Yea, these dates are essentially the soft openings. Very public soft openings.they are pushing the opening so hard I would expect no softs.
On MiceChat, a poster read a reply from Disney when he emailed them asking if there would be softs for GESWL in Disneyland. The reply from Disney stated there would not be any previews for the 'general public'. Guessing that would be the same for DHS.Heading to Orlando in mid August. Is it worth it to schedule a day at Hollywood Studios in hopes there’s soft openings? Or not worth the gamble? I still haven’t been to Toy Story Land but would rather wait and do them both in the same trip. Otherwise it’s 2020 at the earliest
‘General public’ could infer paid previews, however.On MiceChat, a poster read a reply from Disney when he emailed them asking if there would be softs for GESWL in Disneyland.

yep. I thought the same.‘General public’ could infer paid previews, however.
Huh ??? Smugglers Run is opening with the park so no new rides is not true.With RoTR not being initially operating, this sounds like a disastrous strategy. Imagine diehard SW fans going to DHS Aug/Sept and no new SW rides are operational. Yikes.

So, now there are rumors Smugglers Run won't open with the land in DL?
From who? You?
Disney is not going to open this land with a ride not open/working. The bad press from that would do FAR more harm than good. If word of mouth for the land turns negative quickly, that could severely harm Disney's earnings estimates if people decide to skip out because they heard bad things.
Disney will make sure the rides in this land are running pretty reliably before they open.
Ok, but I still don’t consider FB a legit source. A broken clock is still right twice a day.Guess Facebook isn't such a crazy source. Although they did get the ride wrong.
I sure took a lot of crap for my post

Facebook is an awful source but you were right so you get a like.Guess Facebook isn't such a crazy source. Although they did get the ride wrong.

I think they'll get a lot of locals checking it out early, and then wait a little bit before returning when the other ride opens. So, that could help.
Does anyone know for certain if Rise will NOT be open for Orlando initially as well, or only Anaheim? There seems to be some confusion on the internet about that.
I find the lack of any discernible news on Mickey a bit worrying as well
Bet hotel reservations were really bad at WDW for them to kick charge this opening.
While ROTR won't be open at the start, i'm still impressed with how early they are getting this land (partially) open by considering we were at one point doubting if they could even finish it by the end of this year. I'll definitely only be headed out to check out the land now only to hang out and look at the land for a bit, though. Or if I magically land a Smuggler's Run FP. My interest main lies within ROTR and with only one ride at opening, I can't even imagine what the lines will be for Smuggler's Run.
That's not how people think. They'll see how pretty the land is, see the lightsaber experience (w/o knowing prices), see the F&B locations, etc and be interested. The last thing people look at in vlogger/PR videos is how long the line. A lot due to it not being highlighted. If you want to stay in good standing with Disney, you don't criticize. So people might say, "The line looks long, but there's plenty to see!". Nobody will say it's not worth it, which will be enough from your average TimTracker viewer or whoever's watching what.
The system works fine in MK. It sucks everywhere else because there isn't enough attractions. The system would work if the parks were built out more. The real problem is the parks don't have enough attractions in the system to choose from that allow for it to work as intended.
I do not agree with it working in MK. The problem is not the number of attractions, it’s the number of fastpasses. They overload the system, which makes standbys lines untenable for big attractions

I believe Disney has always represented both Smuggler's Run & ROR as E ticket attractions. MAGIC insiders say the same. I would imagine their budgets reflect that also.What is the general consensus on Smuggler’s Run? Obviously it hasn’t opened yet, but do many fans consider it to be a true E-Ticket due to it’s simulator nature?
I’m just curious to see where it stands, considering it’s been dwarfed by RotR (and rightfully so), but when considered in its own context, is it a true signature attraction?
