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.

Though Interesting it says all guests 18 and over not just the person who made the reservation ... Wonder if they will track everyone who comes in and limit everyone to just 1 visit during the initial weeks (unless you have a room reservation of course)

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?

Yes to both, especially given time limits. Think they're just going to keep politely reminding people that this is going to be insane and weird and not to expect to hit everything (I really would hope that everyone gets to ride the Falcon, and I think they will, but who knows how bad it'll be until we get to opening day).

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

Egypt would be amazing to do with ABD

Would love to do an ABD one of these days - just out of our budget at the moment

Sort of hope they give you a pass or sub-timeslot for riding the Falcon so that is even more organized for that and you can allocate your time towards other things (even if you can't get to everything you know what how much time you have for non-ride things)

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?

WDW NT just tweeted that May 31 and June 1 slots are all gone

When I got in first go around only the first slot was gone on 5/31. Few minutes later on second go around only last slot was still there for 5/31 and for 6/1 at least the 8a slot was gone. And before I get yelled at I’m going with a group and used another persons login in our group for the second one.

they told us on Sunday that it was closing for refurbishment - it was not open but there were CM there directing everyone to the Outpost if you wanted food.

OK - probably not everything gone in one day - but I bet by Sunday it will all be gone.

4th now gone.

For what it’s worth, when I was on, around 10:10, literally everything after June 3 was wide open, which was fairly encouraging

That is good - and if they really are limiting people to one slot that should help. Obviously getting there for the first days is a priority for everyone, and especially media/bloggers to "be the first" with the coverage

June 5th and 8th now gone.

 

[PaintsWithAllTheColors]

Everything through June 8 is now gone, with very limited availability on any other weekends

This is my thought exactly!
