I'm sure a few days after opening the lines were a more manageable time ... that was an assessment of opening day only .... it was INSANE !!

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.

Thanks for the update!

I'm sure it (Star Wars) will far exceed the opening of TSL .... guessing of course ...

Sorry, don't need to see something that bad where I am standing outside a theme park 5:00 AM.. nothing is that appealing to me and I don't have to be one of the first to see something... Not even Galaxy's Edge and I am a huge Star Wars fan... These things will be there next time I do... They aren't going away any time soon... Plus, line will be manageable by then.... I'm good...

Slightly off topic, what did you think of the Star Wars show at DHS? Is there a "perfect spot" I should get for a Star Wars fan?

... I agree with you, not much with Disney is that important, but it was our last day in Florida so it was stand in line super early, knowing we'd get in, or wait till our next trip ... you know the rest .. it turned out pretty good though, we were in and out before it got hot and had the rest of the day to relax by the pool ...

Which one??? The fireworks show at night??? Or the one held a few times during the day???

The nighttime fireworks show, well, I think standing back, maybe mid street only because there are fireworks that go off around the perimeter and being too close to the Chinese theater, you don't get the full effect of the pyro... But don't go too far back or else you may not get a very clear view of the projections... Over all, I LOVED IT!!!!

Glad it worked out for you.... And I hope my post didn't come off as rude in any way... Wasn't my intention... But hey, in reality, we all live our one life... and we want to live our best, most enjoyable life... Main thing is, you enjoyed Toy Story Land... You had fun... That's the main thing... I'm glad you enjoyed it and it worked out great for you!!!!!

I'll be checking out the land in October... From videos I have seen, I like what they did, despite a huge chunk of theme being cut...

Yeah, the nighttime show. Thanks for the info.

I agree and that approach looks like its going to pay dividends for us at Universal. If we are lucky we only get to Florida once every 3-5 years, and havent' been able to figure out how to work Universal in. We now have a wedding Feb 2019 and it looks like a 3 day stay at Royal Pacific is in order, giving us the Universal Express Pass, which is now good on Harry Potter. So waiting on Diagon Alley and such will have paid off.

I agree with you 100% about living the best we can, our way, with our one life. Spot on there !!! I will say although we enjoyed the new land and new ride. I say ride, as the Alien spin was rather boring and I can promise, I'd never wait more than 30 min for that one. Slinky Dog was a fun ride, much better than the mine train, and we know the lines that sucker can create. You'll enjoy the new sights and sounds but probably not be "blown" away .... it's good, but not that good !! hahaha ..... enjoy in October !!

Did the same thing with Harry Potter... As much as a desire I had seeing Hogsmeade, I stayed away the first year... New crowds would be crazy... Did the same with Diagon Alley... And as much as I can't wait for Galaxy's Edge, I may wait a year after that opening too...

Take a lot to blow me away... From video, I liked what they did... But it will have to look better than Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade, the two lands I think are the best two themed lands in theme parks today... And I don't think Toy Story Land, from video anyway, comes close... Pandora on the other hand, blew me away....

Do you think the crowds will be insane for the 50th?

The crowds were insane for the 40th... They will be even worse for the 50th...
