Why??? What purpose can this possibly serve and HOW is it going to help crowds?

Makes them choose and spreads them out a bit more. Also opens the opportunity to get those FPs as a 4th FP.

So they want to force people to go to the shows as crowd eaters?

Yep. Just like the force them on lesser attractions in the other parks.

Exactly. They want the crowds to spread as much as possible once SWGE opens.

Ugggghhhh that is VEXING. So the only way to get on a Star Wars ride will be to sacrifice a TT or RR fastpass.

...welp...

SWGE is opening without FP so you wouldn’t be able to FP that anyways.

Is it?

Ah, well. Looks like I won't be doing Smuggler's Run after all, then.

Why wouldn't you? If no one has a FP the line will actually move.

This is horrible. I've seen the shows at HS, and I have no desire to see them again. I'm basically going to be using one fast pass at HS, and then refreshing my phone for the rest.

Well this sucks, now instead of getting SDD, TOT and RnR, we can only get 1 and 2 shows I would only watch when its raining? Thanks Disney! Praying everyone heads to SWGE, since I could care less about that land. Could anyone see any positives in this?

Yup. Absolutely nothing of worth in tier B (we occasionally do Muppets, but you don't need a FP for that at all).

It’s about spreading the crowds. No it’s not a great thing for most guests but that also doesn’t mean you won’t be able to do anything. This opens up the possibility to get one of these at a 4th FP.

@rteetz have you heard anything concrete regarding Star Tours FP status? I read on the TP blog that as of right now CL guests weren't able to book it.

If I was staying on site during this period and not interested in GE, I'd bang out all the non GE stuff during extended EMH and then hop somewhere else.

Would I have to book all 3 or can I just book one for SDD and keep refreshing the day of for TOT or RnR? Or does Disney make you book 3 first? I have no desire to book 2 for shows you can pretty much walk on to at all times lol

I haven’t seen/heard something definitive.

You can just book one if you want.

You'd have to tap into your throwaway FPs, much like you do at Epcot right now.

Thanks, just going to book 1 and keep refreshing for the others. Hopefully it works out.
