Oh I am just hoping they have it open when we are there...we check out on the 1st. We have APs so hopefully we can see it with that preview. We just decided on the trip last night and my main reasoning to convince DH was so we could see the new FL and take his mom on her first ever trip.

Oh my gosh! We will be there the week of the 19th and we are AP holders! I'll be keeping an eagle eye on the Passholder website and my email for a chance to reserve spaces for my gang to go to that preview!

People that are more familiar with how previews and soft opens might know but if they say preview, is that the same thing as a soft opening? Do you think they will do a soft opening during Thanksgiving week? I am just wondering if they have the 6th date in mind knowing they need to at least offer some sort of peek to the Thanksgiving travelers, a lot of who probably were hoping to see it based on Disney's talk of "Holidays" in Fall 2012.

We will be there the week after Thanksgiving so what are my chances of seeing it?

 

[A MK Family]

So disappointed! We are there until Nov. 11th. We are going to miss it by 8 days!! My DD is so into Belle right now!

Oh well, hubby says we can go back in the spring!

It will be great regardless!

 

[Nature Mom]

With this announcement, how many of us are already looking at a quick December trip? Hoping for a good bounceback offer when we leave the Pop! I will be using it for December! lol So excited for this announcement, now I don't feel let down after the Pete's Side show announcement on the blog from earlier.

 

[LUVMICKEY]

We are so excited. We will be there on that day

 

[N&B'smom]

I have one very heartbroken little girl. We leave less than 12 hours before the grand opening.

Does anyone know if they ever have previews for DVC people?

The Soft opening is mid November I think

 

[Royal Consort]

I'm a bit confused. What does "Previews" mean? Previews for all guests? We'll be there until Dec 3rd - do you think there's a high chance of being able to see it?

Or is Previews referring to the CM and Annual Passholder first-look?

 

[katiemely]

We will miss it on our September trip but have mnsshp to look forward to. Good thing I booked a room for valentines day. Hoping to get an ADR for bog!

But it doesn't say 'soft opening' it says previews. And we already got info a few days ago about AP people getting a sneak peak starting in Nov.

Believe me, I want it to mean a soft opening but I just don't think it does.

 

[Senator Tressel]

Pass holder previews and soft openings are two completely different things. It's possible there would be no soft openings, but not likely.

I saw this posted by a reliable source on another board:

"Yes previews seems to have become the more friendly name for soft opens. It is open, but may potentially have closures until it is fully officially open. "

So it's possible that Nov 19th date will be for public previews.

Although this calendar has become less important I thought I would update it with the latest information. The darker the color, the greater chance it will open in that month. These dates are for official openings, not soft openings or previews.
