THV Soft Opening?

[Mom_of_3_Pirates]

Are there any reports about THV having a soft opening? We'll also be there June 1st and just curious if anybody has heard of any soft openings.

We're also checking into THV's on June 1st.

We're at Kidani right now, and when we checked in here we spoke a little with the CM at the counter. She said she's scheduled to do a stay at THV's in late May. Something like 8 CMs will be in her THV.

Their requirements of course are to check everything out from the unit itself, such as electrical (lights, etc) to water systems, and on to transportation, and so on. They're to try to have any requests, questions, or needs that a typical guest might have, in order to see if the new staff is ready and properly trained.

This is basically what DVC has done for the openings of all the DVC resorts over the years.

While you might call this a 'soft' opening, it's actually a testing/training phase before the resort's actual opening. AFAIK it's only Disney employees taking part. I don't think it includes any real guests.

Thanks for the update! How cool to be at Kidani and then move on to THV. I will be taking my laptop just to keep up on your updates.

We have now entered our final 2 week countdown and can't wait to get there!! I was just looking for any other little tidbits before we arrive.

Sooo, while we anxiously do the countdown, I will lurk here on the boards for more info.
