Who will be at the Sneak Preview of "Soarin" on April 15-17?

[Happy Birthday Cat]

We are going on the Eastern Cruise on April 16 and a while back figured we might as well go down and stay for a couple of nights before hand. How lucky can we get? We are checking into the BCV on April 14 and will be able to be in EPCOT bright and early on the 15th. Can't wait. We have never been at WDW for a sneak preview before.

Who else will be there too?

I just saw this yesterday in the Member clubhouse. And it coincides with my dates so yes, we are going!

 

[tinkerbell of winter]

WOW now that I know about it I will!!!

 

[WDWLVR]

We don't go until June - but just wanted to say you will love it! We did it out at Califorina Adventure and it is one of my favorite Disney rides!

 

[WolfpackFan]

Man, I'm bummed. We'll be about 2-3 weeks too early. I'm wondering/hoping they might be having some test runs when we're there. Soarin really sounds neat.

We always go in March & have missed all of the recent sneak previews. We were lucky years ago & went to a sneak preview of Animal Kingdom...it was the BEST, in fact we haven't enjoyed any subsequent trips to AK as much as we enjoyed that sneak preview.
However, we went to DL in 2001 and trust me, you'll love Soaring. It was the best attraction in California Advenure, the newest DL park. I can't remember how many times we rode it, but we started everyday there and it was the last ride we rode before leaving for the airport. In fact, we gave away 4 FastPasses for Soaring as we left the park, because we didn't have time to use them.

we will! and i am wondering my kid-on-wheels will be able to go? (we need a smiley face in a wheel chair..) anyway, we can't wait to see Soarin' !!!!!

 

[DisZip]

We are arriving late on the 16th, and had planned to spend the 17th at AK, as we will be staying at AKL for the first night, then moving to BCV.

I think we will skip out of AK early, go over to BCV to check in, then on to Epcot to try Soarin'.

Does anyone know what hours the preview will be open?

We're at BCV Apr. 3rd - 16th. Not that excited about Soarin' since I know the ride by heart and have personally visited nearly every location in the film. It is a great ride though and you're all going to love it (including wheelchair users). I'm just dissapointed that it's a direct lift from DCA instead of a new USA themed movie.

Oh well, if you hear someone sitting out playing the banjo (badly) stop by and say howdy.

 

[athenna]

Well know that I know about this I may be. I am arriving that afternoon and had planned on spending the first evening walking around the Boardwalk and probably having dinner at ESPN. May have to change around some plans, if dad is up to it.

 

[rsschneck]

We won't be @ WDW until the middle of May. I can't wait for Soarin! This is my FAVORITE ride @ CA !

For those of you who have never experience Soarin I HIGHLY recommend it! This will be a GREAT addition to Epcot!

 

[DaveT1]

Yes, we were very happy things worked out. Looking forward to it.

 

[Pig Pen]

We check into BCV on Sunday April 17.

 

[kathleena]

I could only wish. I was so hoping to have something going on Mar 3-11. Even the new slides at TL don't open until Mar 12th.

Last time I change my May trip for DH and DSIL!

 

[Mickeydad]

We'll be there on the 17th!!!

Can't wait.

I think there's a pretty good chance of that.

They held Cast Member previews last week, and rumor has it that some guests may be invited to ride as early as next week. The Land is still about a month from completion, so they're actually taking guests in through a side entrance.

Check out The Land while you are there and maybe you'll get lucky!

 

[dyingtodisney]

tjkraz- never thought we could be invited on early. we'll be in epcot early Monday maybe if we hang around long enough they'll put us on just to get rid of us

I couldn't believe our luck! We'll be arriving on the 15th, so we will be there for sure! I am also really happy that the flower and garden festival starts earlier now. It always used to start the day or two after we left. This year it starts the day we arrive! Yippee! We always travel the third week of April, come (you know what) or high water, so I was/am excited to see that it's starting at the beginning of our trip this time!

 

[Tiggerfan40]

We will be at SSR April 11 - 21 - (me, DH, DD, and niece) hoping to catch the Soarin Preview also!! Does anyone know if this is just for DVC members? We are bringing my niece and was wondering if she would be allowed to the sneak preview (can she go in my place)??
