So excited for those who get to visit Batuu today! Our reservation is tomorrow 2-6pm!

The merch line moves slowly, but it's moving! We're at the top of the ramp and the left side of the line is in front of me:

I’m dying to know what the crowd inside feels like. How many people are they letting in for each time block. Is it crammed? We go Wednesday!

D'oh! Signing out now as I don't wanna see any pics of the land until we see it in person tomorrow.

It is almost 8:30 and the wait time is still only 20 minutes at Peter Pan, lol. Only on Galaxy Edge opening day.

Did anyone use DAS today? If so, what was the protocol and how did it go?

 

[Vysecity]

Hyper Space Mountain is 10 minutes at 8:30am...nice. thinking rest of park will be empty until people from 1st group start heading out of SWGE

 

[StarSpeckledSky]

How are the crowds right now in and out of SWGE?'

EDIT: specific questions:
1) How's the single rider line for the Falcon looking? Is the wait short-ish?
2) if you rope dropped something outside of SWGE today, how was the wait?
3) Are crowds in general inside SWGE bad? Or did Disney do a good job of keeping reservation numbers decent?

 

[DizneyMommy]

Watching the posted wait times from the app, it went from 60 to 90 and back down to 60 in the first 40 minutes. I don’t know how accurate that is but that is impressively short!

I love the photo pass cards!

They are handling it well it seems, but this is just opening reservation day.... can you imagine june 24th and everyday after??? idk what kinda chaos will go down those days.. it will be 5x as worse. Disney won't be ready for it... and the land will suck with so many people in it... capacity will be reached by noon that day or sooner. Cant wait to see all the insaneness.

Your optimism is overwhelming.

I haven’t made it past Main Street, but the park is DEAD so far.

 

[FSUSammy]

People that I are following via Instagram are saying there is.

That's wonderful news!

You know, I had this thought that everyone else is going to avoid the park like the plague so it would be a great day to go. Should’ve run with that idea!

Also looks like Josh Damaro is in SWGE. I'm following a live stream (mrcheezypop) and he just met him!
