Outside Both gates, fans did everything they could to see inside the new Star Wars: Galaxy Edge park.

Including Linda Valenti from Cherry Hill, New Jersey.

"I can't wait to be in the land, and get a closeup view," said Emily McCarthy. When asked if she was going Opening Day, Emily responded "Maybe."

Her father worried about long lines and crowds.

'We'll see how crowded it is. We'll see if we can get in, I heard it's going to be a lot of crowds," said Mark McCarthy.

Massive crowds are expected for Thursday's debut. For many Star Wars fans, August 29 has been on the calendar for months.

"The effects are out of this world. It's great, I can't wait," said Mary Breen from Cherry Hill.

"It's amazing, like full emersion of being in the movie, it's crazy cool," said Sydney Browning from Bozeman, MT.

When asked who and what are you looking forward the most, Abby Strauss said," Chewy and Kylo REN! I love them!"

"What we know so far its that they serve blue milk like in the movies," said Patsy Parades.

If you didn't know that's a drink Luke Skywalker made famous, and yes, it's at the Milk stand. There's a droid depot, and characters from the movie roaming the streets.
