Interesting that there will be no fastpass available for smugglers run when it first opens

Does this mean there will be an increase in upcharge events?

I think it just means crowd control. I think it's a smart move to make for the opening.

Yeah if they had FPs they'd have to manage capacity and deal with FP admissions.

Rise of the Resistance will open the same way

@rteetz any rumors as to how DHS will handle admission to GE? First come first served? Timed entry? Storm troopers kicking people out to make room?

Nothing yet. The DHS fine print notes a hotel reservation is not required and that capacity is limited so that would lead me to believe first come first served.

I really wish they would do reservations like DL. I’d rather not get in and know I can’t get in ahead of time than be part of a mob trying and still maybe not get in.

Don't know how to correct the title. Fingers working faster than brain.

It makes sense. Everyone is in just one line.
Wonder how much EMM tickets will increase in cost? Or will they just sell alot more of them?
Haven't done an EMM yet, but always read that they are not crowded.
If 1 or eventually both, Star Wars attractions are open for EMM, I can see the demand really increase.

Yes! It could be similar to MaxPass at DL or the virtual line queue Universal uses. That would allow everyone to know that they did or didn't get in that day and when to return. Beats an 8 hour line!

I could see them doing dedicated TSL EMM and dedicated GE EMM, especially once both rides are open.

I also wish that WDW would mirror what DL is doing re: reservations. Oh well. Does anyone remember if "Flight of Passage" opened without utilizing FP? If so, how long until they started utilizing FP?

From what I've seen on other threads it did have FP on day one

I don't think there will even be EMM for quite a while. They'll probably have 7am EMH for months.

Which would mean people lining up at 4 or 5?

 

[guerns17]

I would love a virtual line...or some way to sign up to go in and get a set time to enter.

POST #5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry the for the all caps....but you guys here are SUPER funny!!!!! I come just to read the posts. I have NO interest in HS anymore, so the opening of SWGE isn't on my radar. I came to see how the DISers were handling the opening sooner than Disney said. SO glad I did!

 

[DCLPrincess]

Do you think no FP will make the stand by line longer or shorter? If I can't get FP, I wouldn't wait in a 3 hr line. Maybe they are hoping that others feel that way too so it will keep the line under a 6 hr wait.

 

[toonaspie]

I will tell you from my experience with trying to ride FOP that EMH won't be all that effective in the crowd control department for this ride. You will still be waiting as long as you would in a standby line.

A EMM/DAH with this in it COULD still work...if demand is still high for Toy Story Land and Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway will be set to open around the same time. Combine them all with GE and the crowds might get spread out a bit.

Definitely not speaking for myself but if I had to guess I’d say it’ll be a lot earlier than 4 or 5am in the beginning.
