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

[Party.Of.4-NY>>>FL]

I think I've pretty much accepted the fact that the link won't be dropped this week. Tomorrow is the general public ability to book Candlelight Processional and I expect that will keep phone cms busy for a bit. Then the holiday is on thursday. I'm guessing next week sometime.

Throwing my own guess into the mix, I’ll say next Tuesday, July 9th. A.K.A. 709

Yeah, I'll be in Branson with my mom and sis. I'm sure it'll drop next week when I won't have computer access

Oh, and I'm betting they'll be a FURY of activity if it is 7/9

I already threw my guess out and was completely off base. I'm in the haven't got a clue, but hope it's soon camp.

The flights I was eyeing for the weekend before SWGE opens dropped and it is prime time to book! I'd hate to wait and lose them, but I also have no need to fly down with nothing planned. The struggle!

 

[Future_WorldPhonencian]

We are also struggling. We have a trip planned specifically for the opening in early September. Im not gonna cancel it without knowing whether or not we can get in to Passholder previews. Also the typical planning things like getting off work and travel are not things we can do at the drop of a hat. Cmon' Disney! be a little more considerate to the guests who spend the most time and money at your resort!

Come on now Rob, "no need to fly down with nothing planned"????? There's always a need to fly down and I'm willing to bet that if you think really hard, you'll have something planned

That is so true! I may already have some FP+ picked because I do have a resort reservation HAHA

I would honestly have booked the fights without hesitation if I did not just come back from a WDW trip Sunday and have an Oct and Dec trip planned.

7/7/19 would also be a fun guess since it’s 1977 backwards & the year Star Wars first arrived on the scene. But this year that’s a Sunday so I’m thinking that’s a no.

 

[Zeus'Headache]

I still am holding out for tomorrow, but I’m almost positive it won’t happen Maybe next week? Perhaps?? But the 9 and 10 I’m completely away from my phone for Preview(not this kind of preview). So I kind of hope it’s not either of those days!

DVC members are eligible to purchase discounted Platinum and Platinum Plus annual passes. Are members who purchased those passes, using DVC discounts, excluded? You're right, it's not debatable.

I suppose many DVC members purchase lower priced annual passes with some blackout dates. It kind of makes sense to black out what is expected to be a very popular advance event.

Disney could make any AP pass holder preview a VIP experience. For $$$ you'll get preview access, a light saber and/or droid and maybe even a meal. First offer it as a package including 2 or 3 night hotel stay. Offer just the free preview if there are any left.

Give it another year or so and we might see these kinds of preview packages.

Actually, the only annual pass DVC members get at a discount is Gold. So there would be zero incentive for DVC to purchase platinum or platinum plus unless they travel during Easter or Christmas (the 2 blackout periods).

DVC gets a discount on all passes and renewals.

DVC ran a special last year for Plat Plus APs for the price of Gold. That's what everyone is referencing.

 

[Jamiewils]

Quite a few DVC folks took advantage of the "free" upgrade to Plat Plus.

Me at my desk at the end of the day with no announcements yet again...

Interesting and appreciate this info. Don’t want to get off topic here, but do not remember this being an option when we purchased my family’s APs last year, and there was no deeper discount for renewing my platinum pass, so I opted for gold at that time as well. A bit disappointed I didn’t know this previously, but glad I know now!

Yes, definitely remember that platinum for the price of gold promo....too bad that’s long gone!!!!

Certainly won't be back before this is long behind us, I wouldn't think.

Feels like a 4th of July type of announcement.

As long as they do it before 2 I'll be stuck at work so works for me! lol

 

[Lewisc]

This is my guess as far as preview timelines based on the fact that I know CM start training in the land by July 20th
CM preview Aug 10th through 17th
AP preview Aug 18th through 24th
Media preview/events 24th through 28th

Disney needs to give media advance notice
Do we know if the media dates have been announced? Or when media invites have to go out
