SWGE AP previews - Meet Ups

[Haley R]

Important topic. Blue and Green Milk. Who’s going to try it?

I just read a story on wdwinfo that they’ll have an alcoholic version at WDW at the Milk Stand.

I probably won’t be rushing over there to try the alcoholic version at our 9am preview but I might try the regular blue milk. Someone commented on the article that they changed the blend a bit for WDW and it tasted like a creamy raspberry icee. That actually sounds good.

If it's gonna taste like a raspberry icee I will definitely be getting one! No matter what I think we'll plan on trying at least one of the milks. Is it the blue one that is generally liked more?

Someone on FB reporting that there’s only 200 people per time slot/experience. Does anyone believe that?

That seems awfully low to me.

Agree.

I'm of the opinion that it would be about 1000 per time slot. With the overlap they might go lower. They may not want it to look overcrowded but they don't want it looking deserted either. More likely it was 200 for Oga's & Savi's per slot.

This is one of the few things I think my 6yos will like so my current plan is to let one grown up go get in line for the ride while the kids check out both the milks with the other grown up, and then swap adults and hope there is some sort of cool food to distract them with while the second rider is in line.

Yep and the emails went out at 10am. The Savi’s and Oga’s options definitely sold out before 11:30, they were the first to go especially on the weekend dates.

Oh, I had an alert set up so maybe I got in at 10:30. I logged in immediately after receiving the email but sat on the holding page for a while. I'd guess about 30 minutes but maybe shorter, I was freaking out lol. I was also on vacation in a different time zone so I have no clue what time it actually was! Either way, when the page finally did load I couldn't scroll at all and just hit "enter" until I got a confirmation. That's how I accidentally registered my whole family too.

I know you've been wondering. This pic from D-Cot shows the line to check in for CM preview. Plan accordingly, an umbrella is a smart idea. If you've done any type of event where you get scanned by a CM with a Pad it's the same process

I wonder if there are general guests who are joining the line because they think they can get in.

that is a possibility but I don't think it would be that many

Which time slot is this? 5-9?

 

[The13thLetter]

Wonder how long it look to run through all those people in line and if there are more CMs in their time slots than will be in our AP ones. Its also the first day so maybe it will get faster as each day passes.

The photo was posted at 10:49 am so im assuming the 11am slot

Hmmmmm I wonder if I can carry my Disney parasol onto my spirit flight. It won't fit into my bag....

I wonder if they do the 9am check in outside of the park or if you have to walk over and get in line at GE to check in. Any CM reports on that today?

Someone may have posted that I didn't see but HS map on MDE of Black Spire is showing now instead of woods.

Thanks. I thought it was probably common knowledge. I haven't checked the board today while at work.

As we're getting closer - almost 2 weeks away - trying to figure out our arrival plans for our day in GE - We are in the 9am preview on the 17th. What time would you think is good to get to DHS? I was thinking 7am? Might splurge and really treat ourselves with a Minnie Van that morning. We're coming from WL if that makes any difference. That way we can be towards the front of the crowd? I'm also unsure if we will check in outside of the gates to DHS for the 9am time slot or if we will be kept with the masses and have to veer off to the left when they let us in? Is check in for the preview at the actual tunnel into GE? Anyone know how the 9am preview CM time slot has been handled? SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seeing everyone’s posts on FB of the CM Previews are making me equally jealous, excited, and impatient
