2. Plenty of characters will be present at this new grand opening

In addition to the high-flying special entertainment, recent casting calls have shown up that indicate this grand opening event will feature a special one-time-only show with iconic characters like Rey, Kylo Ren, and Vi Moradi stopping by for the celebrations, which is in line with the character appearances we saw at the initial grand opening for Star Wars: Gaalxy's Edge earlier this year.
3. Extended hours (but not THAT extended) across Walt Disney World
As you might expect on opening day, Disney's Hollywood Studios will have extended hours, opening at 8:00 AM and closing at 10:00 PM. While this isn't as early as the 6:00 AM opening for Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge earlier this this year, this is still a longer operating day than normal and should allow plenty of guests to experience this new attraction on its first day open.
Interestingly, around the rest of Walt Disney World, hours at other parks will also be extended on December 5th due to the opening of Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. Disney’s Animal Kingdom will now open at 8:00 AM on that date with Extra Magic Hours beginning at 7:00 AM and Epcot will also be opening at 8:00 AM with Extra Magic Hours available at 7:00 AM.
Disney has a rare opportunity to get a second shot at a massive grand opening for Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, and it looks like the park is taking full advantage!
