Again im not saying that Hollywood Studios wont be crowded once GE opens, what I am saying is that Disneyland is already a more crowded park than Hollywood Studios is currently, they both are having GE, Hollywood Studios since it is already a less crowded park before GE can absorb the crowd numbers, they both have roughly the same capacity, Yes Disneyland has more rides to take more people and put them in Queues but for sheer volume of people Disneyland already sees on average 8 million more people a year then Disney Hollywood Studio as of 2017 since 2018 numbers are not available. Now since they both roughly have the same estimated Capacity *since Disney doesnt release Capacity numbers* its fair to say that there is less crowd absorption available at Disneyland for a new Area/Attraction then at HollyWood Studios if all things are considered equal.

The whole idea isnt that one park wont be busy and the other will, because no they both will be, but Disneyland has a greater chance to reach capacity before Hollywood studios purely because of existing crowd level differences. It takes less bodies to fill the space if there is already more bodies there.

Catching up from a few pages back, but I just wanted to say that the capacity of DHS and Disneyland Park are not really comparable. Disneyland has 53 attractions - about 35 of which are rides. DHS has 17 attractions -currently a mere SIX of which are rides. Disneylands capacity is speculated to be between 80,000 and 85,000 guests. I had a harder time finding DHS numbers - but it seems it was listed at around 60,000 back when LMA, GMR, and Backlot were open, but no Toy Story land. Since we should be able to assume that both Star Wars lands will increase park capacities by equal measure, DHS will likely be able to handle about 20,000 less people than DLR once both lands are open.

I think the exact effect each park will have is hard to predict, but I actually think it could be worse at DHS - or at least worse for much longer. (DLR will be awful at first, but because the majority are repeat visitors I could see the crowds subsiding faster.) The situation is that MORE people visit WDW each day than visit DLR, probably 3 to 4 times more. You could easily have 100,000 people in Florida just wanting to see GE each day, where the land itself is likely to be able to handle less than 50,000 per day, assuming they limit people to 2-3 hours.

I know this is a minor blip of news... But, I think we’ll stick to making our own tie-dye shirts. Much more fun and less expensive. I also don’t think these are altogether that attractive.

I know they are trying to “compete” with the homemade/Etsy shirts, but part of the fun is the making and/or customizing them.

We are planning to do the tie dyed shirts at the resort on one of our afternoons. I'd much rather spend the money to make it at WDW and have a souvenir then buy it from the Disney store.

I have found capacity numbers of about 75k for HWS and Disneyland at about 80k, You are right in the fact that there are alot more rides at DL to absorb the crowded feeling, and yes because of lack of rides you will Defiantly feel the crowds more at DHS, but I do agree we should move this topic to the other thread, as comparing these parks is hard enough since they each have unique management requirements.

I could see that Disney will require you to pick your day. They already took the first step in picking the days your tickerts are valid. They already encourage you to pick your park day by doing reservations and fast passes many days in advance. How hard would it be when making your fast passes you just lock in your DHS day.

Why not just limit how many people can go to DHS on any given day -- if that day is full .. pick another day.

@rteetz - is this really rumored? That you will have to pick park days in advance? How will they deal with hoppers and day of guests? Sorry, I have a lot of questions, but I wanted to know if that was an actual rumor or just PP's speculation, although, obviously, I think it could be correct. Yikes. I would absolutely hate that. Like go from "here's my money WDW" to "that's enough."

Not really sure what you mean. Disney does already require you to buy tickets for specific dates but they do not make you choose specific parts and they are not said to be doing that anytime soon.

As @rteetz said, I can't see them making us choose a specific park in advance for a day but I am anticipating a time period where DHS will reach maximum crowds and close (at least temporarily) due to park capacity. We are used to hearing about this in the MK on Christmas Day and New Years Eve Day but I have a feeling this will become a common scenario at DHS for a while when SWGE first opens.

Feels a tad like old fashioned political propaganda... ...

I saw they were mentioned as being backstage, which is interesting. I really like the style and hope we can buy posters or have it on a phone case or something

Backstage? Like they were taken in a place that Disney doesn't want pics taken? If so, I'm not a fan.

From personal experience, if you haven't chosen a specific location to make your shirts, I would recommend going to Pop. Last summer my daughter made 1 at Pop where they used squeeze bottles of die which made it easy to penetrate the layers of t-shirt and also keep the colours somewhat distinct from one another. She made one a couple of days later at an All Star resort for her Papa where they used spray bottles of dye. Our experience was that once the shirts were washed (after being wrapped in plastic for 5 days) that the colours of the Pop shirt were much more vibrant and had less bleeding between the areas as it was easier to direct where the colour went with a squeeze bottle as opposed to a spray bottle.

A few months ago, these were being discussed on this thread. At that time, there were questions about whether the adhesive would hold.

When I was at Disney World in early February, I bought one. As you can see, basically, the answer to whether or not the adhesive will hold, is that no it will not.

Here are my results. It is installed on an OtterBox, hard plastic smooth case.

Disappointed in this but thanks for saving me money on my Aug trip. I like thr idea of these much more than the pop sockets.

Take some pictures of the Pooh ride's interactive que if you go in it! Please forward them to WDW News Today for his maintenance report! I didn't think about getting pictures when we were there a few weeks ago, but it was sad how worn/not working somethings were. Several folks mentioned it in the comments, but he won't add it until there are pictures. There is one place that doesn't even have anything in it right now. Just a hole of where something used to be. Several of the carrots didn't pop up or were missing the green stalk on top. The ball popper thing had all the balls stuck on one side so that only 10 or 15 popped in the whole thing. We normally do FP+ for Pooh so it'd been a while since we had seen it.
