I'm going with bigger than Carsland opening.I anticipate opening to be the end of June 2019.
I'm sure Disney would like to have it open by DL's July anniversary date.
Another question to go with this one is what will the crowds be like?
Do you think they'll be the same as when Carsland opened? Or BIGGER!

We probably will as well (because I could not care less about SW in general) but I'm wondering if the rest of the park will be light because most people are in SWL.Following, because I need to know when to avoid like the plague!!!
I'm thinking July. Possibly mid-June like Cars Land was, but not any earlier. My reasons:
--It will be the 64th anniversary time, so not a "big" one that would bring more crowds than normal. I mean, I've been there a few times on anniversaries, so I know the crowds are a bit higher, but there's nothing like the 60th events to bring tons of extra people in.
--Need at least some AP'ers blocked for decreasing the static-level crowds, and of course, because people will pay out the wazoo to go to the opening, including (especially?) blocked-level AP'ers.
I'll come up with other reasons, too, but those are my first ones.
I added September to the poll for you.September, 2019
Maybe first thing in the morning, but I'm thinking since all those people paid admission for the whole day they'll filter into the rest of the park too. Not everyone can handle those kinds of crowds all day long, and there are only a couple of rides going in. There are also quite a lot of people who are Star Wars fans as well as overall Disney fans, who will be interested in the whole park but needed the push of Star Wars to get them to plan a trip.We probably will as well (because I could not care less about SW in general) but I'm wondering if the rest of the park will be light because most people are in SWL.
The reason I say May is if we look at all of the main attraction openings for te last decade or more, they typically have tried for May at the beginning of summer.
I guess I look at it differently. Cars Land is the most recent "major" opening we have had at the resort, and that was June 15, 2012. The reopening of the DLRR, Pirates' Lair/Tom Sawyer Island, and Rivers of America, a much anticipated event, occurred July 29, 2017. Granted, the 60th Anniversary started on May 22, 2015, and that was also the start of a pretty exciting time, but not on the scale of a new land, or the reopening of re-imagined areas.
It's fun to try to figure out how they decide when they will be opening Galaxy's Edge!
Either as late as possible ( September ) or try to coincide with the release of Episode IX (9) in May ( the 4th would be awesome )
I voted for May.
That would be perfect.I think they have a great opportunity here. Opening day May 4th.
