SWGE AP previews - Meet Ups

[Araminta18]

Has there been any educated speculation on how many people they're letting in for each time slot?

Here’s a photo of the 5p time slot today that’s still overlapped by the 3p time slot and after a heavy rainstorm:

Is that the standby line for MFSR? If so, what's the listed wait time? It looks like it won't be too terrible if it's like this for the AP previews

Yes; it’s the extended MFSR queue with a posted wait of 50 minutes. CM friend didn’t time her wait... she’s thinking they may be leaving it at 50 but @yulilin3 will know if that’s correct.

During cm previews the slot times have not been enforced, not even for SR. The ride has stayed under 30 minute wait time consistently
Savi and Oga have been available for standby
Not sure if this will be the same during ap preview
Im going Tuesday if there's anything you guys want me to find out lmk and I'll try my best to get you an answer

Can you explain what you mean by time slots not being enforced? They aren’t making people leave after their time is up? Or are they letting people in early? Example, if we have a 1-5 slot, might we be let in when ever we get there? Thanks!

Dh and I watched a vlog that showed the droid depot and agreed we're gonna make one together. It is pretty expensive, but still cheaper than the lightsabers and I could actually see us using the droid.

DD 8 really wants to make a Droid. She has ~$30 saved up and is itching to do chores to earn the rest. Not sure she's going to make it before we leave for our trip on Saturday

We're gonna make the R2 model instead of the BB8. I'm glad we both wanted the same model. It'll be funny to see what our colors end up being since we're gonna take turns lol. I'm not sure what my overall game plan is going to be for the entire land. A lot of it will be last minute I bet since we're the first slot for previews.

So cool!! DD really wants BB8.

We have no plans or idea what we’re going to do once in SWGE. We’ll definitely get in line for the ride and the rest of the time will probably just wander around, try some blue milk and look in the shops. Honestly we don’t have many plans for our entire trip other than some FP, Wild Africa Trek at AK and an ADR at BoG. I guess that’s half the fun of APs. You can just go with the flow, pop in for a few FP or some food in Epcot then back to the resort to swim or over to Disney Springs for shopping and entertainment.

I dug out an old Rey Halloween costume that we bought for my niece but it was too big and she didn’t really like Rey anyway (or know who she was). It’s still a bit big for DD but she’s going to try it on tomorrow and see if she can wear part of it. I’m hoping since we’ll be there in the early morning it won’t be blazing hot yet.

Do you think we should head to the ride right away? I'm wondering if that's what everyone else will do. I honestly have no idea what to expect. I'm not sure if they'll give us a certain time for Oga's or what. It's gonna be fun no matter what, but I'd love some details lol. Dh wants to vlog so I'm sure we'll do a little of that, too. Our main things are the ride, droid depot, Oga's, blue/green milk, and then just taking in the atmosphere.

I think I'm gonna buy a Star Wars tank top. I don't currently have any Star Wars shirts and I'd like to wear one. I think it'll still be pretty warm from 9-1. By the time we're done at 1 it'll probably be pretty toasty.

On a separate note, does anyone know if the Play app will be working or already is?

I know they aren't enforcing people to get out. Again im going tomorrow and will find out about getting inside early

 

[yulilin3]

@Haley R I'll find out about the play app tomorrow

 

[nycDis]

I bought a sleeveless tshirt that says Galaxy's Edge 2019 when we were at the gift shop by Star Tours last year I'm forcing myself to wear that if I can find where I put it, lol! Our plans for our preview are the same as yours. We hope we can utilize our AP discount on a droid as rumored earlier....I think I need clarification on where exactly we can use either DVC or AP discounts in the land. I know Savi's is a "no" but I'd like to save a little where we can. Dh and I both want droids and I wanted an R2 unit but so does dh....I'll probably get a BB unit though so we can have one of each.

We have a 5-9 timeslot so I hope they are enforcing the times. Also, @yulilin3 Can you confirm/clarify if we will be able to use a Dvc or AP discount during the previews or even later for that matter? We are going for the last preview offered and staying one night, then coming back 4 days later for our planned trip. I joked with dh that this has been the most financially irresponsible thing we have ever done, lol!

 

[Three11hex]

I will be there 8/17 from 1-5 and have Savi as my reservation (hubby picked the first thing he saw lol). Does anyone WANT Savi who didn’t get it? If there is a way for me to give you the ticket or whatever holds my place, I would be more than happy to help you out

I thought that we couldn’t use the AP discount for the droids? I’m pretty sure I read that somewhere.....but I have seen the CMs were able to use their CM discount

That's what I mean. I have heard some have used it during the CM previews and I was wondering if that would hold true during the AP previews. Maybe i didnt phrase my question properly.

I would love to use our AP discount. Hopefully we get some more info with it once we start our AP Previews

I don't think the Datapad is active in WDW for CM Previews. Otherwise, you'd be able to activate the Datapad as opposed to watching a "preview video".
