We were all looking forward to it and we ended up purchasing/building 3 custom built lightsabers from Savi's Workshop. This was a great experience for our family. The attention to detail is amazing the food and drinks were out of this world. He had reservations at the Cantina and had drinks and an appetizer. I was absolutely fantastic n heaven when we held up our sabers and turned them on and saw the glow and heard the sounds. These are light metal sabers not plastic or toy like. Our next adventure to went to Savis workshop and build our very lightsabers. I was feeling nauseous for about an hour afterwards but it was well worth it. If you are prone to motion sickness be warn it’s a little intense. Wow this is the best ride I have ever been on in my 43 years of life! Absolutely amazing! We had fast passes for Smugglers Run and that was a great ride as well. Around 9:00 we were called to go to Rise of the Resistance. At 7:59 I started opening and closing the my Disney App looking for the red boarder around join a boarding group, after about 3-4 times I join boarding group #25. We hung out watching the line get bigger and bigger to enter the area. Once through security and wanting in we headed to the entrance of the Star Wars park. We arrived at Hollywood Studios at 7:00 am with the intention of getting a boarding group to the new ride Rise of the Resistance. We just visited Disney’s Galaxy’s Edge the first weekend in March. I can’t imagine anything worse, or maybe in the future in will be a foot race between retirees and teenagers !! Disney you need to sort this. I also think the logistical process of over 40 year olds, trying to compete with teenagers in a typing race in an App is completely unfair. If you are an American spending serious time to get to the parks, I really pity you and the explanation that you’ll have to give to your disappointed families. I love Disney, i like Star Wars, but this was one of the biggest let downs I’ve ever experienced in regularly visiting the parks. The ride story was ok, but it was like being in Buzz Lightyear without being able to shoot, and a drop that felt like a stumble at the end. So exited with very angry riders and grabbed a Disney official who granted us a FP for the next day. We were told to ‘come back later ‘ by Disney actors. Second attempt a few days later, using data roaming we were group 80 confirmed at 0801!! Same experience as above were informed that our boarding time was 1530, arrived and then queued with other boarders for 1 hour. By very late afternoon we were informed that 1900 was our likely boarding time, we were already booked in a restaurant in another park, so a pointless experience. Did a few other rides with FPs then left as the park is now a queuing nightmare. We tried to use the Disney WiFi, which collapsed instantly, then data roaming and by 0803 we were confirmed as group 105, and Disney only confirm that the first 60 will make it. By 0800 we were into the park and at 0800.01 Disney opened the floodgates on their App to take bookings. Arrived early at Hollywood Studies, like a host of others, to ride the Rise of the Resistance.
