Ride is barely worth a 20 minute wait, much less 4 hours. Good luck, kids!
Nice trolling post here. E for Effort.

I don’t think they need the boarding pass anymore for today. Seems like it was just to control the initial rush.
I say they give it at least a week.
Weekends will be the true test. but yeah a lot of passes are blocked out.I don’t think they’ll need it till more passes are unblocked in September.
So, it's looking like Disneyland didn't get slammed today. GESWL filled, but rest of park not so much.
I wonder if Disney had to do it over if they would have changed the plan. Yes, GESWL appears very manageable and orderly BUT they probably have lost a lot of revenue the past month due to lighter than expected crowds. And, Niles said there was just a handful of people lined up around 7 AM today, so the crush wasn't even close to being a crush....I'm started to think that Disney may not put too many crowd restraints in for DHS GESWL, so a soft response doesn't happen.This is the problem. All of the annual passholders - a grand majority of Disneyland's populace - just want to see Galaxy's Edge. The crowd control measures are working -- the land is manageable -- but it means the rest of the park is relatively light.

Yes, different crowd with more tourists at WDW....BUT many were predicting crowds of 100,000 to 2000, 000(which was an absurd number) for Disneyland TODAY. Wasn't even in the ballpark. and Aug. 29,30th aren't exactly destination dates for Orlando. A lot will depend on if the locals show up in droves.The scary thing is, even with what some are calling record low crowds for Disneyland in general, Ogas and Savis is filled in 20 minutes. And Falcon has 30-45 minute waits.
Saturday will be popcorn day. Perhaps Friday.
DHS is in a whole other universe. It (the park) will be at capacity by noon the first day it is fully open.

I'd be less hesitant if RotR was opening with the land. But it's looking like holding up RotR for whatever the reasons were, is affecting the demand. ....and even Hagrid's tech problems don't seem to be having any negative effect on Universal attendance. The parks have been slammed for the most part. Hagrid is bringing them in, regardless of the really bad weather most of the days except the past few, since it opened.Good news is the ride seems to actually open when the park does.....sorry for the low blow.

Yeah I’ve been told the word “underperforming” is being thrown around.
I’d also wonder if that has to do with wildly optimistic internal forecasts (see: Volcano Bay and Diagon Alley)
