By my estimation around 8pm the night before if you want to be inside SWGE in the first wave. I'm basically waiting to see DL opening, how many people will they allow into the land before it hits capacity, any jump in on site and off site reservation and general chatter from all my SW friends that are local.Assuming there is overnight camping allowed for the 8/29 opening, any guesses regarding how early you’ll need to be in line to be part of the initial wave into the land (not being queued on grand avenue, etc)?
They basically allowed people to bring small tents, foldable chairs and form a line outside the entrance. There were taped queues so everyone knew who was in front and behind them"The overnight lineups will be handled similarly to the queues to formed for DL's 50th and 60th anniv. celebrations."
So how did DL handle the queues then?
Allowing camping kind of screws me. If they allow camping out for more than 12-18 hours I think I'm out. I can't go on a "family vacation" and dedicate more than a day to waiting in line. I must be getting out becasue days sitting out in the Florida heat and sleeping on the sidewalk might be too much too. I guess I'm not as dedicated of a Star Wars nerd as I thought.
So interesting...will mean a very early and massive queue on grand avenue and given that the first wave will be the uber-fans particularly inclined to spend the whole day in the land, I don’t see how the queue moves.By my estimation around 8pm the night before if you want to be inside SWGE in the first wave.

My estimate is based purely at the moment from SW friends that are local and we use to "camp out" for SWW
We'll eventually leaveSo interesting...will mean a very early and massive queue on grand avenue and given that the first wave will be the uber-fans particularly inclined to spend the whole day in the land, I don’t see how the queue moves.

I initially thought they would use something similar at WDW and while I’m still hopeful, my completely speculative read of the tea leaves at this point is no significant addition to crowd control outside of the already announced 6am openings/EMHsgiven that they have figured out how to impose time limits at DL, I would expect something similar at WDW. The ability to sweep the park and move people out is already established (with the evening parties in MK) and SWGE is 1/10 the size of MK so it's absolutely within the wheelhouse of logistics to execute.
Hopefully the queues will go past some of the boardwalk area hotels so we can check our chairs and tents with bell servicesThey basically allowed people to bring small tents, foldable chairs and form a line outside the entrance.

Virgin Holidays have announced The Ultimate Star Wars Experience, Star Wars themes flight, immersive dining, SWs themed desert party and 'Be among the first in the queue for one of the exciting rides in this new land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Also take part in a private 1-hour event where you are free to explore the land (without rides), encountering roaming Star Wars™ Characters along the way.'Hopefully the queues will go past some of the boardwalk area hotels so we can check our chairs and tents with bell services

This is for Disneyland, but perhaps a preview of what will be allowed at WDW too

Disney will allow camping out for opening day (May 31st) and first post-reservation day (June 24th) at Disneyland

This point has been discussed in several threads already. People with reservations will get there early to be at the front of the pack of their time scheduleThis may be naive but.... June 24th makes perfect sense but May 31st? Disney have explicitly stated that you have to have a reservation to get in. They have explicitly stated that reservations are limited, and indeed, they have sold out. Reservations are for a guaranteed block of time.
What do people need to camp out for?

For rope drop and minimal waits for things in SWGE? The earlier the better obviously. I would say 4:30AM at the latest to get in the front pack but we don't know for sure quite yet. 5AM will still get you in no doubt but you may see a wait for things at that point.So any thoughts of how early to get to HS the 2nd day, Aug. 30th? We fly out on Sat. the 31st and we don't need to be there for opening day.
Friday the 31st will be our only day we can go unless there are some soft opening early in the week.
Do you guys think getting to the gate at 5am for the 6am opening will be too late?
This was common practice during SWW. But we don't know how they will approach rope drop here for this. The park is scheduled to open at 6am but i bet they will be opening the tapstiles way earlier just to get people walking over to the entrance to the land like they did with PandoraWill be there the first 3 days of opening and trying to figure out the best way to bring the kids to SWGE. Is it kosher to hold a place in the rope drop line and have wife/2 kids join around 5a? I am pretty sensitive about these types of issues and don’t want to do something the majority feel is unfair.
