D23 EXPO 2019 Superthread - dates announced!

[BillFraser29]

It appears that the wait time for MFSR will peak at the beginning of the reservation period, and then taper off throughout each period. But yes, the rest of the lines are very low. It's going to be interesting to see the wait times after the reservation period and it's continuing impact of the rest of the attractions.

This is incredible!!! We hot first crack at the merch because we had reservations. Definetly organized and thorough in checking people in. It's amazing so far!!

 

[abnihon]

I hope the rest of the park stays dead this weekend because we arrive tomorrow!

I wonder if this pattern will continue past opening day (June 1, 2, 3... 23). As in shorter lines everywhere else, also the pattern for MFSR.

I think some of today's "dead" crowds around the rest of the park is probably due to not only SWGE, but also the vast number of people in line for opening day merchandise. Wait a week or so to see if this is a trend or a blip on the radar.

I'll be constantly checking! Hopefully some people on the boards will be posting updates on crowds in and around SWGE.

We go the 13th. 11am-3pm!

Falcon wait time down to 30 minutes. Definitely might be something to the idea of waiting until the initial rush to get in line later. We'll have to see if that holds up over time.

Does anyone remember what the next entry time was after the 8-12 slot? I remember that there were overlaps but don't remember it being every hour. I'm there next Thursday with an 8-12 and tempted to just enjoy early entry and an empty park to get a lot of other things done with little wait and maybe head in at 9 or so. I'm guessing you either want to be right at the front of the pack right at the start or else wait until the initial line rush has died down before the next group is admitted.

2PM - 6PM
5PM - 9PM
8PM - 12AM

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

He went through the mob waiting to get in this morning. He has been all over taking photos and meeting with guests.

 

[poppins2008]

Next time is 11-3.

Yep I can definitely see this trend holding up until Rise of the Resistance opens at least.

I think that those are the reservation slots.

We're thinking of waiting 30 minutes after our reservation starts to enter the land and hopping on the Falcon about 2 hours into our reservation period (after/before both overlaps)

 

[rteetz]

Falcon now down to a 30 minute wait

 

[BillFraser29]

It will be REALLY interesting to see wait times after the reservation period, especially if RotR is not open yet (which I suspect it wont be for a while). I can see 6-7 hour wait times, easy.

 

[dina444444]

Rode falcon. We are now in droid depot. Light saber is an hour wait to make an appointment.

Wow. Disney did a great job of keeping SWGE relatively lightly crowded during the reservation period!

How's the droid depot wait?

I read they were going to limit you to one ride on falcon. Is that the case or can you get back in line before your reservation time ends? Did they mark your wrist band or something?
