It's Clear Why Disney World's "Star Wars" Land Is More Popular Than Disneyland
Disney's (NYSE: DIS) Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge opened in Florida on Thursday morning, and it's fair to say that it's a tourist magnet right now. The 14-acre expansion at Disney's Hollywood Studios closed to capacity within minutes of the official 6 a.m. opening time, and an hour into the day the wait for the only ride open in the new area had ballooned to as much as five hours.
It was an entirely different scene at Disneyland three months ago, as queue times for Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run topped out at roughly 90 minutes and were routinely half that long later in the day. It should also be an entirely different scene when Disney reports financial results come early November. There was a surprising decline in domestic theme park attendance for Disney's fiscal second quarter, but that should not be the case for the current period.
