Reservation 5-9pm on 8/19: We got in at 4:00pm and got our reservation card for Savi at 4:25pm. We headed straight to Savi’s and bought 3 cokes on the way(max allowed)
We checked in at Savi’s and after 5 minutes it started pouring. There are some umbrellas, but everybody got wet, including the CMs that were under the main tent. They may have to add additional cover for the CMs and equipment as everything was getting wet.
We built 2 lightsabers: the experience, if you are fan, is well worth the money. The units are of very high quality, although the experience of building it is what makes it worth it.
Then we headed to the MF ride. All in all, I will say that this is the best ride so far in all Disney. My review may be biased because we were able to ride pilot twice, and because we saw Steph! The fact that you are interacting with the ride makes it a fully immersive experience. FOP may be cooler with all the other effects, but you cannot make the banshee go left and right, up and down.
We purchased some additional merchandise, and also food. The foods was a b-. I am sure they will get their act together by opening day. But it was the only downside of the day.
At around 8:30, we were able to do a walk in for Olga’s: this is the best bar in the galaxy!!! I would spend hours in this place! It somehow reminded me of my college days
The CMs were great and they were for the most part in character. We interacted with Rey Twice and it was amazing.
The data pad is awesome, and you could probably spend a whole week just trying to complete the missions etc.
I thought that I would miss the fact that luke, han, leia, and darth along with the legacy star wars was not part of the theme, but it was great anyway. We will probably not have the opportunity to live the land as we did anytime soon: this was certainly a VIP experience.
We finally left the land at :9:20pm. I really did not want to leave!!!
Well done Disney!
