yeah, they made more room for people to stand andwait, but no more room on attractions.Don’t be nervous. They expanded their facilities to accommodate much higher crowds when they built SWGE.

As much as the parks evoke an emotional response from me they are just a business. It’s a very good business decision to get WDW on line first so it doesn’t bug me.I think that's what I dislike the most ... the blatant favoritism and money grabbing.
They literally created a new ride in Smuggler’s Run that can handle 2k people an hour- and that’s not even the significant new ride. They definitely increased attraction capacity.yeah, they made more room for people to stand andwait, but no more room on attractions.
They’ve had people working on the DL one 24/7 for months. Just last week, the samples man at my local Trader Joe’s was telling a coworker that he had barely seen his boyfriend lately because he’s working overnight every night on “the new Star Wars ride they can’t get open.” I’ve mentioned here that it’s been described as “hemorrhaging money” and “extremely broken.”Ya, it still wouldn’t help me based on the timetable, but how hard is it to hire another team of contract engineers for a year term once they knew they were behind? They should have been able to open these at the same time having two teams work seamlessly together... unless this isn’t the whole story...
Possibly the ride requires construction modifications inside and they’re still able to roll those into the WDW buildout and have engineers onsite to then quickly get it operational and will need to wait anyway at Disneyland for structure or vehicle modifications to take place before engineers could get in there and apply software or sensor fixes...
Either way a company of this size and ability should have seen issues like this way back in the spring and doubled down on their development efforts to at least hit the original opening dates (or very close to ~30 day delay)
No denying its smart business - at THIS point, when they're already well behind schedule. Smarter business would've been opening the premiere attraction in a reasonable window following the land opening. But that's neither here or there now, huh?As much as the parks evoke an emotional response from me they are just a business.

Ugh, I expected this but I'm a bit bummed. Our next trip will be over Halloween. Oh well, at least the already insane Halloween crowds won't have the added pressure of ROTR crowds.

I feel you. I’m debating moving our trip to January 11-17 specifically so that we miss it.I am a terrible person- this news thrills me. I was so worried the new ride was going to open in October when we’re in Disneyland. I love Star Wars. I had preferred to not be there the first week (or month) that this new ride opens.
I'd also guess that the WDW version was still in a construction mode, which made it easier to make the adjustments as compared to the DL version which may need some dismantling to get it done.
I was hoping that "end of the year" meant, well, "end of the year." Our trip is Jan 12-14. What are the chances of a "soft opening?" Did they even have one for the other ride? Well, now the park will be even emptier than we expected.
