This question and answer are at the bottom of the new blog:

Dear Jennifer, I have writen you an e-mail but I guess it’s easier to talk here
I am going away from orlando on Nov 19th in the morning, which is very sad but I have the oportunity to change my ticket. These previews are going to be for everyone in the park? Will we be able to visit the area already on nov 19th? I don’t want to miss it for a day! Thanks a lot for your reply

Previews are open to all park guests beginning on Nov. 19. The preview period means that attractions/experiences may have shorter operating times.

Pretty interesting answer! Will probably make a lot of Disers happy.

Yep, she also posted that a number of times in response to questions on the original blog announcing the opening dates.

Sorry if I may have missed it somewhere...... been quite busy at work....

But any rumors on the Passholders Preview??

I saw that there is supposed to be one..... just nothing more than that.... any rumors on dates, details, etc???

Thanks!

Zip so far, I check my passholder site almost daily. My presumption is that it will be the weekend of the 17th/18th or perhaps the weekend before, but I could easily be wrong.

I hope this is helpful.

There was a post on the DVC sub-forum from someone who got an e-mail from member services stating there was going to be a DVC member preview as well.

Hmmmmmmm??
Food & Wine ends Nov 12.
And Thanksgiving is Nov 22 with general public pre-views starting the 19th which is that Monday.

It would be nice to have it coincide with the last weekend of F&W ...Nov 10 & 11. that would be the only weekend I could go.

Oops...... just realized the 9 & 10 is Wine and Dine Half Marathon.

Well Disney...... come-on!!! what's your plans?

HUH?

That says it will grand open on 12/8.

Seems like a pretty basic detail to get right. Did something change?

As basic of a detail it is, I got it wrong. Rest assured, it is changed. Sorry. Nothing changed...I just had a "moment." Thanks for correcting me.

Sorry about that. I didn't realize that was your blog or I would have phrased that differently. I really thought I might have missed something. I actually AM a little surprised the aren't grand opening on a Saturday. And I really wanted to believe it too since our first MK day is the 7th....

No, thank you! I was giving out inaccurate information. Sorry, if I sounded snarky. Seriously, though, thanks for the heads up. It really is appreciated.

No problem at all. I just thought I sounded a little harsh. Glad it helped.

I don't know- 9&10 is a pretty busy/packed weekend already, but maybe they'll do it knowing lots of people plan to be there already?

Wine and dine half
Festival of the Masters at DTD
Last weekend of F&W
end of Jersey week
Veterans Day that Monday
golf tournament

You missed the change further down the page:

"As stated, Disney also revealed that both Pete's Silly Sideshow and Big Top Souvenirs would open on December 8 with the majority of 'New Fantasyland'"

I'm so anxious for them to release passholder previews information! If I could get in, I'm thinking of flying down for the day or so since I don't know when my next trip is, and I'm going to be at Disneyland when NFL officially opens. but the sooner I could get a flight the better....so release the info for me Disney!

Unfortunately we are just missing the ADRs, we leave on 11/17. But the fact they are taking ADRs for Nov 19th tells me they expect the restaurant to be in working order and completely operational----i mean, i doubt they would give you an ADR during this "preview" period and then potentially shut it down at certain times for tweaking.

They'd have some angry guests on their hands. That leads me to believe soft openings might happen the week before. Still holding out hope as you can see....if this, if that........

The blog article didn't say anything about potentially diminished hours or anything for BoG like they've mentioned before around this "preview".......
