New SWGE Superthread! Now Open to All! (6/24/2019)

[fly girl]

Ok thanks! I’ll be there next week and will ask. If not there’s plenty of other things to try

Report back! I was wondering about that too. I did a double take when I saw the $75 next to the flight, then I read it came with the board. lol

They’re not just going to throw the whole summer back open for all the APs and make them all equivalent to Signature. No one is suggesting that.

But, you guys. They invested a TON in not just the land, but the new parking structure, the “project stardust” enhancements, etc. They completely reworked the AP system to block parks separately. They put in all those boards to show boarding group times. They expected massive crowds, and instead they’ve had the least crowded June in... a long time. I have no point of reference for the emptiness of the parks. I mean, they’ve got to be sweating bullets and in crisis mode about these attendance numbers.

They can’t let this keep going. And because they unblocked some passes last year (for limited days), I can absolutely see them doing that again. I actually think they kind of have to.

I also think the crowds are coming. They’re coming in the fall. When all the APs are back and all of the people who decided to “wait for the crowds to die down” all show up.

And goodness help us if ROTR opens.

Agree 100%

How is MFSR for short people and kids? My daughter is 4'10". If she's not a pilot, will it be lame for her? It's an annoying problem in many rides and changes the experience when you can only see the back of a seat.

I'm short and have been engineer and gunner, right and left. No problems seeing, no matter how much taller the person in front of me was. It is easy to see around the seat in front and you are distracted throughout the ride by your control panel lighting up and Hondo telling you which buttons to push. With multiple rides, your daughter should have no trouble seeing what is happening on the screen because she'll be looking up at different times.

Does anyone know when the Cantina switches the breakfast menu to the lounge menu? The drinks on the lounge menu interest me more than the drinks on the breakfast menu. Thanks.

So...other than you going on 10/9 & 10/10...is there another reason “everyone” is waiting until that time? Apologies if I’ve missed something obvious, but my “three-nager” had a Fantasmic meltdown tonight and I’m still packing cause I’ve wasted three days watching the ride times...

I’d also like to know what’s special about the 10/9 date. A few others have replied reasons like money, but I don’t understand what’s different on 10/9 versus, say, 10/7 saying that.

I have plans to visit Disneyland 10/5-10/9, but maybe I should consider scuttling it all together (though that would rule out Disneyland for years, most likely, if at all).

Nothing special - I was being silly - I'm actually expecting the crazyness to start once the APs are open, and all are open the days we are there. Only Signature and Signature Plus are open at the moment (Flex Pass is open for bookings). We have been there in late Septrember and early October and always found the October dates to be busier.

I wouldn't change plans based on one person's post. I thought it might have been more of the tongue in cheek "I'm going on 10/9 and 10/10 and with my luck so will EVERYONE else." You could always PM the original poster for clarification.

I think it is a joke, because those are the dates OP is actually going.

Yep exactly

The website says 10 am

We will be at Disneyland in 6 days, so this morning I was doing a test run on the Oga’s/Savi’s virtual queue and reservation system.

First I tested it on my phone via the Disneyland app, which routed me to the Disneyland website, told me to “sit tight” with a picture of the millennium falcon, then routed me to the Disneyland log in page, then prompted me to book, but June 30 was grayed out.

Second I tested it on my laptop, which routed me to the “sit tight” and would just stay there.

Now - my hunch is in the second scenario I was actually in the virtual queue, whereas in the first I was not.

Anyone have any advice or tips on this?

The reason this matters is because we will be in line for Disneyland this Saturday and I will have to use my phone to make reservations, but I fear I won’t actually be in the virtual queue.

Thanks!

Was it right at 7? It’s possibke you caught it before it opened officially. I can book using my phone. I am testing as well for tomorrow.

I was just able to test book on my iPhone. Try again.

During the reservation period the lounge menu was available all day and I haven’t heard anything different for now.

Does anyone know if a baby counts towards the amount of guests you can bring into Savi’s or Droid Depot?

It’s not super competitive. I booked this morning on my phone, but it didn’t actually open reservations until 7:01. All times were available.

They’re not too picky on the Droid guests. I’ve heard that if you’re wearing a baby, it doesn't count at Savi’s.

Never mind.

Can you ask just for the beer?

Yes. We were in the Cantina on the last day of SWGE Reservations and the CM Hostess stated we could order specialty item drinks without the “souvenir.” The $42 drink would only be $15.

It’s the same as Trader Sam’s - you can order a drink without the souvenir and it is priced for the drink-only.

We asked yesterday and they are not selling the beer flight on it's own right now. That could change though.

No I was using my phone at 6:30, when the virtual queue allegedly begins. I could not access the virtual queue at 6:30 through my phone, but could access it on my laptop.

However, right at 7 I used my phone and could have booked pretty much anytime, so I think it's all good. Thanks!

Interesting they would pass on the sale of pricey beer. Perhaps they hadn’t determined the price for beer-only.

I hate to sound like a fuddy duddy, but are their non-alcoholic drinks available at the cantina? I drink very occasionally, but my husband does not.

I believe about half the drinks on the menu are non-alcoholic

I think they hadn’t worked the pricing out based on the comment the CM made when we asked.
