How old are your kids?
We were there last summer the first week Galaxy's Edge was open and got put standing at the bar even though we were only the 2nd party to enter the Cantina that day. There are very few sit down tables there. I would say at least 85% of the Cantina is standing. There are a few booths around the sides. They are larger booths and when we asked, we were told that those are only for larger groups because of their size, and that was why we (a party of 3) were put at the bar even though seating was still empty. I was surprised because I figured being the second group in- we would get a seat.
It actually was fine. Being at the bar, we could see a lot of the things close up, and DD liked watching them make the drinks. There is fizzing, foam etc. A lot of those drinks are really something to see. There are so many details around the bar area to observe that you wouldn't see from the booth at the back. When she got tired of standing in one place, she just walked around a bit because there is so much to see in there.
I think of Oga's more as an experience than anything else. As far as snack-- there really isn't much there. We found most of the Batuu Bits quite disgusting. It was one of those- be brave enough to take a bite and then laugh kind of things. I will say the Oga's obsession- was really good---- kind of a lemonade, cotton candy jello with blueberry popping pearls. It was much better than I expected. The non-alcoholic drinks were also really good (I couldn't bring myself to go for the alcohol at 8:00 a.m.- DH did)
I would say book it knowing that it is more of a grab a quick drink and then walk around to see it kind of place. If it is later in the day, let the kids sit and rest a bit before you go in-- think of it as more of an attraction than a rest stop.
