Yeah I don't see them adding it because of efficient access to the land (no need to worry who has or doesn't have a FastPass when the land reaches capacity like they had to for Pandora) not the efficiency of the ride. The efficiency of the land access is much worse with FastPass so I think we won't see anything (paid or free during normal park hours) until the land crowds die down, since IMO that is the efficiency issue Disney is concerned about (much easier to tell people at the gate SW:GE is closed then deal with FastPass); whereas, the efficiency of the ride is the same with or without FastPass (same capacity per hour). Also why offer FastPass for free if you plan on having a paid upgrade, people are less likely to get upset if they never had the free version for that ride.Nothing and I am not sure Disney has a set time frame yet. They are going no-FP because they want the flow in loading these attractions to be smooth. It could be a year before they add it. Universal did similar things with Potter and Express Pass.
Yeah I know express is different I was just comparing it to that cause Disney has never opened a new attraction without FP like this before.However, Express Pass is a bit different and was many years (7 years for Forbidden Journey, right?) before they added because the main concern, I believe, was it would water down the experience of Express Pass. I though they were concerned it would always sell out and everyone would buy for exclusively to use at Harry Potter. This isn't an issue with FastPass because it isn't an unlimited option, you get one pre-assigned time, if lucky, and can't re-ride unless lucky again.
Sorry wasn't my intended meaning just was trying to highlight that FastPass for GE is likely controlled by concerns about land capacity (at least to some extent, probably same as Harry Potter too). I'm just hoping the swarms of people eventually start spreading out so it isn't 7 years paid or unpaid for some sort of FastPass option with SW:GE. At least Disney does DAH and EMM so they have leg up if they offer those for SW:GE.Yeah I know express is different I was just comparing it to that cause Disney has never opened a new attraction without FP like this before.
A year...yikes! That would get lots of folks pretty riled up.Nothing and I am not sure Disney has a set time frame yet.

If it helps things flow I think people will be okay.A year...yikes! That would get lots of folks pretty riled up.
For SW:GE? There won't be any because there is no table service.Any word on ADRs?
Quite frankly, I was surprised by this. No table service restaurant in a new land? I wonder why.For SW:GE? There won't be any because there is no table service.
Disney set a precedence with this, Avatar and TSL, and any reason why is speculation, unlikely to ever be confirmed by Disney. However, I could see (and others on this board suggested some of these) the following: faster turn around for serving a guest, no worries about guaranteed access to the land which is likely to be consistently at capacity for major parts of the year, other popular park expansions haven't had any (think HP which has done well with Counter Service), and budget cuts. But all really share a common base element of crowd control to some extent (aside budget cuts)Quite frankly, I was surprised by this. No table service restaurant in a new land? I wonder why.
Again. Crowd flow. You get people in and out faster with quick serviceQuite frankly, I was surprised by this. No table service restaurant in a new land? I wonder why.
The number of on site guests that would be able to book fp is much, much smaller than the number of visitors who are off site and locals. Most people will be happier to be in a 2 hour line than a 5 hour lineA year...yikes! That would get lots of folks pretty riled up.
On the site they all say table service until you click it then it changes to counter but
Disney's Hollywood Studios
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge
Valid Park Admission Required
Unique/Themed Dining
Gives me hope it could be TS
This would only happen if you assume that people won't be riding the ride because of no FP and for this level of disparity you would be assuming a lot people wouldn't be riding. The ride has the same capacity to push people through and the existence of a FP line does nothing to reduce that capacity. It will make a "level" playing field with those on and off site for days that don't have EMH though. The people that were in the FP line need to go somewhere to ride the ride. I would assume the line waits could drop some only because some people might not ride but in the very beginning a lot will still. Just as many waited hours for Space Mountain or Test Track when FastPass didn't exist with similar wait times as the stand by has today.Most people will be happier to be in a 2 hour line than a 5 hour line
Proven when tsmm went without fp. Wait times went from an hour to an hour and half to 45 min to 30 min.This would only happen if you assume that people won't be riding the ride because of no FP and for this level of disparity you would be assuming a lot people wouldn't be riding.

Overall land capacity is probably going to be the overall driver of waits for people to experience the rides in SW:GE in the very beginning.
I really HOPE it doesn’t take them a year before adding FP. (Edited my original post)
