You don't

Bummer! That's what I figured.

I don't think AP previews will be happening like Pandora which was both rides.
Maybe they will offer them after opening like they did for TSL.

 

[Anal Annie]

Wait - what?! Am working and don't have time to sort through every post. Only 1 attraction opens Aug 29th? What about the other one?

With pretty much all of sept being sold out now I hope not or that would mean an off-site stay for this out of state passholder.

For WDW, it opens later, we don't know when. (Rise of the Resistance opens later)

ETA; apparently DL is opening in phases as well

 

[Spaceguy55]

Still plenty of rooms right now thru September,even at a discount..sun and fun.

For the next hour or so, maybe

So this is exciting, but I want in about 5 years for them to offer a Holloween type part for Star Wars Galaxy edge, where you can dress up in costume.

 

[SG131]

I’m hoping once this rush is done ap discounts for summer will be released.

Sounds like it's an issue for both parks, according to this link. We def need some clarity, kinda wish they announced the Phase 2 date but I get why they didn't.

For the next hour or so, maybe

I’m seeing almost no fun and sun offers at least in the value and moderates. Pop seems totally sold out weekend after Labor Day.

Those people who booked to arrive after August 29 during the free dining offer must be feeling very lucky, right? Free dining + Star Wars opening = a good deal?

 

[Mome Rath]

Surely to goodness they aren't having problems with the tech for Rise?

well, except for the people who specifically booked a trip them wanting to avoid the opening figuring now way it would happen while free dining is going on

 

[dolewhipdreams]

Oh interesting- any movies traditionally kept in the Disney Vault will eventually be available on Disney+

 

[TheMaxRebo]

might not be tech problems per see, more just taking longer than the rest of the land to finish and as it is so new and so involved I am sure they want to get it right

Seems like these dates are earlier than anyone thought they would be so Rise might still be on track(less) for the original time frame, just the rest could be open early

 

[scrappinginontario]

All in all for those who booked there trip to miss the GE stuff, you can think of it in 2 ways. 1 yes DHS will be packed and if you love DHS it might impact your park experience.In saying that think about the crowd levels at the other parks durring that time. I would expect you will see a less busy Magic Kingdom because of the drain for DHS, except for Party nights, this time between the Galaxy Edge Duel openings have the potential to pull down attendance at MK, people who want to go ASAP will go but the ones who want the full Experience will hold off, and your more likely to have less 1 day local guests at MK as soon as it opens.

That's one way to look at it but I'm looking at it as, those who will now book to go to SWGE will not just book 1 or 2 days and then head home. They'll book a full trip and will need to go somewhere else the days that they're not at SWGE.

UGH! Think I'm going to start a poll somewhere to ask those now booking to go to SWGE, now many days are they booking for their trip. I need to make some quick decisions about our early September trip here.\

Hmm he said “entire Disney library” so Song of the South?

 

[mollmoll4]

Disney+ Will have ALL movies from the vault available!

Sign me up.
