Now that we have to have reservations to get in, our plan of “winging” our last couple days of vacation to do what we missed is gone. We used to view HS as a one-day Park but for those that have gone recently (especially with Galaxys Edge open) do you recommend two days? Especially for two adults?
 
I think HS can still be covered in a day, especially now that they aren't doing the shows. It could be a two-day visit if you want to take in every last detail of GE. I can easily spend half a day in GE, but I'm also a SW fan.
 
We would do at least 2 HS days now. Not knowing how the lines will actually be and how quickly/slowly they will be moving, it's impossible to really know how many days you will need. With pre-Covid crowds, 2 days would have been a minimum for us. Possibly 3. Note that we are a huge SW family so GE would be a huge part of our visit.
 
I can do all of HS in a day, but I prefer two now so I can go back and do it all again. The only ride I haven't done now is MMRR so of course I had to book plenty of time to go and do that, plus TSL, GE, and the more "classic" attractions there (I don't do the shows). It also helps if you can't ride something because it's broken down, gives you a chance to go back just in case.
 

We're two adults and we're only planning one day but I did reserve a second day just in case.

This is what I would do. I think with basically all the shows closed you could do all 9 rides in 10 hours with restricted attendance, but until the parks open and we see the lines, it’s hard to know for sure. If you have to pull a day from another park to do it, Epcot seems to be booking up slowest, and is most likely to have availability week of (although of course there are no guarantees).
 
We have 8 day tickets and are doing 3 days at HS, 3 at MK, 1 at Epcot and 1 at AK. We don't like to rush and spend all day every day at the parks.
 
We are two adults and most definitely do two days at DHS. We last visited in October 2019. Toy Story Land and Galaxy's Edge are still popular with a lot to see and long-ish waits for the attractions there. RnRC, TOT, and Runaway Railway will get long waits. We also like to eat 1-2 TS meals there because we think DHS has much better TS meals than QS meals. Also like to spend time at Oga's Cantina. Shows won't be running for the foreseeable future which saves some time, but given that FP+ won't be an option and no one knows yet how good/bad standby times would be, then I would definitely plan a second day at DHS. Right now with the limited operations and construction, I would choose a second day at DHS before a second day at Epcot, and Epcot is our favorite park.
 
We have 5 days and have not done any of the SW rides and obviously Runaway Railway yet (we missed Galaxy's Edge opening by 1 week last year). We only planned 1 day at each park and 2 at MK for early August. With no shows or other "time killers" at DHS to get in A/C, we don't feel it warrants 2 days in the heat. We have done ToT and RnC so many times, that if we have to skip those or Slinky Dog or TSM, so be it. I still think we will get it all done in a limited capacity setting but we will prioritize the Star Wars rides and Runaway Railroad first.

We are doing 3 days there. It's my favorite park and we want to be sure we get to ride Rise of The Resistance more than once.
 
6 days: 2 at EPCOT, 2 at DHS, and 1 each at AK and MK. Two adults (actually, Senior Citizens, but Kids at Heart!)
 
It depends how long you are staying and how crowded it is.
Yo might be able to do all of it in 1 day as there are no shows or fireworks.
However, I would like the option to ride the newer attractions more than once, so I would opt for 2 days.
 
Thanks everyone!! So helpful! We’re going to add a second day just to be safe. Especially since that most likely will be the park that fills up first.
 
We typically only do one full (broken up in two half days), but with no FP and we haven’t been since they opened Galaxy’s Edge we are doing 2 days this trip. We like all of the rides (except Alien Swirl) and want to make sure we get a chance to ride both Star Wars rides and MMRR.
 
We are doing two HS days in August, just to be on the safe side and get on everything that is new to us. Our last visit was two years ago and we only got to ride Alien Swirling Saucers, so we are looking forward to SDD and all of GE.
