Earlier today Robert Iger announced that Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge would open in Walt Disney World in late August. However, not all of the new land will be open on that date!
Millenium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run WILL be open on August 29, 2019. However, Rise of the Resistence will NOT be open on that date. It will open at a later, unannounced date.
Fastpass service will NOT be initially offered for Millenium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge WILL be open for Extra Magic Hours at Hollywood Studios, but Extra Magic Hour or Morning Magic WILL NOT be included for this attraction for Disneyland
The grand opening in Disneyland will offer both attractions on opening day of May 31, 2019.

Hopefully that will make May less crowded! Yay!

I am planning to go the last week in August. I thought I would be missing the Star Wars opening. Do you think the whole week is now going to get much busier, or can I just avoid HS from the 29th forward and be ok. I already made dining reservations so I really don't want to move my trip, but if the crowds are going to be significantly higher I might want to go a week earlier.

I’m wondering the same thing.

Any thoughts on best plan of attack if we want to see it? We leave on August 30th so only have August 29th and maybe a few hours in the park on the 30th before having to be at POP by 3pm to catch the Magic Express to airport and fly home.

Kenny, will you be updating the crowd calendar at all? I know you usually stick with what you’ve predicted, but I’m guessing this announcement changes things. We arrive August 28th and I honestly think I might change my dates to July to miss this madness. I booked free dinning and I dont want to give it up unless the opening is going to make all the parks crazy busy.

Do you think this will reduce crowds for June-August now that there is an announced date?
