DHS- Streets of America closed August???

[Lcar6709]

Just tried to book my FP+ for dates in last weeks of August (19th-29th) but The Great Movie Ride was blocked out as closed and some comment about Streets of America being closed for that block period making some references to being used for Star Wars related purposes (mentioned characters, Ewocs etc)
Does anyone know anything about this, I can't find any reference to it on any closure lists.

And this comment and references were where?

I received the same "thing" when I tried to book my FPs on Saturday am 12:00 am). The FPs listed streets of America and then Star Wars stuff which I just glanced at (not a Star Wars fan in our group)- but noticed we could not book Great movie ride- showed up with a circle with a line thru it. Anyone know why?

Star wars weekends just ended so maybe Disney needs to fix site. Only other thing I can think of is they are putting up Osborne lights.

What you're seeing on the FP selections is just left over Star Wars weekend stuff that hasn't been taken off the site/app yet. The street is open as usual.

As far as great movie ride, could be down during your trip time for refurbishments (or just a glitch right now). Only thing I can think of. I made FP's for this weekend and it's open now.

Just to check, you do know the Great Movie Ride has been moved up to Tier 1 now?

If you were booking TSMM or RnRC or Fantasmic, then you wouldn't be able to book GMR as well.

I think it was an option when I booked mine (our trip is 18th-25th August) but we wanted TSMM instead

Tier 1?? Why?
I mean I could probably guess the reason but it seems a bit ridiculous.

Tier 1?? Why?

They need more "seats" in Tier 1 for guests who do not want a FP+ for "thrill rides."

2 words - high capacity. A higher capacity ride was needed for Tier 1.

Thanks for your replies. It sounds, as you said, like a left over thing from Star Wars event. Managed to FP it for later in the trip so maybe it's just down on the day we originally wanted it. I've done a re-jig of the schedule and it's all ok now, thanks.
