We were disappointed too. Mine Train was down for almost the entirety of the exclusive time. (this was January 31) Like someone else said, we were able to use our bands as fast passes until noon, but that meant we had to skip our other plans for the morning. It also turned out that my daughter was terrified of the Pooh ride - seeing the heffalumps that large was too scary. (go figure) They did have the carousel running, so she rode that 2 or 3 times and we did Peter Pan 3 times. Mine Train was still down, so we ate breakfast. By the time we finished breakfast, Mine Train was running, so we got one ride before the rest of the crowd was let in. Really a bummer. Disney needs a better system for the event - it seems like lots of people are having the same experience. I don't think I would do it again unless Mine Train was always up and running.
