The DVC preview at the end of January is very vague. Do you think you'll actually get to ride EE? It just says you are invited to attend a "special preview" of EE. Anybody ever gone to a preview before?
 
That is an interesting point....One could assume that it should include a ride on EE, but who knows! Maybe it is purposely worded that way just in case the ride is not available. I was at AK on 1/3 and they did have cast members that were riding EE for a commercial shoot. I spoke with another CM that said he was going on it on 1/6 for another commercial shoot. One of the CM at EE was very vague (to the point of looking foolish) and another came out and was actually answering questions to the best of his knowledge. There was a number of people (later found out castmembers for the commercial shoot) getting a guided tour of the entire back area. It was interesting to stand there and listen to the info. We saw the ride run empty, and waited about another 1/2 hour to see if the CM's rode, but we decided not to wait any longer. One lady said her daughter was an intern through college and she was waiting to see her on the ride.

The CM that was going on Fri was waiting to see his roommates ride, but he said his break was over and he had to get back to work. He figured the "empty" run did not go as well as they wanted since it was taking so long.

Another group of CM's (I am guessing about 30) showed up and were let in a little door in the wall. It was very quick, line up, show ID's, let through door, door shut........

Wish I could go back to see the EE preview!
 
You will be able to ride.

We have attended several previews in the past. The most recent being Soarin. You can expect long lines, but at least fastpass will be available for Everest. The day we rode Soarin the fastpass machines were not working and had an 80 minute wait.
