Nrthwnd Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Mmmmmm looks amazing! And like DisneySea (to me), I can easily enjoy just the atmosphere and theming of all of it, without having to go on a ride to enjoy it. And the food, drinks, and merchandise, of course. Thanks for posting all of this, Robb. Kind of related, that I can't wait to see how the Disneyland version looks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuxedomask5432 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 YAY! I am so excited to be visiting at the end of September! It will definitely be crowded, but hopefully not as bad as opening week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterLover Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Are the images/footage provided from Disneyland or DHS? I realize that (in the long range) it doesn't really matter as they will both be more or less identical, but if they are from DHS, I had no idea they were this far along already.

robbalvey Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Are the images/footage provided from Disneyland or DHS? I realize that (in the long range) it doesn't really matter as they will both be more or less identical, but if they are from DHS, I had no idea they were this far along already. They are actually from Disneyland but the DHS stuff we saw looked pretty much exactly the same. I don't think they are that far apart from each other. When I walked into the land yesterday, I was surprised at how "done" it looked. Pathways were finished, entrance areas, etc. They are clearly doing more "finishing touches" and "tweak and adjust" right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I love Star Wars and this land looks like it does the franchise justice, and then some. Everything looks incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pathways were finished, entrance areas, etc. They are clearly doing more "finishing touches" and "tweak and adjust" right now. Fantastic to hear, especially considering they still have four months until (grand) opening. I wonder if that opens the door to the possibility of soft openings/AP previews before Aug 29th... (something I keep hearing won't happen prior to the listed opening date for DL)... nonetheless, looks fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoppy Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Woo! The theming from what has been seen so far doesremind me of my time at DisneySea. Now, I must begin to digest how much more $$$ I will need to save in order to get my family back there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearbm95 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Couldn’t care less about Disney or Star Wars but this looks breathtaking...really cool how from the pics it seems like you’re in a separate park and not just a “land” within a larger park. Very immersive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 made the news here today, that reservations are now open for Star Wars Land as of 10am today. That was for Disneyland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCjunkie Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 It’s been said before but......WOW. I would like to thank in advance the brave souls who will fight the crowds during opening week and then come back to share their pictures and experiences with the rest of us here. Looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Well, we have opening dates for Rise of the Resistance. From the Disney Parks Blog Timing for Opening of Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance AnnouncedThomas Smith by Thomas Smith, Editorial Content Director, Disney Parks We’ve got some exciting news to share today with the galaxy. We’re opening Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Dec. 5 at Walt Disney World Resort. If this date sounds familiar, many of our fans will recognize it as Walt Disney’s birthday. What better way to honor the ultimate storyteller than by introducing the most immersive and advanced attraction ever imagined in a Disney Park. When it opens, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance will blur the lines between fantasy and reality and will put guests in the middle of a climactic battle between the First Order and the Resistance. Guests will be recruited to join Rey and General Organa at a secret base. Along the way, they will be captured by a First Order Star Destroyer. With the help of some heroes of the Resistance, they break out and must escape the Star Destroyer, protect the secret base, and stay one step ahead of Kylo Ren. As soon as work is completed at Walt Disney World, Imagineers will head back to California to complete their mission at Disneyland Resort where Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance will open on Friday, Jan. 17. Between now and then, we’ll have lots more to share about this immersive, multi-platform experience so keep checking the Disney Parks Blog for updates.

KBrylczyk Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Oh no, now we can expect the Orlando fanboys to go to war with the California fanboys to brag about theirs opening first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 God I hope not. Though it's disappointing that the CA one is delayed, It doesn't even matter who's opens first. They were never in a race to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 On the bright side, I'm glad this will be open when I'm at Disney World in December. On the downside, I know I'll be queuing a long time since we will probably be there opening weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Awesome! Really looking forward to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuxedomask5432 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Well that’s only a few short months between openings of the new Star Wars attractions. Perhaps that will help reduce crowds around the opening of the land in Late August. I’ll be going in mid-end of September so this makes me feel a bit better about the possible crowd levels. Sad I’m missing the headlining attraction, but I’ll be back to Disney when Guardians and Tron opens anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ape Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 We had a trip scheduled from December 1-7. I am glad we changed our dates to January earlier this week. I want no part of the madness from the opening of the new ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dombot Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 It's official! I will be visiting Batuu on Sunday, September 1st. It kinda sucks that my trip was set in stone to be Labor Day weekend, but at least I get Extra Magic Hours to visit the area earlier than most guests. Even if I don't ride Smuggler's Run, the fact that I even get to see the area in general has me stupid excited. Till the Spires! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
