Will it take DDP & is dinner considered QS?

From what I read, yes and yes. I’ve got reservations there next week so, here’s hoping what I read is correct. Lol

Pretty sure this will be a costume in a future horror movie, or at least someone who robs a bank.

Well I said after last year I didn't have the need to go to the Christmas Party again until it has a new show to see. I guess I'll have to add this back onto my list for the next year or two.

Disneyland Update: Look Ma, No Crowds!

Wow! That's amazing!!

While I would love to think the same thing will happen at WDW, I don't want to get my hopes up as it's really like comparing apples to oranges.
- DL is mainly local guests (outside of those who went specifically for SWGE) whereas WDW is mainly guests who are at Disney for an extended period of vacation time.
- DL offered a great reservation system. It appears WDW may do a virtual queue which will work much differently.

As time goes on, it appears people are thinking guests will stay away from WDW when SWGE, similar to what happened at DL. I received updated TP numbers and they're showing Epcot at 1s (Fridays and Sundays) 2 and 3 weeks into Food and Wine and 4s on Saturdays. Those predictions seem super low for the beginning weekends of Food and Wine!

I guess only time will tell. I'm looking forward to hearing how WDW decides to manage crowds/reservations/queues at SWGE and how the rest of the parks will fare.

Disneyland also blocked out CM's and many AP's.

A lot of people even with no interest in Galaxy's Edge already had vacations booked for when GE is opening - with the thinking it would definitely be before GE opened, but the earlier than expected opening of GE threw some people and some may move their vacation but others are "stuck" and will focus on the other parks

So long of the short, I don't think it will feel nearly as empty as DLR did (in the non GE areas)

@rteetz Did you see this about practically all rides at DHS becoming Tier 1? Seems pretty solid story?

That sounds like it’s reverting back to pre TSL opening tiers.
