That weekend happens to be my birthday, so I have booked.flights and hotel to go down whether I get in or not. I figure I will be going in August with friends anyway, so I plan to do a fairly low-pressure trip.
I entered the sweepstakes and I'm just realizing now that even if I'm lucky enough to get a spot, I may have a schedule conflict. Does anyone know what the different time options are? I checked all of them to increase my chances and now I can't remember what they were.
Just saw this on another website.... Disney is now selling CarsLand & Buena Vista preview tickets to Annual Passholders, http://disneyland.disney.go.com/spe...ture-grand-reopening-preview-for-passholders/ for June 9 and 10. Too bad our APs will expire before then. I'd gladly pay the $50 for a sure thing. Looks like we'll be crossing our fingers for the sweepstakes......
From the sweepstakes official rules..."Winners: On or about June 4, 2012, each potential winner will be notified by Invitation sent to his/her Address." Good luck to all!
Bumping this thread up since June 4th is the date (or around the date) that everyone should be finding out if they get preview passes! Good luck everyone!
Ditto. I got the e-mail. I was not chosen. Last year I was selected for the Star Tours preview but then was not able to make it at the last minute. This year I could have made it to DCA on June 11 but they didn't pick me. Oh well. I'm disappointed, but it wasn't meant to be for me.
