The problem isn't the impact on FP at other attractions, the problem is the impact on walkways, length of lines for dining, shopping and Standby lines and lines for attractions without FP.I also think that adding the FP to MFSR allows Disneyland to lessen the impact of FP on other rides, since if you are holding on for MFSR you can't also be getting one for another attraction. If they manage the allocation correctly I don't think that you will see huge increases in the standby wait time. Essentially if they use 50% of the capacity for FP then wait times for standby would only run up to about 60-90 minutes.
We see Rey a lot on the Resistance side. Chewie is there too. Kylo Ren is often near his ship, and between that area and the marketplace part. Actually Kylo roams quite a bit so if you’re in the land for any amount of time you’ll probably see him. We’ve seen Vi Moradi outside the Droid Depot and in the marketplace. Storm troopers pretty much everywhere although I haven’t seen storm troopers on the Resistance side.Does anyone have tips on seeing/meeting the characters in SWGE? Is it just hit or miss or are there certain times of day when you're more likely to meet them. I understand characters like Rey and Kylo Ren have certain areas of SWGE that they hang out in. Just wondering about time of day.
thank you! So we'll just plan to spend some time browsing/roaming around in the area.We see Rey a lot on the Resistance side. Chewie is there too.

I would say it should be feasible. I went on opening day and there were at least 50 people who brought their lightsabers. Considering we were all there for the ride opening, I'm sure they all went on it with theirs.
ROTR has not meaningfully impacted wait times at other rides in the park including MFSR.How long have lines for this been recently? I'll be at Disneyland for a quick girls trip with my mom and sisters 2 weeks from Saturday, just for the day. With RoTR opening, has that made MFSR lines longer? Best time of day to ride? That would be awesome if FP was available for it before we get there.
Anyone else notice the app got a little update? Maybe its old news and I just noticed but it will not list the next available fast pass time for the ride under the name of the ride in the attractions list.

I don't think Disney will want to risk how negative of an impact this could have for the minimal benefits of adding FP. Not to mention that due to how the FP queue is configured, adding FP could cause some issues for guests that have sensory/crowd issues, right now it works as there aren't many people in the FP queue, but that queue could become quite crowded and loud.
Wait...Indy and Haunted Mansion (at times) do have Fastpass lines. Or are you saying you wish they didn't?Would FP for MFSR make my life easier... YES
However, MFSR should never get a Fastpass option at Disneyland. It doesn't really need it and when ROTR gets FP it will be nice to have one attraction in the land that doesn't have it.

Actually, the FP queue is extremely long and the materials used cause sound to echo much more than other FP queues.The FP queue isn't very long and it's separated from the other one entirely. Even if it were full, it wouldn't get loud and crazy, as it's single file. You simply walk up a ramp, make a u turn, up another ramp, and are immediately at the pre show rooms. It is similar to the Space Mtn fastpass line.
In general I like FP as well, but the FP queue for Smugglers Run is very poorly designed.Wait...Indy and Haunted Mansion (at times) do have Fastpass lines. Or are you saying you wish they didn't?
I am a big Fastpass user, so the more rides the merrier, and the shorter the lines I have to wait in. I was under the impression that adding Fastpass doesn't have a big impact on the Standby lines -- some, of course, but due to the timed return, not so much.

Okay, got it now. But what difference does it really make? You can still go standby in Indy, or Haunted Mansion, or Smuggler's Run if you want to. And if it doesn't make a huge difference in the standby wait then the impact is minimal, and the status of the other rides in the land is irrelevant. (And RotR might have Fastpass one day, too...)They were comparing having a ride with FP and one without in the same land. Not saying they don't have FP or that they wish they didn't have it.
Jungle Cruise and Indy are both in Adventure Land, only Indy has FP.
Pirates and HM are both in New Orleans, only HM has FP.
What they're saying is have ROTR with FP and MFSR without it so there's a ride with and a ride without in SWGE.
You also have the option to request one of the sit down tables. They warn you that this can cause a long wait, but when we went with grandma she needed to sit. We only waited about 5 minutes with a group of 6. Could be Much longer if they are very crowded, but it is an option...
