DHS closes at 8pm; Oga's at 8:50pm

[Lee from WV]

We are two weeks out from our trip and I am tweaking our touring plans. I grabbed an Oga's a few weeks ago for 8:50 when the hours changed. The Touring Plans app won't let me add into the plans because it is after park hours. I guess the plan should be to get in a line for a ride right at 8 and then head to Oga's? Is there any chance park hours change again the week of July 5-9 or are they generally set two weeks out?

Park hours may change, but no worries. We went in May with an 8pm closing and an 8:40 reservation at Oga's. Wandered over about 8 and checked in, waited outside for 15 minutes or so and got called in.

They might change but enjoy it! You will come out to a practically empty Star Wars land. Leave very slowly and enjoy the sites. Before your reservation the land will also start to empty out. We used that time to grab dinner at docking bay 7 right at closing time and ate peacefully before drinks at Ogas. It’s a great time to just enjoy the land without a lot of people.

That was our last trip. Loved walking out and seeing all of Galaxies Edge lit up and no crowds anywhere. A very slow walk out.

Sounds like a potential strategy for our next trip!

Same! We leave in two weeks and snagged our Oga's ADRs probably the same time you did. I have an 8:55 pm one for our last night! Woot! I will echo what others have said, it is magical leaving Oga's with an empty park! It feels like you are really leaving the Cantina whilst on a different planet!

It sounds like a nice way to wind down a day at DHS and a quite walk out of the park.

I'm putting this one in my pocket. DH would love, love, love that. Thanks for the inspiration! He normally walks my legs off, but I bet I'll have to drag him through GE if it's empty!

I snagged an 8:30PM reservation without realizing that it was a half hour after park close. Turns out it was the coolest part of my trip!

Enjoy it!! As a previous poster said, walk slowly on your way out. It was so cool to to be in the park without anyone else around. Totally unique!

This seems as good a time as any to share this picture I got that night, which I've since made my phone's lock screen lol
