Disney releases how they’re enforcing 4 hour limit in Galaxy Edge

The opening of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland Resort is quickly approaching and Disney has revealed that they will cycle through each guest in their 4 hour window of their designated reservation by colored wristbands.

As many of you fans know, the opening reservation period was last week, and many logged on to their computers in hopes of securing a time slot in the new Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge during this “soft opening” period and today, we have details of how this experience will play out for the lucky ones who were able to secure themselves a time slot.

The OC Register reported that Disneyland will issue colored wristbands to visitors during the reservation only period for each of the four hour windows. As you can probably imagine, newly admitted Galaxy’s Edge visitors will mix in with those already in the land. With these colored wrist bands, cast members will easily be able to track who can and cannot remain in the land past certain times of the day.

According to OC Register’s report, it’s believed that after each four-hour window ends, Disneyland employees may turn away visitors with expired wristbands attempting to enter the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, Oga’s Cantina, Docking Bay 7 and some of the other out of this world experiences found in the new land.

“At a certain point, if we have to, then we’ll start to ask them to leave the land,” said Disneyland vice president Kris Theiler. While discussing the land preview, the vice president continued, “Four hours is a long time in the land…Most guests are going to find that they’re ready to roll after four hours.”

How does Disneyland plan to remove stragglers in the land? “We’ll be utilizing the troopers to help us, for sure,” Theiler joked.

Theiler said, “the goal is to keep wait times for Smugglers Run under two hours. However, accommodations will be made if the attraction should experience any downtime.”

Just a reminder, guests will be able to freely walk about the land for hours on end beginning June 24 unless we hear otherwise.
