But in years to come, we lucky few will be able to say we were there when it opened - even if we don't go anywhere near HS on that day

We leave on the 28th so we'll get all of the extra crowds and not actually get to see it

We are going with sil and family , it’s their first time to wdw and they are huge Star Wars fans so were quite disappointed when we originally thought we would miss it. They are over the moon now!

Wow, that’s really surprised me! I never thought for a moment that it would open whilst we are there in August. It’ll be very interesting to see how access and fastpasses will be handled. Hopefully it also means that the Skyliner will be up and running!

Yes, we're really pleased. I know it's going to be crazy, but we're not planning to go back for a few years, so Pandora, Toy Story land and this will all be new for us this trip!
Told my husband who foolishly said, 'Do you think the crowds will have died down a bit if we're going 2 months after opening?'

I bet they will issue fast passes for the area and the single ride opening. So if you have one for the ride you can access the area , but have more FP's just to get into the area and have no standby Q , or in the first few weeks at least.

I arrive on October 23rd. Happy that it’s opening, albeit in 2 phases. May have calmed down a little bit by then, but somehow - I doubt it!
