So since WDW doesn’t have a reservation system in place for Galaxy Edge, and a 6am opening on August 29th to the general public, the question has been “what is Disney’s plan to handle the crowds and lines?” I’ve been asking almost daily on what the plan is, and do they even have one. I finally got an answer of sorts... not definitive but a least 2 plans HS is reviewing.
Plan 1, is to have guests line up in a queue that weaves through the park.
I laughed when I was told this one. It seems such a haphazard approach at such a small park. I don’t see them doing this.
Plan 2, is to make the Fantasmic theatre a queue area for the masses. I laughed at this one too but, the more I think about it, the more it makes sense. It will free up the rest of the park for others to enjoy, and it will be easier to track the numbers of people waiting to get in. That way Disney will be able to have an entry cut off. The only issue I see is the transfer of the people over to Galaxy Edge.
So it seems they’re finally coming to terms with the onslaught of guests. I think they’re a little behind but it’s something at least. Still no word on when they will allow people to line up outside the gate. The only answer I got was “no tents will be allowed!”
