D23 EXPO 2019 Superthread - dates announced!

So are they actually kicking people out of GE's now who had the 8-12 time slot?

They don't allow you into the droid building, Savi's or Falcon after your experience but they aren't pushing you out either.

They’re special maps printed on heavy paper with shiny sections. I can see why they want to keep people from grabbing a handful.

Ah. Didn't know this. Thanks for the clarification. A few people have asked me to send them park maps, which is something I do often. I didn't realize that there were special maps today. Yes, those should absolutely be limited.

Yup. We didn’t get pushed out but were ready to leave by 12:30. Now at launch bay in line for merch.

Hi I have a question regarding Gold Family account.

The back of the card says it expires on 08/2019, but the website says it expires on 09/01/2019. Will I have trouble at the convention using it? Should I contact d23 membership services about this?

Really interesting how GE is impacting the rest of the DLR.... in a positive way. It makes sense but for some reason I just never thought about how everyone visiting for GE would make wait times for everything else drop so drastically. I'm going tomorrow without a reservation to GE (mine is June 10th) and I hope it stays like this

Thanks for the info. I will be the only one going, so the tickets aren't for a 2nd or 3rd person. I just had to buy 3 individual 1-day tickets since the 3-day package was sold out. It seems kind of silly that gold members can't get the benefit for each day they buy for themselves.

I would add, Sunday is usually the lightest attendance day, so might not be too bad if it is not a Gold Member ticket for that day. But you might want to consider reaching out to D23 to see about why you couldn’t buy the three single day Gold tickets, to see if they might be able to help, since the 3day passes were sold out.

I think it will be like this until June 23. June 24 is when all bets are off with crowds.

Also people visiting the DLR for the first time must be absolutely loving it. If you use MaxPass you can basically go from any ride you want to another and basically have it be a walk on. Incredible!

I am still not going to believe that post June 24 crowds are going to be apocalyptic (yet). I remember some saying the park would be crushed today with people showing up thinking they could get into GE. That didn't happen.

...thanks for sharing!

Yeah, I sort of look at this time period as something like "AP Preview" periods they've had when new things opened. This is no indication at all of how business as usual will be.

Hey, quick question for anyone who's been to Toydarian Toystore…how much are the plush dolls (especially interested in the Chewy and Leia dolls) being sold for? I'm buying a Disney gift card for my trip in October, and want to know roughly how much $ to allocate for them

If it were me, I would mostly enjoy my experience to the fullest without actually taking the time to post my pics, especially if there are other things to do in the park after the SWGE reservation is over. I presume they probably will after a while.

Now, here is a question about characters in SWGE and those in Launch Bay. Who is available for meet/greet in launch Bay? I had thought that they wouldn't have a character in 2 close by places simultaneously.
