No they didn't show us that. I don't know that it's spoilers now because I'm not certain they show you the same things, but

I think it depends on what you are looking for. If you don't mind not seeing the projections on the castle well it could be worth it.

Well don't care about the projections saw them at HEA Plaza view dessert party which was wonderful but it's such a mess leaving park after Fireworks. We will be at Poly so thought I could just walk back and forth from the Ferry. But of course there is a nice view of the fireworks right from the Poly...

I'd expect Disneyland's Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge to open Labor Day weekend and the push of D23 to August allows attendees exclusive access the weekend prior similar to what they had for D23 attendees to preview Fantasmic! 2.0 in 2017...thoughts?

I think Star Wars will open earlier than Labor Day.

I am kind of upset as now I likely can't go. Maybe 2021 I guess.

I'm upset to, i don't think I can go either because my college classes will probably start that week.

I am quoting a frat brother I know, but "they never teach anything at all the first week so skip it".

It's very tempting but my parents would kill me.

It could - as a comparison, Cars Land broke ground on July 8, 2009 and opened on June 15, 2012 (I was there opening day) so just under 3 years. Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge broke ground on April 14, 2016 so using a similar timeline would place it around Memorial Day 2019 however the amount of rock work is 2X so it may take a bit longer...

They are hauling on the rock work. I go almost weekly and it’s insane how quickly the progress is moving.
