I’ve been watching the wait times and most of the times this week it’s only been 15 minutes. Great for everyone. The wait times do go up in the crossover hours but quickly drops back down...
Yes, I've noticed the short wait times (which is a good thing, but can't last forever -- especially after June 24th), but I'm wondering if the reported Information Kiosk does, in fact, exist where it is supposed to be (no one has verified that in this thread) and if anyone has even tried requesting a DAS return time for the ride.
 
Right! We're mostly interested in blue milk, a bit of shopping (toy shop, droid depot premade stuff), and the ride. Of course we'd like to walk around and experience the land as well! I was wondering because we plan on arriving 30 minutes after our reservation start and leaving an hour before it ends and I didn't know if we would feel satisfied-ish in that amount of time or not.

You should be fine. We spent 2 hours, wandering around, shopping, drank blue milk and rode Falcon with 20 min wait an hour into reservation period.
 
I feel your pain. We're going tomorrow, 11-3, so right during lunchtime. I'm packing extra snacks and I *think* my kid will eat the crispy chicken with macaroni and cheese kids meal at Docking Bay 7. He'll at least eat the mac 'n cheese. I'll bribe him with a churro later, lol! Good luck!

So, did he eat it? I have a couple of picky eaters, and I worry that that dish will turn them off because of how it looks, even though the actual food is clearly in their wheelhouse.
 


We have an 8 am reservation tomorrow 6/9. The only must do is Savis which we'll head to first. Any reports from the past few days on how the lines are for Savis and the system they are using?

Also, are any of the Starbucks open at 6 am?

I think this is it. It’s staffed by plaids. That’s all the more help I can be, but it’s something?

Can I bring my droid I built and the droid backpack through security if I were to go back to SWGE?
Yes. I’ve brought mine through again. They do ask you to unzip the front flap but I didn’t need to pull her out. That was at the DLH security stop, but I’ll be bringing her thru Mickey and Friends today so I’ll let you know if there are any issues!
 
About how long do you think you would need in the land to feel satisfied? We are not interested in the cantina or savis.
Your plan sounds very similar to our experience. We arrived about 20 minutes after our reservation period started (no waiting to get in) and then spent our time wandering and checking out shops, rode SR with very short waits, did some shopping and Droid Depot with little waits. Did not do the Cantina or Savis. Got Blue/Green Milk and watched the stage show with the Storm Troopers / Kylo Ren and still were ready to leave with about an hour left in our reservation time.

That is a very big help -- thank you so much! (The plaids look rather out of place, don't they? I was wondering if they'd have different costumes in GE.) Is that entrance the one by Big Thunder? Your DD looks very happy with Izzy! :)

My DS22 is special needs and has a DAS. Do you mean the ability to get into the land *without* a reservation? I would think a DAS wouldn't bypass the reservation system. The reservation period struck me as more of a hard-ticketed type of event to which a DAS wouldn't apply, but frankly it never occurred to me that it would so I didn't specifically ask. But if you have a reservation period time, and the ride line gets unusually long, maybe they could help out then? But as the ride isn't set up for FP right now that I could tell, I'm not sure how you could bypass the queue. The good news is that that ride queues have been super short. We had less than 15 minutes for our reservation period. Even when it said 25 minutes it was more like 15-20. The time I could have really used it was for lining up in the morning, but I just explained to everyone around me what was going on, and they were all really sweet about DS's "excitement." I would think the DAS would come into play more when the reservation period ends and the virtual queue starts up. I'll report back as we have another trip in early July.

It’s the Fantasyland exit. They’re tucked about as out of the way as they can be, but they are still rather out of place! There are also some security guards in the land who are in their normal outfits, also a bit jarring.

She is well pleased with Izzy. The dog is not so sure.

There’s a queue bypass set up. We got sent up there as pixie dust.

Glad you and your DS had a good visit!

No, I am talking about using a DAS return time for MFSR for those who have reservations now. Guest Relations CMs have been talking about DAS being available to guests in GE for months now, but have not had much information to give beyond the fact that the service would exist and that there would be no Information Kiosk in GE. A week before the land opened, plaids said a new Information Kiosk would be placed outside the land. When the land opened, the Kiosk was inside the land. These changes are great and are happening to adjust to guests' needs. So news updates are needed as things happen.
There is a DAS return line for MFSR. I think it is the (currently unused) FP line. I have been told by plaids that right now only the Kiosk inside GE can issue a return time for this ride. So, during this "reservation only" period, DAS cannot get you into SWGE if you don't already have a reservation.

The FP queue is there. They just aren’t using it for anything other than DAS and rider switch right now.

I wonder if the kiosk will be outside of GE 6/24. Maybe they don’t want to confuse people thinking they can get in to ride using DAS without a reservation.
