Went to SWGE today. Wow! We grew up on the “original” Star Wars and loved how they did GE and Batuu. It stunned from the first moment we walked in.
From our hotel room (DLH) I logged into the Disney site at 7am to try to make reservations for Savi’s workshop. I had to refresh a few times, but I was able to select my time by 7:02am. We chose an afternoon time to hope to have a shorter wait for SR potentially.
Went to SWGE at 12 noon, it was busy but not uncomfortably so. But it was really hot and like others have said, there’s hardly any shade.
It was really confusing at Savi’s, a CM there gave us incorrect directions for when to come back and where to start, but once we got everything sorted, the experience itself was wonderful. I was an observer and for me it was also amazing! They were running about a half hour late for our reservation time, so use that as a guide not as a confirmed time.
Prior to the appt time for Savi’s, we explored the land, and ran into some stormtroopers which was fun and had a wonderful interaction with Chewbacca and then Rey. That was truly amazing and brought the biggest smile to our daughter’s face.
Otherwise, DL and DCA were busy later in the day but not as packed as we were over spring break last year.
We got to the park at 8:20 am and had some breakfast at market house before we started with the rides. Utilizing maxpass we got to ride star tours twice, autotopia and Astro blasters all in the space of 1.5 hrs in the morning. Then we park hopped to DCA to ride on Soarin twice. Then did a mobile order for lunch — so easy!!
