Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser passengers experiencing a frustrating reservation process during early booking window

Guests calling this morning were hit with numerous problems, from calls reaching capacity to a two-hour wait, only to be told that the actual queue with a specialist is at capacity and to call back later.

While no one is surprised as reservation issues are nothing new, I still find it hilarious that potential huge yield guests don't even have the ability to throw obscene amounts of $$$ at Disney due to this

By the time I get back to WDW this will probably be gone, but I think it's great (even with it's mishaps) that WDW is "investing" in things like this. Sometimes is nice just to slow down and sit down (although it looks like the seats aren't shaded) and watch something like this. Big $$$$ doesn't have to be spent on every attraction to be entertaining and memorable.

It probably depends on the time of day and where the sun is, but there were quite a few seats on the Nemo side that were shaded under trees during the show I went to. (4:15 show).

Well, it's something.

If you're hoping they just get rid of it, I have a bridge to sell you. I for one hope the new LL system stays permanently. I can deal with riding things once but love there is no advanced booking and that less people are going to have it.

I'm okay with it for the most part, but I'd prefer just paying for Genie+ not the additional rides, and lower prices on those rides would be better. I do agree that no advance booking is one of the great aspects about it.

‘Cast Compliment’ Feature Debuts in My Disney Experience App Without Ability to Name Cast Member

The feature, which was started as a social media hashtag, is now searchable within the My Disney Experience app. Simply search for “Cast Compliment” and you’ll be taken to a page where you can leave a Cast Compliment. The only problem? You can’t actually name the Cast Member who helped you. At this time, guests are only able to leave a compliment for a line of business, not a specific Cast Member.

That's what we were discussing when it launched....it makes no sense. Pretty much useless if you can't name a CM or type any sort of actual comment.
