When I saw this on the blog, I just scanned it hoping until I saw that it cleary says they won't be taking anyone on the ride.

Sounds more like a press preview for non press. Might be great for some locals.

Thanks for the bump disneylandkitkat. I've been so swamped at work by computer viruses that I hadn't seen or heard anything about it. I'll pop over and check it out.

Who else entered....

I did...but was it an extra blonde moment or was there no time? It sounds interesting. I know Cast previews for Star Tours are that following weekend, so expect Mermaid to follow. I'm more excited about this than ST...

 

[disneylandkitkat]

Well I guess I won. I just received an e-mail saying I could attend. Now the question is, do I? Is there a chance they'll let us preview the ride or is that not really a possibility?

I doubt it because so clearly it states that you won't visit or ride the attraction.

If you could wouldn't they say so in order to gather more media attention?

I was thinking maybe they were playing it down so as not to get inundated with people wanting to ride it early or raise hopes too high for those attending. I would be so disappointed if I went and it turned out to be people talking for 2 hours and nothing else. I could just watch that on Youtube and save gas and parking fees. I'm thinking maybe that I'll skip it unless I hear something different about it.

Cast previews start May 20, so I'd go with not a good chance of visiting the attraction.
