Was wondering if Epcot would have lower crowds that Thursday that Galaxy Edge opens. Thinking everyone might be at the Studios?
We're not staying on property so we can't take advantage of the early entry MK and AK will have. We feel Epcot is our only choice for that day. Thinking this park will have the lowest crowdsThursday the 29th is also the opening day for the EPCOT Food & Wine festival so I think that will attract a fair number of people - particularly any “locked out” of Galaxy’s Edge who choose to walk/boat/gondola over. I’m no crowd science expert - and EPCOT does absorb crowds very well - but I think if looking to avoid crowds I’d hit AK or MK.
F&W is awesome. I’m sure you’ll have a great time. Enjoy!We're not staying on property so we can't take advantage of the early entry MK and AK will have. We feel Epcot is our only choice for that day. Thinking this park will have the lowest crowds
Epcot will most definitely be the second busiest park that day due to food and wine. The opening of F&W is a mad house. I’m sure a lot of the Disney bloggers/news sites will send some staff to F&W esp if they go to media previews of GE before it actually opens to the public. And assuming you will not be allowed to spend all day in GE at first like they are doing at Disneyland there will definitely be a lot of crossover during the day between the parks since they are a boat ride or walk away.We're not staying on property so we can't take advantage of the early entry MK and AK will have.

It looks like Epcot also has extra magic hours that Thursday.
If people can't get into SW:GE, I would expect them to be at Epcot because of the opening of Food & Wine. I've always heard it's overrun, if only because bloggers/vloggers etc want to be there so they can share stuff about the Festival. I also would suggest doing AK, even if you don't have EMH.We're not staying on property so we can't take advantage of the early entry MK and AK will have.
