It's funny, ABC News release listed the opening as June 3 - I'l guessing somebody left out a zero.

I saw that!

What a bummer we are there June 16-23 thought that was pretty safe. We are AP and DVC, but only 3 of our party of 8. I remember someone saying with Pandora AP was only passholders, but does anyone remember if DVC allowed you to bring those in party traveling on your points or only those listed on the contract?

 

[Elle :)]

Well, I guess any earlier AP preview will be out of range for me. We're going early May. On the good side, maybe this will be the trip I finally get on TSMM.

Does anyone remember when they announced the previews for Pandora? I know the previews were around May 13 but I don't remember when they were announced.

Good news and bad news. If, and it's a huge if, they do the same thing they did with Pandora, you're there at about the right time (Pandora was 5/13/5/22) for AP/DVC previews. That's the good news. The bad news is that you'll have to obtain the FPs, and of the total number of AP holders and DVC members, only a tiny percentage were lucky enough to get them.

Looking at the photos my guess is the weekend before the 4th of July. But it's just a guess.

Man I’m good

Well it is opening later than expected and it’s a Friday which is saved for less than stellar news....

NFL had passholder previews. I remember going to one.

You're the only one who remembers an invitation to a preview. Others remember getting to go in if they were in the area and got lucky to be asked to come in

Oh no, we leave WDW on the 30th! I wonder if they will have soft openings before? That’s standard practice, right?

Pandora really never had a soft opening right? I doubt this land will. We booked our trip for early June thinking it would be open

Right, Pandora did not have public soft openings. No idea what they'll do for TSL but I wouldn't expect them

Any word on what is supposed to happen with Toy Story Mania until TSL opens? I know they have one track and no Fastpasses starting April 9th but did we ever get confirmation that FP returns after May 7th or is that just a rumor?

I would assume they wouldn't want it down to one track until opening but with AP Previews and such, I am trying to figure out what to plan for our trip that ends on Memorial Day.

Sort of right when I figured actually, based on Summer 2018 on the website for the past few weeks.
Memorial Day is not summer, June 30th is, by about a week. So right on time, based on that.
I know, I know, Memorial Day is the unofficial start of Summer is most everyone's mind but it is still not Summer. But June 30th is.
Bummer for our end of school year trip though. Now we can only hope that it lines up with any potential passholder previews

Memorial Day is definitely Summer for Disney.

I expected early to mid June. The Friday news release means they want to later date to get less press.

My guess? They'll have the new entrance area reworked and access to the other tracks available again after 4/9, or near then. They'll leave the make shift entrance in use until the land opens but return to using all the tracks. Again, just my guess

 

[ITALIANNYC]

Hmm I can make 60 day fast passes first week of June. I assume they don't do fast passes when the park hasn't opened yet at that point?

Gonna have to mess around with my hollywood studios day when those come up

Thanks!

 

[Lost Yeti]

Hmmm....

So, if one is a silver passholder, would he/she have to purchase a day ticket to attend a possible AP preview? Their summer blockout begins June 3.

That's a real bummer for those passholders if so.

FPs for the attractions won’t come online until the land officially opens. So you wouldn’t be able to book these attractions until 60 days out from July 30th most likely.

A day ticket isn’t an AP so I’m not sure that would work.

You mean on June 30th I can book them.. Considering I will already have fast passes booked for the august vacation
