DLR GE: VIP Tour?

[Nezumi Fan]

I’m hoping it will be treated like some other rides at DLR which don’t officially have FP but VIP tours still have expedited access to the ride. I can’t see how DLR could justify any significant price increase for VIP tours if SWGE WASN’T included! So I think the fact that they aren’t telling you the prices after June 1 is a good indicator that the VIP tours WILL include SWGE in some form (and the rides therein). I have done the VIP tour several times, and at an even higher price than currently charged, they would have to include SWGE and those rides for it to be worth it to me.

That’s good info, thank you so much!

My question at the moment...

So on-property guests are guaranteed a “reservation” window to enter GE;​

Let’s say you stay at the Disneyland Hotel three nights with your family;​

Do you and your family, as a perk for paying $500+ a night, get to visit GE three times over the course of your three-night stay, or just the one?​

But will this be before or after the actual “opening”?

After. They’re saying now “prices may be adjusted,” which surely is Disney speak for a significant price increase.

I don't know if it is absolute in the wording, but my interpretation has been one entry for length of stay.

In which case...perhaps a one-night stay on the 30th-31st, visit GE on Opening Day, then switch to a cheaper hotel to put that “extra" money toward a VIP tour on June 1 or whenever?

I have also done VIP Tours, and agree some access to SWGE will likely be included.

Peter Pan recently added VIP Tour access, but the Tour Guide must call ahead for a time slot -- this avoids having a line of VIP Tour groups which might slow down the normal line.

Yup. Staying on-property guarantees a “reservation” to visit GE.

Entering the land is bare minimum - one may still have to wait hours for the ride since no FP is being provided.

You’re right. Still, it would be more than having no time in which to enter Galaxy’s Edge at all.

I also don't see how they raise the price and not include SWGE. I know I was planning for our trip in Oct to seriously splurge on a VIP tour specifically for SWGE so long as the benefits of the tour extend to SWGE.
