New Star Wars opening days

By no planning, I just happen to be at WDW 2 days before the opening of the first section of new Star Wars and ON the day of the second opening I arrive that morning (dec5th). It is also Walt’s birthday. I attended a really fun day at the studios on Walt’s 100 Birthday. Lots of press and fun events. Does anyone know of any events/activities that I can look for with this years date and hopefully avoid the crazy rush at the studios? I don’t remember there being any huge events on his other birthdays, maybe just a mention at the studios when going into the park.

Eventually I would like to check out the Star Wars section of the park, but don’t want to get involved in the craziness of the opening days!!

I go to Disney World the beginning of December every year, and I don't remember ever seeing anything to celebrate Walt's birthday. Hopefully this year will be different!
