Yes I will be going to Orlando. I haven't been to Disney land since (oh gosh 1975 ?). Back then there were lettered coupons to ride the special rides.
Since then I've been to Disney World a couple of times. Epcot at least twice.
One year I even filled a couple of post cards with autographs from Mickey and other costumed cast members.
I've also been to Universal - with two trips to see the Hogwarts set, and 2-3 years later to see the London set. For the second visit, we stayed at a Park Hotel & had early admission.
But here I'm interested in the Star Wars experience.
"To visit Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland Park between May 31, 2019 and June 23, 2019, Guests will need a reservation to access the land and valid theme park admission." After that No reservation, but subject to max capacity. I've heard that all of the reservations have been given out. Then again if you stay at a park hotel, you get an included reservation.
So, for Disneyworld, I'm going to assume the same problem will exist. Opening date August 29
"Capacity is limited. Admission to Disney’s Hollywood Studios—including Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and its experiences—may be restricted or unavailable depending on Guest demand and other factors."
Staying at a park property allows early admission to the park
I'm hoping that by November some of the hype will have died down.
Right now the web site only has two rides & other stuff to do.
The other stuff includes making your own light saber, or your own droid. I will assume that there is an additional fee for either of these. [Especially since they are listed as Merchandise.]
You can purchase a Jedi robe, but not wear it in the park (else you be thought a Disney Cast member).
I found a "Star Wars Launch Bay" which is a large warehouse/theater on the map, next to the Brown Derby Restaurant, but the only pictures are artists concepts.
So it is possible that the entre Star Wars is under a roof, and all view-scapes, shops and city streets are under that roof.
