Did someone here say that they are seeing it in their MDE? I don't see it in my MDE. I did print my confirmation page, but it just doesn't look right and now I am worried. I never received any email from Disney, inviting me to register or confirming that I have registered.

I just called the number listed on the confirmation page as I have not yet review an email either, and got my time slot confirmed about 2:45 minutes ago. What I was told is as long as you have received a confirmation page with your info you'll be just fine. And to give it about 24 hours to get your email. If not received, after that time call and they will resend it. The internet Dept is absolutely overwhelmed at the moment, anticipated by Disney, and not surprising. She said don't fret, all will be fine as long as you've got to the confirmation page. I took a screen shot for good measure. But anticipate an email within a day.

Haven't caught up, but has anyone posted that the CM previews will be May 5 through the 12 except for May 7th?

Will that be restricted to AK CMs-only or open to global CMs?

They probably won't allow CM Guest Passes. Oh, well.

I just realized something that really complicates the whole email and who gets them and who doesn't thing. Figure this one out
I have had an MDE account since they started it. I have DH on my account, along with DD, DGD and my Mom
No one else has an account, I control all the passes, tickets, ADR, etc
Well, we were staying at Swan last Oct and there was some glitch at that time where you couldn't complete any ADR with a Swan/Dolphin reservation on the account, returned some sort of unable to complete this transaction error. Instead of worrying about it I just created a 2nd MDE account, just to book ADR for that trip. The name is DHs, it's one of my lesser used email accounts. There are no tickets, passes, nothing on the account. I have DH and his AP on my MDE account.
Well, that account still gets Passholder emails. It's the only one that does get them.
The only possible way is they have matched his name on there with his name on his AP, even though the AP is not showing on that MDE account. And because there is no AP on the account, I can't book AP related events with it, like Passholder rates for rooms, or even the Passholder preview, using the link sent to the email account. The only place I've ever given Disney this email account is on that secondary MDE account that has never been used for anything but a few ADR in Oct.
How strange is that?

Are they sending an email for dvc to register for the preview?

I received the dvc email early this morning.

 

[ArielSRL]

I don't either. DH gets the emails so I just have him tell me when there is a sale I might like. Despite ordering from them a billion times- I never get emails.

At least I am in good company...

If you're referring to the AP preview, it stated that no modifications can be made once you register. The guest, if an AP holder, can register himself and try to get the same date/time.

The problem is the additional guest is only 4 years old and they dont have an account. I'll just bring them and see what happens

 

[AngiTN]

Ok, now I think Big Brother is here
I signed out of the little used MDE account and back in to mine.
Guess what I had to do as soon as I signed in?
I got a page to update my contact info!
Asked me to redo my account security questions and it had me recheck the box to contact me with offers.
Strange!

I suspect they'll be ok but I did notice that it said everyone attending must have an AP. Does the 4yo have an AP?
I know when I signed up it automatically included DGD8 because she's an AP holder and on my account.

 

[loveshak22]

Tom Bricker over at Disney Tourist Blog theorizes that this bodes well for soft openings late April. Don't despair!

I'm at WDW for a short 3-day trip and will be at AK May 9th and am so hoping with the opening for DVC/PHs starting the 13th that I get to participate in a soft opening while we are there!! That would be so exciting!!!

 

[randumb0]

Funny I've never received an AP email and I just verified that I'm opted in

His pass just expired and I was waiting to renew it just before the 30 days are up only because I know I won't be going in within the next couple weeks

 

[FastPasser]

All CMs can apply.

They probably won't allow CM Guest Passes.

CMs and their guests.

 

[gap2368]

Congrats everyone....so exciting.

Help!! My family is looking to go into AK May 30, its the only day we have available that works with all our other plans. The question is...Do you think they will have any more FPs left by next Friday for that date or honestly any other that week? I am planning my whole trip around this and I am thinking how can there possibly be any FPs left? I can't go to Akingdom our last day and I think that might be only option.

Thanks for listening and possibly advisiing..

I can get my FP starting Monday I do not think there will be any opened for the day I will be there ( I am coming Friday and leaving early Sunday morning, This is just an pandora trip, going down the weekend before for the preview, If can can ride both rides I may cancel the trip, After all Disney will get my money for a another trip.

 

[Tinkerbell7479]

Thanks so much we're booked!!! Can't wait!

If you're renewing an annual pass, it doesn't matter when within the renewal period, it will still expire 12 months (13 with the current promotion) after the original expiration date.

CMs and their guests.

Yay! That's perfect ~ I won't be left sitting at Nomad waiting around!

somehow got it to work. I was primary and other 2 family members guests. Got the confirmation email almost immediately.

FYI - I was having problems since I was not even showing under primary. I called the AP number and after an hour and 8 min on hold was told that if I did not have active AP already (not just linked) that it would not work - not allowed to make reservation. However, while on hold the system in a different browser populated my name and was allowing me to make a reservation so I knew that wasn't true. The agent was rather insistent though....but WAS able to make reservation with linked APs.

Never mind, I just got it. I registered at about 9:45 AM.

I see they have the extra magic hours added to AK on the Disney calendar. I feel left out we go in August. We do not have our hours updated and cannot get a ROL dining package yet because the have not been released.

 

[AngiTN]

By the way, just got my confirmation email
