A question I have been mulling over, so please add your thoughts: Will SWGE be more crowded during the reservation period or in the months that follow (say this October, for example)? On the one hand, I think maybe the reservation period will be less crazy because they are limiting it to some absolute number. They have said they are not allowing walk-ups, so the number is the number. They clearly anticipate the land hitting capacity pretty immediately on the regular non-reservation days, for a long period of weeks to months (or longer) after SWGE opens, since they have set up the whole virtual queue system. I don't think they would have gone to this trouble/expense if they thought it would only hit land capacity for the first few days (like Toy Story Land did at WDW for the first day or so; there they just had a line and you waited for people to leave and until the land fell back under capacity, and they let a few more people into the land). I guess my concern is: Is Disney filling the land to capacity at all times during the reservation period (or even over capacity, if some people from earlier time slots don't leave on time, (and they have said they will not strictly enforce other than getting in line for the ride or shop/CS)), such that it will be worse than the post-reservation period (where the capacity will be a fixed number in/out)??
We have a reservation, but I don't know if we are going to use it if the number of people with reservations is so high that the land is over capacity during this time (and you know folks will stay as long as they can before getting kicked out). Maybe it is just better to wait...
