In case anyone over here on this thread didn’t see this.... I’m so so so excited!

Soooo excited!! First DL trip, and no overlay at WDW, we were bummed when we thought it would be gone when we arrive.

I don't think it will have a huge impact.

It's just unfortunate that people couldn't figure out the very easy website the first time to allow them to get an accurate count. I guarantee there will be people showing up with more people than on their reservation, and Disney will bend to the complaining Guest.

I’m even more excited now! I’m especially excited about how many specialty drinks they are going to have. I’m not even talking about the alcoholic ones as I don’t drink.

I was one of those people that experienced the glitch while using my phone and it actually skipped the first page where you add people and went straight to the page where the date and available times were listed. This had nothing to do with how easy the system was or not being able to figure it out it had to do with the first page not coming up at all. We have two separate Disney accounts and by the time I was able to get in on my second Disney account the date and times I needed were gone. So I was unable to get a reservation for 5 of our group and my husband is the only one in our group with a reservation. That being said we will not be there begging to get in we actually made a reservation for one night in a Disney Hotel for the 5 of us that didn't get a free reservation. We were able to get the same date/time my husband already had.

Yeah didn’t show for me to add guest either, I figured it was on the next screen but that was just a confirmation page that said I was done and couldn’t modify. I just decided to postpone my trip. So I feel your pain here.

Me too!

Apparently the blue and green milk is a mix of rice milk and coconut milk... I’m going to have to get both

Sounds absolutely delicious! Wonder if they have an option to spike it? That's be great.

And I’m just glad they’re going to have mobile ordering for almost everything!

The Cantina serves Bloody Marys; I’m excited. https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/b...galaxys-edge/?CMP=SOC-DPFY19Q3wo050920190004G

The drink menu is really interesting! Wish they had some kind of champagne cocktail though...

 

[PandoraPreview]

I know there are plant-based items, but I'm excited to see what on the menu is truly vegan.

Asked a Hospitality CM tonight about DAS and SWGE. She said the latest news is what we already know: there will be DAS for MFSR, but no one has any idea (still?!) how this will work. She thinks it may involve the currently unused FP line, but there has been no news from management. Also, she said there will be no kiosk inside SWGE, so the nearest kiosks to entrances/exits will be by HM or by Dumbo. She doesn't know if a return time would have to be requested before getting in the reservation entrance line for the land or if there will be CMs with handheld scanners at the ride line. She said to keep asking...only 3 weeks to go! If anyone else gets an update on this, please post!

I would HAVE to think that there must be at least something in the land (hand held scanner at the rise line). Obviously, this is how they do EVERY ride at WDW, so it would be nothing major to implement, but those with an 8 am reservation would have to (potentially fairly significantly) cut into their reservation in order to go somewhere else before entering.

Just looking for a bit of advice, totally unfamiliar with all Disneyland planning and will be there july 9th to 14th! We are staying at the Disneyland Hotel so will have early access to both parks and have bought maxpass with tickets.

The first morning we are there is a DCA early entry day but current situation looks like we would have to be in Disneyland Park to book a boarding pass for Galaxys Edge so I am thinking that if we take advantage of the time at DCA we are unlikely to get near Galaxys Edge that day. Would it be better to skip DCA that day and try for boarding pass instead or go to DCA and wait til the next day which is early entry at Disneyland to try for boarding pass

I am trying to book some dining reservations this week as we are 60 days out and cant decide on best plan so was hoping to hear opinions of those more familiar with the parks!

I asked specifically about this, but the CM did not have an answer yet. She said that they have not been told anything in spite of all their own questions. So they are basing their best guesses on their personal experiences in other Disney parks and on what seems to make the most sense.

 

[Original]

I don’t think any details have been announced for “boarding passes” past June 23. It’s still entirely unclear how access will be obtained.

 

[amyg1975]

You will do it like you would book a MaxPass through your phone. Once the land is ready to take the next group, you will get a notification. https://wdwnt.com/2019/05/star-wars...al-queue-starting-june-24th-details-revealed/

For anyone who wants to revisit Star Wars films or for those who have never seen the Star wars films, I have started writing up each film. I know some people dont like watching Episodes 1 to 3 first as they contain spoilers for The Empire Strikes Back. I have hidden certain parts in spoiler sections, but dont worry I have written it so that the story still makes sense with the spoilers hidden. https://www.disboards.com/threads/s...-wars-galaxys-edge-contains-spoilers.3748319/

My watch order

1. Star Wars: Episode I – A Phantom Menace
2. Star Wars: Episode II –Attack of the Clones
3. Star Wars: Episode III –Revenge of the Sith
4. Solo: A Star Wars Story
5. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
6. Star Wars: Episode IV –A New Hope
7. Star Wars: Episode V –The Empire Strikes Back
8. Star Wars: Episode VI –Return of the Jedi
9. Star Wars: Episode VII –The Force Awakens
10. Star Wars: Episode VIII –The Last Jedi

 

[BadPinkTink]

Sorry, this is just so frustrating to see this reaction. Disneyland Space Mountain with no overlay is one of the greatest rides / soundtrack combinations in the world. WDW's doesn't compare. I'm sick and tired of traveling to DL and never getting to ride the original.

I'm sort of with you. I don't get the love for the Hyperspace theme. I mean, I don't hate it, but it doesn't give me goosebumps or anything crazy like that.
