Tron AP preview thread

[SkyGuy]

So if you have a park reservation for Epcot and one at Magic Kingdom for the preview, then you can't join the 7:00 a.m. virtual cue for Guardians and still make your Magic Kingdom try and ride at 2:00 p.m.? I just want to make sure I understand how this all works. We're flying in early on the morning of the 12th. Arriving in Orlando around 8:00 a.m. I'm staying at the dolphin. By the time we get transportation, it'll probably be 10:00 a.m. I might have a shot at getting the virtual cue for Guardians, but I don't want to even try if it'll mess up my Tron ride. Tron is scheduled at 2:00. That way we can hop through Epcot and take the monorail over to Magic. I know we can get a bus too. All options are open. I'm disabled and use a wheelchair, so ground transportation is a little more complicated for me. It also means I'll be riding one of those accessible seats in the back of the Tron coaster. My family wants to ride the light cycles in front of me. Hopefully I won't make us all wait too long. I'm really really really happy that they created an accessible sea:t on this ride. I didn't think I'd be able to do Tron at all. I know I can't do flight of passage and it has a similar seating mechanism. Now if only they could improve flight of passage by creating a seat that is this "disabled friendly". :: hint hint :: Disney

Possibly. For GotG, the system chose Epcot as your park for the day over whatever other park you had reserved, even if the other park was reserved first. So, unless IT has fixed that somehow, you will be unable to book a VQ at Epcot because the system will think MK is your reserved park. You should be able to tap into Epcot before 2pm, but Genie will not recognize that as your first park for booking LL or VQ purposes. I had zero issues hopping back and forth between HS and Epcot well-before 2pm (a few times actually) during my Remy preview, but that was before Genie, so that didn’t come into play. It’s not going to mess up anything to try to get the VQ - I tried to book things in HS during my GotG and it wouldn’t let me; the system will just tell you you’re not eligible. If it’s magically fixed, it will be a nice bonus.

Thanks for the explanation. I'll be in the air when the 7am window opens so it's not a big deal. I can go on Monday instead. I doubt I'm getting much sleep that trip. Far too excited.

I called the passholder line this week to ask if this glitch has been fixed. She said it was but then said the latest they heard that day was that there were still some things they needed to tweak but they are confident it will be fixed by the time passholder previews begin. Honestly I'll believe it when I see it and am going in expecting to have to visit a blue umbrella that morning at the park we start at.

I’m very excited for my preview on the 10th! I have a pirate pass. I double checked the blockout dates. My friend did not and booked the 12th. It shows in the app and she got an email. I’m wondering if she’ll get denied entry at the gate

 

[Haley R]

Anyone planning on using rider swap during their preview?

 

[mmccan]

I was just curious if anyone has gotten their follow up email that tells where to check in at. I got my confirmation email the day I registered and it said we would receive another one 5-7 days out with check in instructions. My preview is on 3/4 (so 5 days from now) and nothing so far. I did get my park pass loaded but no follow up email about checking in yet. I assume there will be someone at the park entrance, like there was for the Guardians Preview but wasn’t sure.

My assumption is show up to the park entrance and if someone is there go there. If not go to the bushes by space mountain and you would probably check in there.

I hope we don't need anything else cuz I never got a confirmation email and forgot to take a screenshot!

Also on 3/4! I got the confirmation email at the beginning, I have not received anything else and no additional park pass loaded (though I’m also doing the AP preview a few days later and did get the additional park pass loaded for that one ) I’m just going to show the confirmation email and assume it will be fine.

I am also on 3/4. I never got the first confirmation email and have received nothing since. I did print (well save to PDF) the screenshot and our MK park passes have been added so I assume we are good to go.

 

[DL1WDW2]

I thought I’d go ahead and start this thread so we can start watching since they announced previews will be in March!

Compulsively keep checking … just in case.
I have noticed reports of AP&DVC preview guests needing to cancel .
The question remains of how to cancel and those dates that occur after the previews end... Will WDW add more dates ?

Great advice …

So just wanted to say , I'm staying here on disboard you guys are a friendly place...
So I was one of the few that received one day tickets to the parks so I could go to Tron preview on a Sunday.
I am a pixi pass holder.
I was just just. Scolded and put down in a FB group. I am sorry I didn't pay closer attention to the rules , I thought it wouldn't offer me times I couldn't go. ( Like the res. System) but I am so excited to go. I couldn't get in any other PH preview the last two sold out just as quickly

Preview is 3/4. Never received a confirmation email when I registered - but I did print the confirmation page. Park passes are added to MDE- but no email with more information (as the confirmation page stated there would be).

Same here! I called the passholder line on Sunday, and the CM said they are sending the emails manually, and it's taking awhile to get through them all. I at least got confirmation they could see the reservation and that the CMs at Tron will have access to the same information on the day of the preview.

Are any of you staying on property? I tried and they quoted me 980 a night for Pop.. as I'm looking off-site now

We’re staying CL at Wilderness Lodge for the D23 Tron Event for considerably less than that! That’s insane!

 

[DL1WDW2]

That is crazy…no wonder people are cancelling TRON preview event.
Was that package with tickets and airfare ? Haha but not funny.

$980 for Pop is highway robbery IMO. I'm staying at Saratoga Springs on DVC points.
