As a great Star Wars fan I love this park. However I think having to book everything through the Disney App has made things a little more difficult. Anyone not familiar with the App may struggle a bit. However Disney Park Attendants are always on hand to help.

Another great park but only wanted to do the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' ride. Therefore I would recommend purchasing a 'Hopper' ticket that way you can enter the park in the afternoon and just do the rides you want to.
