D23 EXPO 2019 Superthread - dates announced!

We have an 8am party of two. Could it possibly work out to have one person head straight to Savi's and another straight to Oga's and be able to have the Savi's person get a reservation and then meet the Oga's person to get a drink? I was hoping to do both, but it's sounding unlikely...

It might be possible, but you’d have to get lucky with a Savi time that worked out around your cantina time. Service inside was pretty slow, and you wouldn’t want to order and then not have time to eat/drink whatever you got...

There were people in the Oga’s line who were joined by others, so I wouldn’t say no for sure... but I wouldn’t bank on it working.

It has been reported on another board that there is now an Information Kiosk inside SWGE where you go to request a DAS for MFSR. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Also, is Ogas the only place in DLP where alcohol is served?

Yes, Oga’s is the only place in Disneyland the general public can access that serves alcohol* and it must be consumed inside/before leaving the Cantina. Alcohol is much more available in DCA and you can walk around the park with it there.

*Alcohol is served at Club 33 and the exclu$$ive 21 Royal Street, both in New Orleans square, but your average guest does not have access to these locations.

Barely just got home...

Few thoughts:

- Hate that I had to wait 45 min to get into Oga's. It will be like this or longer once the reservation system is gone, or it will be mayhem in there. But I can see why, as I think this is already the coolest part of Disneyland, by far. The atmosphere, music, drinks, it was poppin inside at night. I think it would be fun to go there on a Fri/Sat nite with friends and drink it up. I can see the younger crowd making this their hot spot at the park to go to. I actually think they should pump the music louder to give it an even more wild vibe to it, but it's fine. Can't wait till I try more drinks. I just don't know when that will be trying to contend with those crowds. As mentioned in other posts, they need another bar just like that on the other side of the land. One bar can't handle small reservation crowds, so not sure what they expect after the 23rd.

- MFSR was def cool. I don't know if its cuz its so new to me but I thought it was better than FOP at Animal Kingdom, but I'll have to sleep on that and see. First time was amazing, as we were all new riders... we were screaming, yelling, laughing, havin fun as the ship crashed all over the place. Button mashing is all you do, really. Think Star Tours but you get to push buttons. I'll have to go on it more times to really get a hang of what we're actually doing. The queue in this place is the best of the DLR. WDW has a ton of great queues, but now DLR has a great one finally! That being said, idk if this is the best ride disney has put out... its def up there...

- I get other reviewers that feel the land feels half empty without the Resistance ride open. That whole area of the land feels very empty, and i cant wait to see Disney's most anticipated ride ever debut. Thankfully Chewy is out walking around and is a blast to interact with.

I have a question about costumes: It always seemed strange to me to sell adult Jedi robes, tunics, etc, right there in the park if adults are not allowed in costume. Has anyone seen anyone trying to wear their new purchases? I would be very tempted to yank on a tunic just before I got to the front of a Photopass line.
Or are you OK looking like you could be from the SW universe as long as you don't look like a specific known character? People have mentioned Disney Bounding for the land, but without a photo, it's hard to know just how in-universe they might look.
I loved how anyone can wear Hogwarts robes at WWHP, since no employee wears those.

 

[abnihon]

Just arrived yesterday for our first DL trip ever and yes crowds were amazing! I think this will be a great first trip
Picked up merch at Launch Bay and not too crowded. Got a shirt for my son, light up lanyard and a bunch of pins including the limited releases and one with the date.
They sold the robot Porgs there. Can anyone confirm if they are the same ones sold at SWGE creature stall? CM said they were but wanted to check. Still would seem more “special” to buy in SWGE if line isn’t bad!



New map at front!

We are considering booking next weekend at GCH to get a Rez into galaxy edge

How have the lines been at the Driod building? Do we have to go there 1st thing or can we do Cantina than Driod building?

After a third morning of googling through several blogs and articles falsely claiming to list prices for droid parts, I'm asking again for any information. Blasters? Personality chips? One blog said a properly outfitted droid would be more like "$200-300." Sound accurate? All I know now is $40 backpack, $100 basic build.
Color question: one Instagram account showed a BB unit that was definitely in the bright pink-purple color family. I haven't seen that color in any other photos, though. Anything in that color range that will make my DD want her own, separate from a family unit?

Personality chips are in the $15 range. If you want all kinds of extra accessories then I can see where they got the $200-300 range but you can get a complete working droid for $100. The backpacks aren’t even really necessary as they give you a cardboard carry case. They do have a BB unit that has either purple/pink on it

Is there a chicken exit on the Falcon ride? My wife gets motion sick but wants to see the queue.

I will ask for you today if nobody else can help. If it does help, my husband gets super motion sickness but was absolutely fine and didn’t feel bad at all on SR which is rare.

I was wondering about this today too. I also get motion sickness and don't usually do simulator rides like most of the ones at Universal.
I only did Star Tours once years ago and never again.

I believe there is, but I think it’s before the room with the chess room. I saw someone get escorted yesterday that wasn’t riding.

What do you think are the chances that Disney puts a FastPass system into place for Oga’s, Savi’s, ROTR when it opens, and possibly Droid Depot if it also is becoming overrun, even if they don’t call it “FastPass”? I mean, the virtual queue to get into SWGE is essentially FastPass without a specific return time. If they put a virtual queue in place for the others and only allowed you to get in line for 1 or 2 in a specific time frame, it might definitely impact guest satisfaction but would also spread the crowds out... me thinks? As for people lingering in Oga’s, I’d think they could either give you physical “credits” or electronic “credits” on your ticket that only entitle you to two drinks, at least for the first few years until the crazy dies down and/or they can get a second cantina built.

We aren’t going until next March and DH is dying to do the cantina. Meanwhile I’ve got a kid that is already talking about his red R2 unit, and everyone wants to do Smugglers Run. Sigh! I’m too impatient and want to know how this is all going to shake out now! Lol.

Thanks to everyone returning trip reports. The excitement in the EmJ household is up exponentially this weekend!

 

[rteetz]

Is there any chance of building any other similar ones? Harry Potter made this mistake with narrow alleys, Ollivanders, and a few other things, but they got a second chance with Diagon Alley. Maybe Disney will get a chance to fix some of the crowding issues later?

Also, is Ogas the only place in DLP where alcohol is served?

I think the biggest fix is building the originally planned Table service restaurant.

 

[rteetz]

Has anyone ordered two yub nub drinks? I was planning to and it just occurred to me it might be a limit of one. Anyone know?

I don’t see why. Reportedly there is a limit of two drinks per person or visit but they haven’t really enforced much of that.

 

[DisneyJamieCA]

Now that we’re a few days past opening day, does anybody know what time the Toy Story buses are running? We’re staying offsite and have 8am reservations.

 

[Bryce_n]

Does anyone know the prices for the accessories for droid depot? Specifically the r-series serving tray

 

[midnight star]

I’m coming out of hiding and going to the park lol. These crowds are too awesome to pass up. I was one of the people avoiding until I knew how crowds were. Well, they’re good, so off I go! I’ll be there in an hour!

UPDATE: I put this on another thread, but I entered the gates at 5 pm yesterday, and did 11 rides in 4 hours. Fastpasses were instant return times. Farthest one out was Soarin, which one was only an hour away. Literally walked onto Pirates, Matterhorn, Ariel, Goofy, Silly Swings, and Haunted Mansiom. Longest wait was the swinging gondola which was about 10 minutes. Cars had a posted wait of 65 minutes, but the line looked more like 30 minutes ( I did single rider). It was awesome!!! Walked into Flo’s with no wait and was the only one eating inside in one of the rooms. Great night!!
