RE: The CRT/HEA/Dessert Party package, the viewing area for these guests will be in the other hub garden, in front of Casey’s. So that area will now no longer be accessible to “regular” guests.

I knew it was too good to last. I wish I had taken advantage of this spot more than I did.

We caught the fireworks there in April (burned our hands pretty bad)...jk.

The spot we grabbed in that little area was terrible. I tried to tell my aunt, sister, and cousin that it would be much better to grab a spot at the train station but my cousin wanted to be in the hub. Not only was there a bush that seemed almost strategically placed to block the entire castle and fireworks, but then a man who was easily 6'3" had his child on his shoulders and stood right at the front of everyone sitting down. I legit didn't think the man was going to make it out of the park alive.

That’s my thought as well. My dad was a three pack a day smoker and now that I’m no longer around it, I have no tolerance at all. My kids can’t stand it when we go to NYC and walk through someone’s cloud of smoke.

I agree! Walking through smoke as a non-smoker is not magical at all! I think they should move the smoking area next to the bathrooms by the bus loop at every park (coke machines at AK). That way all of the smokers know where it is located at each park.

I thought this line in the article is interesting: "During the reservation period, access to the experiences in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge will be subject to capacity." ... so does that mean during your time if the line is too long you wouldn't be able to ride the Falcon attraction? Or at the very least means you might not get into the Cantina or the shops that you want?

I can't help but to wonder if the friendship docks might move as part of the skyliner project. Both international gateway and DHS are having some extensive security upgrades. Where the bag check is moving at DHS, I'm wondering what is going on there. The smoking area is a head scratcher unless of course the boat dock is going to move.

With the exception of @mikepizzo 's experience, is the other garden area typically a good spot to grab for fireworks? Or have people started staking it out really early now?

For what it's worth there probably are good spots there, we just didn't get one. We were kind of in the corner.

Also, depending where you are sitting in that garden area you may have people blocking your view that are standing outside of the garden area. They cannot stand right up against the garden fence because that is a walkway, but they are standing in front of you and you will more than likely be sitting down (since that's the point of grabbing a spot with the turf, right?)

We normally watch the fireworks from that garden and have great views. I wouldn't necessarily expect to be able to sit down though. Sometimes it works out such that most people sit but other times everyone ends up standing.

I don't mind standing at all, I like getting to be a bit separated from the general sea of humanity though. I'm sure it still gets a bit crowded in the garden area, but if I can have a few inches of personal space, that would be great.

We usuallly try to get at the back so that we can choose to sit or to lean against the rail....we usually get there a bit early (like 30-45 minutes), grab a seat, then I'll go get churros or something as a snack. In December we had a group of 7 of us for a MVMCP night and we had plenty of room and I believe people stayed seated for the most part.

I don't want to waste bandwidth frivolously trying to book to see...but this is going to book up pretty fast, right? I mean, these are gone before the end of the day don't you think?

Opening day will surely be gone before the end of the day. I don’t know if I would expect every day from May 31-June 23rd to fill up instantly.

The fact that guests have to bring government issue photo ID is a bit much in my opinion. I know we're "travelling to another world" but I shouldn't need my passport!

Not really different than some other reservations Disney has. The ID is just to make sure you are the person on the reservation. APs are also supposed to have their ID with their AP in order to receive discounts and such so it shouldn't be a big deal.

I wish I could like this post more than once. I love the new itineraries.

If they didn’t require it, half the reservations would be on eBay.
