I never thought in my life I would be able to find out what it would be like to taste and smell Star Wars.

Guys trip anyone???

You let me know if you'll be in Orlando, and I'll join you.

@alienscollection.com I agree, there's no way that Galaxy's Edge is going to be nothing but massively crowded for at least the first year, particularly with only 2 rides in the land. I wonder if they left room for a 3rd or maybe even a 4th ride.

IIRC when the Tiki Room opened in Disneyland it was a 4 hour wait.

Flight of Passage (PHENOMENAL Avatar ride in Animal Kingdom) has hit upwards of 6 hours.

Ugh, really? And the one bar is standing room only with very few tables... Oh man - guess it's going to be more like this:

Cool look at the next-gen animatronics:

Yup, it's definitely going to be a nightmare for at least the first year, if not more.

Or a Mellinium!

So glad I'm still not interested.

Never liked amusement parks anyway...but for people who do? Have fun!

Just hit Orlando Mid september - schools in session pretty much world wide, might be the best time.

F.o.P. is the PLATINUM standard for every future amusement park ride a.f.a.i.c.

It's ok, it will be at, very best, another year before things start to calm down there and you'll be to take less than a whole day to to take in everything at Galaxy's Edge and I'm being very generous/optimistic in saying a year. So by the time you've saved up for another trip to Disneyland things should have calmed down some and they'll probably have worked out the kinks in the rides and they won't be breaking down every 15 minutes.

Absolutely. If the Smuggler's Run and Rise of the Resistance rides are in that same league, we're in for a treat.

We always have September break at that time (school starts first week of August down here in Georgia). Some of the best deals on staying on property because it’s technically hurricane season and they try to get people in. I think we’ve gotten discounted rooms and free meal plans the third week in September before.
