Not pertain-able to today, but was able to snag 3 slots over the last week. Never got to Critter's Country more than 20-30 min early.
Monday 8pm-12am: first time in the land. My son is young and I knew he wouldn't be able to stay up long and we didn't know where anything was. We asked about droid building and was directed to the Droid Depot. The line was short and we only waited 20 min. They had run out of all black R unit bodies and only had First Order personality chips, which was fine with my DS. There was a line to get into Dok Ondar's, so we skipped it. Otherwise, we just walked around exploring. GE is gorgeous at night! Fireworks started right as we were heading out and we got a few pictures with Chewie.
Wednesday 11-3pm: Came with 2 other families and I was tasked with getting an Oga's cantina time. We were told expressly to follow the CM with the orange flag around her stick and not go ahead of her and it turned out to be a pretty orderly process. I was able to snag a time 30 min later and the text message came on time. We had a party of 14 and they put us right in front of DJ R3X. The kids had a blast dancing. The power went out and the bartenders led us on a chant to fix the hyperdrive! My favorite part was when DJ R3X rebooted, he quoted a bunch of lines from his Star Tours days. Line for droids was long so I was happy we had done it earlier. Smuggler's Run line was basically walk on. The kids piloted the ship and it did not do well! Afterwards, the CMs commented on how the ship needed lots of repairs and that Chewie would be on it. LOL
Thursday 11-3pm: Rey walked in with our group and it was awesome. This time was just my family and we split up since I wanted to do Savi's workshop. Even though I was near the front of the line, my slot was almost 1.5 hours later and the CM warned me to prioritize Savi over Oga's. The line was cut off pretty quickly. DH got an Oga's time slot 2.5 hours later, so it all worked out. I thought Savi's was an amazing experience and my DS helped build my lightsaber. They had also restocked the gift cards with a minimum $100 balance. We went on Smuggler's Run a few times, ate, and took lots of pictures!
I think SW:GE is an amazing land! They did such a good job. We saw Chewie, Kylo Ren, Vi Moradi, and Rey. The music, ships, and buildings had incredible detail. I think Oga's and Savi's is worth it. I'm not into buying expensive lightsabers, but making a custom one was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me. I was prepared to hate the blue milk, but turned out to be the only one who was able to finish it. Green milk, not so much. I can't wait to come back, but happy we accomplished all the "big" things and now I can just enjoy the land (and maybe some Oga's concoctions!).
FWIW, a friend sent a picture of Smuggler's Run wait time from Sunday and it was 240 min!!!!!
