Probably Thursday, July 11 and Friday, July 12. Possibly Friday and Saturday instead.
I'm going the Monday before con. I fly in Sunday, do Disneyland Monday, head down to San Diego Tuesday, and then SDCC.
I’m a Disneyholic, but I’m from Minnesota. It’s going to be difficult, but even though I’ll be in California for SDCC in July, I’m going to wait until next year’s WonderCon before visiting Galaxy’s Edge. I’m excited for you all though. I hope for full reports.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
If the i'm unable to get in the first day i may be open to either of these time periods-
If you are coming, just LMK, Alyssa!
I plan on doing a full write up for my website, hopefully publishing it before SDCC. ....
Those looking to stay on Disney property before they head to the opening of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge better try a different hotel location — or another weekend entirely.All Disney properties at the Disneyland resort are completely booked the night of May 30, the day before Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opens. Disneyland Hotel, Disney’s Paradise Pier, and Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel are all full. A booking agent confirmed this with Polygon, and mentioned that partner hotels still have availability.(...)As evidenced by the booking situation, hype for Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is intense. The full hotel situation comes not only from the excitement, but from how Disney hopes to manage it.From May 31 to June 23, not only will visitors have to purchase tickets for Disneyland, they will also have to make reservations to enter Galaxy’s Edge. While Disney has yet to release the information on how to make those reservations, thay have said that each registered guest staying at the Disneyland resorts will receive one reservation.
Am I odd? The first weekend it opens is the one weekend I wouldn't want to be there. I know they will go all out but ugh the crowds.
Guess I'll go against the grain here, but I love being "first." If I lived in SoCal I'd have likely booked one of those rooms. Sadly airfare is expensive and all my time off is used for SDCC (and uh health issues) so I won't be there then. I was the first guest to enter Innoventions when it opened back in like 97/98.But I'm weird.
When Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run opens in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland the highly anticipated attraction will have hours-long lines and an all-important new feature: A bathroom pass for those who can’t wait that long.The new bathroom pass will be available in the Smugglers Run queue when the ride opens May 31 at the Anaheim theme park and the Rise of the Resistance queue when the second Galaxy’s Edge attraction debuts later this year.
Disneyland will restrict access to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge from May 31 through June 23 to visitors with reservations. Each registered guest staying at the Disneyland Hotel, Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel or Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel during the initial 24-day window will receive one reservation to Galaxy’s Edge. A limited number of theme park visitors not staying in one of the three hotels will be able to make reservations for Galaxy’s Edge. Disneyland has not yet released details on how the free reservation system will work.There will be no standby access to the land and we want to make sure that that’s clear for guests,” said Disneyland Vice President Kris Theiler. “We don’t want guests coming to the park thinking, ‘I don’t have a reservation. Maybe I’ll just get in the queue and I’ll be able to get in.’ We’re not going to have a standby line. So it will be limited solely to those guests that have reservations.”A reservation probably won’t give visitors unlimited access to the new land for the entire day, Theiler said.“We will be giving guests a window of time, but we’re still working through what that looks like and the duration for that,” she said. “We know guests might want to stay in there all day, but we’ve got a whole big group that wants to get in there. We’re just trying to balance all those things and really deliver the right solution for our guests.”
Ha, I hadn't even thought about the bathroom situation. I vaguely remember when the Indiana Jones line was like 5 hours long we would run to the restroom and have trouble finding each other in the line again. My mom got yelled at because people thought she was cutting in line. lmao it was vicious.
no, it's a thing, being first.personally, the crowds will be hell for the first year or two imnsho- but i guess the fast pass option might kick in after a while BUT being first especially in the blogging write-up arena is a thing
FWIW most, if not ALL, of the rides w/indoor lines have a bathroom in the que: you just need to ask the employees (I've been in the bathroom in the Indy ride and in Space Mountain). Glad they're already anticipating that issue for Galaxy's Edge.
Other places in Disneyland that are one-way in/out:* back corner where Splash Mountain & Winnie the Pooh picture place is* Toontown
It's not uncommon for Disney to do "soft openings," where they'll open up a new ride a weekend early just to do a test run. They won't announce it, it's one of those "in the right place at the right time" type of deals. I got to do this the year they changed Space Mountain to the SW version: I was there on a Sat. or Sun. and one minute it was closed like it had been for months and literally 15 min. later it was open with zero line. So maybe I can get lucky and ride it on a secret soft opening before it opens. I'm hoping to catch it opening weekend, and I'm staying at Paradise Pier in mid-June so I should at least be able to ride it then. But I'm with you Angel: I like to ride it first as well
