening for Disneyland extremely well, but based just on how awful people act trying to rope drop Toy Story Land in Hollywood Studios, I can't see the Walt Disney World opening weeks/months going nearly as smoothly.
Again, I would LOVE to be wrong.

We planned a trip for September to see family near Jax, and decided to plan a one day stop at DHS for SW:GE.

It's not nice of you to tempt me further;-) I have 5 passes to renew and even with the Florida resident discount it is $3000 for the gold pass. Maybe the kids don't need to go to college??
