Annual Passholder Previews REGISTRATION LINK IN FIRST POST-EVENT FULLY BOOKED

[BigBadDisneyDad]

Yes, we discussed this recently.

I missed it. My apologies...

Is anyone else concerned that a lot of APs will register for the preview, but not attend the event? I'd really hate to miss out due to someone else reserving a spot and not using it.

I feel like people who register for this will really go. I know that if we can secure a spot, we certainly will! I’m more concerned about getting a spot to start with...

 

[Zeus'Headache]

No big deal! I’m not too worried. Will people be mean and do it? Of course. But there will also be generous people who know for a fact they won’t be able to attend and WON’T sign up. The closer we get to the preview dates, the less likely people who aren’t scouting these boards will be able to attend/sign up. All I’m saying is that since a lot of people aren’t watching all the time like us, we will be able to get in there faster, book our spots, and then there will be barely any available for those ‘waiting for the email’.

I also didn’t know that. Sorry! Been at WDW all week last week & only caught up on the last few pages.

Good point. I hope you’re right!

Nature of the beast. Disney doesn’t give much notice, they sell out lightening quick and so it’s inevitable people will book first, then try and make it work. I may well be one of those. I wish they did a wait list and cancelling would help if you find you can’t make it work. I doubt there are many who book with no intentions of going.

I just booked Pop for 8-12 to 8-14 since it was available. Hoping to go then or the following week... so tired of refreshing.

So - what usually drops first - the link online (posted to My Disney Experience under Annual Passholder Special Offers) or does the email drop to everyone's inbox first? Or is it more simultaneous? I may have missed part of this discussion earlier.

Link has always dropped before the emails.

Usually by the time you get an e-mail the event is sold out/full

So true. Like the book your FP email that comes a couple of weeks after your window opens. Thanks Disney!

Passholder page not loading?

Loading fine here.

 

[AngiTN]

Very much so.
People without reservations. That intend to go, but ultimately can't make it work.
Dare I say you need a reservation. Then open up to people without reservations?

You mean you should need an on site reservation first? No way. It's not required to be on site to attend so that's totally unfair and would never happen, not should it

Loading fine here.

It's back. I thought something was happening. Silly me...

So I thought I read that commenting #stay on the groupme wasn't necessary, that removing people was disabled. But I still see people commenting and seeing people being removed for inactivity. I don't want to be annoying and add to it, but don't want to get booted either. Anyone know if it's necessary?

Welp - now I'm going to be furiously refreshing like crazy.

Agree that they shouldn’t require it for APs as that wouldn’t be fair to local passsholders, but did just want to note that it WAS a requirement for the DVC Pandora previews, so it’s not without precedent. (And we’ve also discussed that a good many local passholders are likely gold or below, so......)

I figure if I'm getting notifications that it's all good. And when I did #stay it said I would be enrolled until I said I wanted to leave. I think some folks forgot the # or just didn't read further to realize they need the #stay.
