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:
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.Quote:
Late Fall 2019 at Walt Disney World Resort
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 ...
I can't think of anything that I would stand in a 5 hour line for.
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.Quote:

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

... 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 ...
