00:00Star Wars Galaxy's Edge finally opened at Walt Disney World Resort on Thursday,

00:09and no surprise, the galaxy far, far away land quickly reached capacity.

00:13Shortly after the attraction was fully open to the public, Disney World was forced to enact

00:17the boarding pass system, or a virtual queue, according to the park's official app.

00:21That meant guests could not just enter the land, they had to wait until it was their group's turn.

00:25At 10.30 a.m. Eastern Time, the app said the foremost group would not be allowed in

00:29until the afternoon. And according to the app, The Ride, Millennium Falcon,

00:33Smuggler's Run had a three-hour wait at that time.

00:37This scenario mirrors exactly what happened when Galaxy's Edge fully opened to the public

00:40at Disneyland back in July. The land was so popular that the boarding pass system was needed

00:45within an hour and used for a good chunk of that day.

00:48The Star Wars land in Anaheim had a soft opening May 31st when a reservation was required

00:52to get into the 14-acre area that features Smuggler's Run and a number of shops and restaurants,

00:57all on the theme of a galaxy far, far away.

00:59For the moment, the land of both parks only has one ride.

01:02A second ride called Star Wars Rise of the Resistance will open at Disney World in December

01:06and at Disneyland in January.
