Obviously everything is speculation but if I'm there from the 13th-23rd of April I will be too early for any type of possible previews? A guy can dream!!! lol

Most likely yes but you never know.

Ahhh this was me last year! Was down for SWDS and found out about Pandora preview which was mere weeks later. Just meant I had to plan another trip

Checking airfare and the weekend before Memorial Day weekend has a ridiculous $88 each way sale for Sun Country. I'm tempted to book this four day weekend just in case they offer a preview and say "oops, I guess I have to go to Disney this weekend" if they don't. Win win right?

I just wish they would release the dates. I'm going near the end of September so I know, or hope, it will be open by then but I would love to see how it is all laid out. I do believe that all 3 TS rides will be tier 1 but hope that they at least put TSMM as a tier 2 FP.

If it's done the same way Pandora was, it was basically a lottery for all the previews. Being there during the previews didn't get you in. You needed to have a special FP. I even saw one of the top 5 WDW managers turned away, that's a true story. It wasn't until very close to opening day that they had random day guest previews.

I hope they don't make them all Tier 1 (also fingers crossed they drop BatB to Tier 2). I am planning for 2 MGM days in August. I can work with the two new rides being Tier 1 (SDD on one day and AS on the other), but if all 3 are Tier 1, that would mean I wouldn't be able to FastPass TSMM unless I could get it as a 4th (unlikely). Adding a 3rd day is not an option, so I'd have to do Standby or Rope Drop.

For those who like to speculate, if this is being planned to open for Memorial Day weekend, how long can they go before announcing it?

They could go until the day before if they wanted really.

That would be chaotic

Someone stated on the Facebook Passholders Group this morning that the FastPass block (to reroute the entrance) ends on May 7. I wonder if that means that Toy Story Land will be opening on the 8th? I would imagine that once the entrance has been rerouted, they wouldn't be issuing FastPasses until it opens.

It’s not expected to open on May 8th.

Although that would be a nice birthday present for me

adding to your speculation, I wonder if that just means that they'd start their CM previews, test runs, AP previews, etc. This is literally my ideal week to go but I can't book flights w/o knowing. (Fargo is a booger like that, too expensive)

When did they start previews for Pandora? Wondering if the pattern seems similar despite no announcement at the quarterly earnings report.

i just read on all ears that the press release for the summer stuff that was announced mentions toy story land "as summer gets into full swing". . .

i personally take that as mid end of june. not beginning of june or even end of may. so maybe preview will be memorial day ish? i mean 100 people can read what i read and come in with a different answer, but wanted to mention it if some missed this. . .

You’re reading a whole lot of specific from a very general statement. A Memorial Day-ish open is still the most likely scenario. Still, no one here truly knows.

 

[jimim]

i didn't mean anything by it that's why i said 100 diff people would read it diff ways. right i meant it's a general statement as you said.

we r there in june. if it's not open we will catch it in nov when we return.

I hope it is open for you!

That would fit with a Memorial Day opening. I believe the AP Previews started 2-3 weeks before Pandora opened.

[EDIT] Pandora was announced February 7th for a May 27th general public opening with AP Preview dates being announced March 24th. If they keep to that general schedule, we should hear something official very soon.

 

[jimim]

would be cool!
