Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge Opening Day *August 29* Planning Thread

[Cheryl iLHARDT]

You can totally have a thread. The more information we can get out the better. ******* is like a free chat app people use like WhatsApp but without requiring a phone number to register, so far the chat is 15 members strong!

Can i join the *******?

"On thing to note is that if you have an Oga’s Cantina or Savi’s Workshop reservation, you will be allowed to enter the land one hour prior to your reservation regardless of the land status."
. It doesnt mention having a reservation for Droid Depot. Whi h is what we gave. Can we assume they just inadvertently left that out?

I would guess that’s also included.

Well, we were planning on the overnight campout, but my weeks of refreshing just landed me a reservation at Oga's for 4:55pm. Now I'm wondering if we can just wait until 3:55pm to enter instead, and still expect to ride MFSR without a 5 hour line at some point. My wife and I are literally sitting here looking at the reservation and saying... NOW what?

 

[Spazz2k]

One side of me wants to do the campout party, but my poor back tells me otherwise so maybe an impromptu Star Wars pool party at Coronado instead!! I do so love the atmosphere of pulling an all nighter for the opening, mind says yes..body says no! Ugh....

body says no to me too, but I am choosing to ignore it and then biofreezing it on Friday

How early are some people planning to get there? Is midnight looking like the first set of arrivals?

 

[yulilin3]

I'm getting there around midnight

 

[Whoguru5]

Same here booking a lyft from corando over to hollywood for midnight my first time doing a all nighters for a park event I'm looking forward to it

 

[ZiggyGod]

Is the latest of the version of the app out because I do not see that feature of the virtual queue on there yet.

For those of you looking to talk to other people arriving tonight around midnight or wanting an update on lines, queues and merchandise we have a ******* chat up and running. We are currently 29 members strong. We have guest arriving early as 11pm. This is a great way to get a play by play update as the night unfolds.

For those you not wanting to download an app there will be a new thread as well created by HHMcG on here providing the same update. Either choice will keep you up to date.

So what restrooms will be available? Looking at the map it looks like Disney took out the large ones that were on the left before you entered the park?

Is it true the restroom by the skyliner is tiny?

So for those of us who want to live thru you all going tomorrow, is this the thread to watch for reports?

there are actually now 2 restrooms. One is the old one by the outside window of guest relations and the other is the skyliner. I've been in that one once and I believe it has about 6 stalls.
The only negative is that both restrooms are outside of the security checkpoint

I'll report as much as I can on this thread here. I'll be live streaming as soon as the park opens, whatever time that might be but I will come here and update through out the day

Go Yuli! I can't check the thread on the plane but I'll be watching it from the airport

 

[Helvetica]

I hope people stay safe and dry tonight and have fun tomorrow. I hope it's not completely insane.

I'll be there in October.

I am ridiculously excited, especially since it seems I will be seeing some of the old SWW gang. It's like a star wars family reunion
