With TSL now open and SWL only a year away, how are things shaping up at WDW (and WDL)? Is progress visibly noticeable? I didn't see a firm opening date, but is anyone booked for 2019 already in prep for the SWL land opening?

Looking at aerial pictures, still lots to be done... Not thinking about 2019 yet.. Well, a little I am I guess... Heading back down in October of this year... Want to spend my birthday there next year... Haven't done that... And birthday is in August... So who knows? Maybe I will go August and if I dare, when Galaxy's Edge opens...

From Walt Disney Imagineering Narrows Opening Dates for Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge:
Late Fall 2019 at Walt Disney World Resort
Disneyland's looks further along, but is also opening potentially 5 -6 months earlier. Their spires can be seen from the Railroad and looked fairly complete in May.

DizneyFreak...welcome back! You've been lurking in the shadows? It's good to see you back on the boards. I think we'll wait a year until the hype passes. I'm betting it's going to be way bigger than TSL or WOA as far as crowds and demand.

Yea waiting 5 hours just to enter the land isn't really appealing to me lol...

Some of us are meeting up in October if the timing is right and you want to join us, feel free to throw your 2 cents in.
I'll meet you at the Rainbow Bridge.

We opened up TSL and got into line at 5:10 AM, allowed in at 6 and rode both rides by 6:45 am, but while playing in the rest of the park later that morning, around 10 AM, if memory serves me correctly, the line was being extended to the "gate" where Star Wars land is due to be .... the CM's applying the masking tape to the ground told us from that point was approx a 7 hour wait ... and that was just to get to TSL .... it was CRAZY that morning, so my guess is when I get to open Star Wars, I'll have to be in line by midnight ...... I'm sure it (Star Wars) will far exceed the opening of TSL .... guessing of course ...

Wait...five and seven hour waits just to get into TSL now? We have fastpasses for the TSL attractions about 30 days out from today. Will we need to stand on line for hours just to get in to TSL hten just to wait to use our fastpasses?

Hmm, that is an interesting question. What if you can't get in for your fastpass time?
I'll meet you at the Rainbow Bridge.
What are the chances that they will have a pay-to-preview SWL when it opens next year like they did for Pixar Pier? I would be interested in taking my son to that.

My understanding is that it has changed significantly since opening day--still busy; just not the same extreme.
Recent Guest reports have indicated that during the park's nighttime entertainment or right before park close is a good time to visit the land with minimal wait times for attractions.

Hard to say with only one data point, but it seems likely given the growing trend in other 'after hours" type hard ticket events.
