Can anyone direct me to info about the AP preview? I have my confirmation email but haven't been sent anything else. Don't really know what I'm supposed to do other than show up??? Is there a DIS meet up anywhere? Thanks

My confirmation e-mail stated, "Passholders with confirmed reservations will receive an additional email with details on how to check in for this experience, by May 12, 2017."

I haven't heard about any DIS meetups.

And so that the preview day guests are not guinea pigs, AK CMs will experience the restaurant before all previews on April 20, 21, 25, 26, 27 and 28.

Hey, just noticed that today is the 20th, I wonder how it went?

Someone must know something by now! Anything?

 

[Cynister]

Any basic intel on Flight of Passage i.e. will it be sickness inducing? Are you on the ground the entire time? etc.

I have always seen it referred to as Soarin' like but a bit more intense

Awesome, I hope you are right!

I know at some point in the past there was a rumor of a soft open on the 22nd (tomorrow.). That rumor is DOA, correct? (I'm here now and my only "firm" plan for tomorrow is Wishes - not planning on AK but will gladly drop everything and run for Pandora reconnaissance...)

If Ryan or FastPasser had heard anything, they would have posted. I haven't seen anything confirmed for Earth Day/AK for tomorrow.

 

[CarrieR]

Thanks! I'll keep my eye on the thread in the early part of the day, but if no one's heard anything, I'm not gonna stress about popping back over there.

Appreciate the confirmation that I hadn't just missed a post!

Highly doubt anything for tomorrow. The earth day rumor started long before they announced the official opening and some were speculating that earth day would be the grand opening (not a soft opening day).

They very well could allow a few people in tomorrow though

I'm hearing people compare it to Simpsons at universal.

Nothing that I'm aware of.

Thanks!

CAS, the post I recall definitely discussed it as potential soft - I think it was cigar who posted it. This was probably late Feb/early Mar because it was before I booked my flights. Anyways, no big deal because clearly it was wrong - as rumors often are - or plans change.

Just figured if it was accurate, I could be "feet on the streets" and report back (plus contribute reconnaissance to my fall trips - lol!!)

Can anyone tell me if there are any fast passes remaining for Sunday May 28? Either ride? I'm staying offsite but hoping for an chance to get something. Thank you.

I'm hoping Disney has held some back and will release more opening day FP's at 30 day mark

Just curious if you were able to get FP for Pandora at 30 days out ?

Thursday, April 27th is the 30-day booking date for Pandora's opening day.

Those with an open 60-day window have reported FPs are no longer available for Pandora's Opening Weekend.

CAS, the post I recall definitely discussed it as potential soft - I think it was cigar who posted it.

My information from late February had projected today as the beginning of DVC/passholder previews, but not a full-on soft opening. Those later got moved back, and later on I received a correction that the events that had been projected for today were the special D23 guided tours rather than the DVC/passholder events.

In the end, *everything* got moved back as park operations revised the projections that Imagineering (my source) was going by. As far as I know, the current dates for all the various pre-opening events have been posted here by @FastPasser who has access to the more direct internal scheduling information. So those supersede the details that I had posted.

My DH works for a couple radio stations here in Atlanta and Pandora promotional material was dropped off this week. He just may have grabbed 4 sets of them.

Oh, and please excuse my stained carpet, as I have young boys and refuse to replace anything until they are much older, for fear of them ruining anything new.

I too have the confirmation email and printed it out but haven't received anything else. If there's something else we need to bring to the AP preview, I sure hope they send it out before the 12th. DD(8) and I will be on a plane at 5:45am on the 12th heading to Orlando and I'd hate to track down a printer at the resort to print something else out.

I haven't seen a list on the forum of who has what date and time for the previews.
Our date/time slot is May 13th from 3-5. Anyone else have that time slot or a slot on the the 13th?

While I enjoy The Simpsons Ride, I hope that FOP is more advanced than that. TSR always leads to me bouncing off of the walls with dizziness on the way out since the resolution of the screen is lacking - and I'm not one to get dizzy on those types of rides.
