An official opening is still a few months away, but a lot of people are thinking that they will open specific lines early. They still haven’t started testing the CB -> EPCOT Line.

No Lion King!

I am assuming (hoping?) this isn't all of them even though WDWNT used the word "all" in the note

I’m sure they aren’t all of them. We are missing the Mickey and Minnie one for sure, along with Beauty and the Beast, Star Wars, Guardians, and the haunted mansion. All of which we know are coming.

There has been overnight testing but no major testing like the other lines yet.

Aside from Mickey and Minnie, all of those are shown in the link.

Eat to the Beat concert lineup announced:
http://blogmickey.com/2019/05/2019-eat-to-the-beat-concert-lineup-announced/

seems like quite a few new performers (though I haven't really heard of any of them)

edit: duplicate

Of that list, Plain White T's is probably the one I'm more than marginally interested in. Pretty convenient since I plan to be at Galaxy's Edge for those 3 days there are no EEMHs.

They would. Disney made a transportation ornament set before that I have.

Virtual Queue details for Disneyland

http://blogmickey.com/2019/05/virtu...BgsHtj_G47GOqoaWeGcmAm0i1i32_nO4ic3clS6uXXsbM

"According to a post by the OC Register, guests will log in to the Disneyland app and secure their “boarding pass” to enter the land. At rope drop, guests will be able to walk directly into the land until it is full. A status bar in the app will show how full the land is at any given time. When it fills to capacity, the option to secure your boarding pass will pop up. After guests secure the pass, Disney will send a push notification to their phone when it is their turn. Guests will then have two hours to return to the land entrance to redeem their pass.

Disney hasn’t stated how long the virtual queue system will be in place for, simply stating that they will stop using it when the crowds die down and there is no longer a need for it. Disneyland is implementing this virtual queue so guests can continue to enjoy the park without the need to stand in line for Galaxy’s Edge all day."

Not a disney item, but we have Tram/Gondola Christmas tree decoration. It's automated, and the cars move from a base you put on the ground, and the top station replaces the star on top of your tree(star goes above it). So the cars go from the ground to the top of the tree and back. I could see them doing that.

I hope they do this for Hollywood too.

I think they will. Fill the land up and then after give guests a return time.

Well buggers! don't even know any of the people that are there during our trip - and we love many of the bands playing when we're not there.
*sigh*

Now we might have to go Labor Day Weekend even though I had wanted to avoid SWGE crowds, if DH finds out Sawyer Brown is on the list
