Expedition Everest Email!!! :banana:

[dani0622]

I JUST got an email from "your Disney Travel Planner" that said since I'll be staying at a WDW resort for my upcoming stay I'll have a chance to experience EE!!! They better not be pulling my leg!!!!!

 

[Poohbear123]

Great site!

 

[lovetoscrap]

and dashed over to DIS to see if anyone know what it means? Immediately I thought that it might mean that those at the resorts will get special preview opportunities to ride, but when I read it again I realized that I think it just means they are sending the Preview website information to those on the "current guest" list and has nothing to do with whether we will get to ride or not. Anyone have any more information about this?????


The text reads:
Thrilling Disney news for you, !

Since you'll be staying at a Disney Resort hotel during your upcoming Walt Disney World® vacation, we wanted you to be among the first to know about some exciting news: You've got the chance to get a special sneak 'peak' of Expedition Everest, the mountainous new attraction at Disney's Animal Kingdom® Theme Park!

So be sure to pack your thrill-seeking sense of adventure. And your nerve. Because this Everest isn't just a mountain...it's a high-speed, high altitude train ride that sends its passengers racing forward, backward and right into the path of the mountain's guardian—a fierce Yeti (a.k.a. the Abominable Snowman). You can bet that more than the wind will be howling.

Before you set off on your journey, gear up by visiting disneyeverest.com for all things snow-capped and colossal, like:

Yeti Vision See the attraction through the eyes of a Yeti

Behind the Scenes Check out how the ride was brought to life
"Mission Himalayas" This look at a real expedition to the Himalayas illustrates what lengths (and heights) we went to in making the attraction chillingly authentic
It's just one of the new additions to Walt Disney World Resort during the Happiest Celebration On Earth!

I got one too...read the bottom- I think it means we get to ride it- it says before you set off on your journey, gear up by visiting disneyeverest.com for all things.....

so to me it means visit the website first before you ride.

At least I hope it does,

does anyone know??

leaving 2/4-2/11

 

[njchris]

I got that too. I'm going feb 3rd-11th. But it doesn't give any specifics on what you need to ride.. I would guess a valid room key.

I did not read that as an ad for the web site. If they did, then it's a cruel email because it doesn't specify a sneak peak at the website.

 

[PooohBear]

I got one too !!!! my dates are Feb. 1 - 6, I am WAY excited now !!!

 

[heimlichfan]

me too, me too, me too, me too!!

And yes of course I jumped right over to the Dis to see who else got and what it meant.

We'll be there the Feb. 2-5 - one week from today!!!!!!

So, at any rate, what does this mean, how do we know when we can go, do we actually have to SHARE the ride with people who are not crazy DISsers, etc?????

 

[Lancer]

Add me to the list! Feeling the magic Feb 5th-11th. I hope someone can find any details if it is indeed a ride oportunity.

 

[monetnj@mac.com]

Oh well, for a second there I thought I was special. I got one too. Will be there Feb. 10-15 to celebrate my birthday.

 

[ryanmilla]

Man, I didn't get one and I'm going to be there Feb 12-17. Does that mean I can't ride? I'm staying onsite, but at OKW through my DVC points. I'm hoping that they will be doing soft openings. Here's hoping....

 

[TXMommy]

I want one!! We will be there March 12-18. DH and DS would LOVE to ride EE - I'm still trying to decide if I'm brave enough......

 

[LordAthens]

Any chance someone might be willing to forward one of those email's off to me?

 

[Rudegrle]

Ooh, Ooh, Ooh!!! I got an email too! I am not sure what we need to ride, but this so makes up for us missing the AP preview by one weekend I hope it's not just a tease to get my hopes up...I really want to ride EE

What are your dates? I'm trying to figure out if only those who are going the first 2 weeks of February are getting this email? I'm not arriving until 2/17 which is the beginning of President's Day weekend. I have a weird feeling they may not be doing soft opening that week due to the high crowds. I hope my feeling is wrong!

 

[TravelGrl]

I didn't get the email but will be staying on site Jan 31 - Feb 8.

If anyone hearss of any soft openings that time - or what times of day, please share.

 

[d4est]

Hmmm...I didn't get this one. We will be there 2/1-2/7. I did get something similar about a month ago, saying that we might get a sneak peak at EE. Here's mine:
The February vacation you wished for is starting to materialize!
Have a Ball.
Ever since we heard you were considering a Walt Disney World® vacation this February, we couldn't wait to tell you about all the fun that will be going on in all four Theme Parks. Beware! You may find yourself taking a sneak "peak" ride on Expedition Everest-Legend of the Forbidden Mountain,™ a new high-speed trek through the Himalayan unknown where the Yeti lurks!

This was dated 12/24

I JUST got an email from "your Disney Travel Planner" that said since I'll be staying at a WDW resort for my upcoming stay I'll have a chance to experience EE!!! They better not be pulling my leg!!!!!

I wonder if that means it MAY only be open during morning of night EMH's for AK.

 

[RamonaB]

I made a reservation directly with Disney and rec'd a packet in the mail earlier this week that said I'd be able to take advantage of a sneak peek while I was there--Feb. 11-18. I've heard elsewhere that sometimes these sneak peeks only take place in the morning hours or at selected times during the day. Any CM's know for sure what will be happening? Thanks.

 

[Petmd]

OK- so we all are going within the first two weeks of Feb and got an email- for those of you going later in Feb.- I would guess you won't be left out, but will get that same e-mail later...but then again who knows.

My DH and DS can't wait- WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?? WHO CAN HELP US??? We really wanna ride- will it be on EMH for AK or what?? WHO CAN WE ASK?? I printed mine off to take with so I can ask when we check in.

If anyone knows, please share

[trypnotic]

I got an email too. We're staying at POP from Feb 3-6. I'm still unsure of the details?? I'll likely just print off this email and ask about it when I check in.

I was so excited when I got the email that I had to go tell someone! I happened to receive it on my mobile device while I was walking at the Mall of America so I rushed to the Disney Store to gloat
