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

I am in the same boat as you are, I am worried about being sick for the rest of the day but I don't want to miss out either...

I have never done Mission Space because or Star Tours because I did't want to be sick. Flight of passage made me ill.. hmmm I might be taking the chicken exit too..

I tend to get motion sickness too. But it wasn't too bad, and I think it was because I was one of the pilots, if you seat on the engineer seat you will be fine!

See, we got in at 9am during the reservation period and it was PACKED, unpleasantly so. Yesterday during our 4:30 reservation, it was not packed at all. I’m sure it has to do with how long people stay and if people no-show and whatever now that there are set reservations... there were a lot of people with kids yesterday (including me) that probably didn’t stay for a 2nd drink, which may have been the difference.

I go back for an 8:30 reservation tonight with just adults, so I’ll report back!View attachment 412493

Definitely do. We were the first group admitted so that might explain the difference. Nothing like drinking at 8 am, LOL.

...How swiftly does the Falcon attraction rocket up in wait times in the early morning (first 30 min to an hour)? I would like to know if it would be possible to hit the attraction at rope drop and then get off and get back in line without too much of an insane wait... or is it just better to ride once early and then wait until later in the day/evening when it drops to approx 30 minutes and under to go get your re-rides in??

If you watch the wait time on the DLR app rope drop and early morning have been the worst times of day to the ride as far as wait times go.

Agreed!

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’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).

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

Yes there are quite a few non-alcoholic options and several of them are still pretty fun-such as the Carbon Freeze which smokes and bubbles from some dry ice, the Blue Bantha which is blue milk with a cookie sort of thing on top and the Cliff Dweller which comes in a souvenir mug (and is priced accordingly). They also just have regular soda etc.

Thank you!

I figured there must be, but always like to confirm these things.

Meant to include the menu link in my original post so you can peruse the offerings as well

We did get the Cliff Dweller- the porg mug is pretty cute (if you're wondering, they do give you a clean one in a box when you leave).

Can anyone share their experience with rope drop this week for Galaxy's Edge? Especially on a magic morning? I am curious where the line forms, etc. Thanks!

 

[njchris]

Thank you!

Also, if you wear glasses, wear them when reading the prices on the menu when ordering a drink with a souvenir cup. I made that mistake to the tune of $40. whoops.

So... what... avoid Galaxy's Edge altogether at rope drop?? If that's the case, would it be best to make a Savi's/Oga's reservation for later in the day and just come back for then? If so, when is the best time if you wanted to get on the Falcon at least a few times?? Any tips/info would be great!

Depending when you’re going, I’d check wait times on the app leading up to your visit since the crowd patterns are fluctuating. Right now, the line is longest in the morning and tapers off. We had a 4:30 Cantina reservation yesterday and rode a little after 5 and waited almost 45 minutes, which wasn’t bad (the line moves continuously since there’s no FP).

After watching the wait times now since Monday, my plan is to make an cantina reservation for the evening after dinner and enter the land then.

August 20th - 27th. Just before, during and after the D23 Expo (though we won't be in Disneyland Park on Fri/Sat/Sun at all). Only before or after. But yes, I shall check on the app a bit more as it gets closer to the date... though I hear AP's are all unblocked on August 20th (rotten luck in booking there??) so I'm sure that'll rocket things up to nutty wait times...

the real crush will come when the APs unblock

Oh. Yeah, I’m sorry, but I think that’s going to be insanity.

The wait times in advance probably won’t help you too much because August 20 will be a “new normal.” If ROTR opens, they’ll be another game-changer. But I’d definitely keep an eye on things closer to then.

Heh. First, who knows, maybe it won’t be so bad? I think the influx of passholders combined with the D23 folk seems like an unfortunate combo, but maybe people will be scared of crowds and stay away some more.

Second, and more importantly, if you’re mentally prepared for crowds, you can have an excellent time regardless.
