Some people who got there early ended up not getting a slot because the system crashed and left guest services scrambling to get them slots which was funny to me because we saw a ton of empty cars.
I'm not a Star Wars fan but the experience was fantastic. I found the rides to be 7 out of 10.
It is clear that they are updating a ton of stuff so if anyone is thinking of going I would honestly wait another 1-3 years until everything is completed.
I'm ready to go put my feet in the hotel pool to relax them.
enjoy the time. I am already booked for another trip there next December. The place is always changing and adding more. There will be at least three new rides that should open between when I went a couple weeks ago and when I go next year.
They changed the process when I was there. the ride opened like 3 days before I got there. The first day I went and got to the park they said they will make an announcement at 7:45 and at that time we could try and get a boarding pass. Well we checked at 7:20 and it was open so we got boarding group 8 that day. they made the announcement at 7:45 and it was sold out by 8:00 for the day.
they then changed it so the second day we went there your entire group had to scan into the park and could try and get a boarding group right away at that point. We got group 24 that day.
the first day the ride broke down when we were in line and we sat in the line for about an hour and a half. they came through giving out water and snacks to us while we waited. They seem to have worked out a lot of the issues because they were only getting through about 80 boarding groups a day while i was there now it is more like 140 a day.
I thought the rides were great and as a star wars fan I really enjoyed them and can't wait to go and do them again.
