00:27The immensely popular attraction even opened 30 minutes early at 7.30 a.m., but by 8.20, no more walk-ins were allowed.

00:34And even before Galaxy's Edge had hit its max, the wait time to ride Millennium Falcon Smuggler's Run was already at 180 minutes,

00:41aka three hours, according to the official Disneyland app. But by 10 a.m., the wait time was down to 40 minutes.

00:54that features the one ride and a number of shops and restaurants, all on the theme of a galaxy far, far away.

01:00Now, guests are allowed to walk right into the land as long as it's not at capacity. Disney will not say what that number is.
