Epcot F&W CM Preview

[andyman8]

In previous years, the F&W Festival has started a day earlier than the posted opening for a "CM preview" that was really just a general preview for all. I know the schedule's a little different this year with F&W starting on a [ETA: Wednesday] earlier in the month, so does anyone know if this'll still be happening or not? Thanks!

I asked my manager about this last week and the answer was "Nobody knows yet." I guess we'll see.

I think it will start Tuesday cause the ap site says that the complementary glasses can be picked up starting on the 13th . Even though you have to visit the festival 3 times before picking up the glass

We will be at Epcot on the 13th, is the Festival open for the public as well?

I will also be at Epcot on Tuesday and am hoping the preview day is going on as well. While none of the seminars or anything are open, a lot of the booths usually are.

I would assume that some CMs would need to know by now since they'd be scheduled to work?

I think there is always a soft opening to make sure everything is good.

I have no clue what day schedules would come out but wouldn't surprise me if they don't know until the end of this week.

CM schedules come out 2 weeks in advance, every Sunday. If CM are working the event next Tuesday they already have the schedule. Still doesn't mean there win't be a preiew, maybe the CM working the event are told not to say anything about it

I am really hoping that the preview day will be held next Tuesday. We leave on Wednesday, so that is my once change to hit a few of the booths. Crossing my fingers!

Out of curiosity, in past years, has the festival center also been open on the preview day?
