If you have an upcoming “eligible“ DVC stay or AP check your email for registration dates

 

[nomoretslt]

I received the AP email but not the DVC one. Will have to ask husband….he gets them and I don’t. We won’t be going again until May. On snother note, I heard the Epcot MM was really good this time.

Another preview option is with d23 if not DVC or AP. Tickets go on sale 2/15 for 3/18 preview.

Give her a hug from me…

They changed it for this one compared to the Guardians Preview ( must be staying on your DVC membership or cash stay through MS ) I will be there on on an II exchange so I am as of now excluded from DVC previews.

On a good note though my prediction was dead on accurate- my exchange was exactly the right timeframe…

Disney is charging for previews now? (you mentioned "on sale"). I am sure they probably could and people would pay it, but we shouldn't give them anymore ideas.

Move the cruise for a 30 second ride on a coaster? The coaster will still be there when the cruise is over.

Kinda, yes. But, not really. Cost is $57. It covers your parking, 6pm entry into the park, unlimited rides on Tron, refreshments and you commemorative keepsake.
Typically these events sell out in seconds, very limited number of tickets.

And yes.....NOT moving the cruise, told the kiddo the same thing, Tron will be there next trip.

DVC and AP holder. Received Email as an AP holder only.

So the $57 seems to only apply to D23? DVC and AP wouldn't be charged?

Correct. The D23 event is open to D23 Gold members only, and as noted above those events generally sell out in seconds if not milliseconds. For GotG the D23 event was more expensive and included more than just “refreshments” and a “gift,” although I can’t remember specifics now (we couldn’t go).

D23 almost always charges but their events are great…

Thanks for posting this! I knew the D23 GotG preview involved a lot more than the Tron one does. IIRC, it cost more too!

Not by much on the outlay it was $35 for GotG but ya got a $20 food gift card..

To be honest if I want flying in this tomorrow for Moonlight Magic with another upcoming full trip in 2weeks I would have jumped on this offer, I expect the cost of the ILL to be pretty high for the remainder of the year my prediction is $30 range all summer-

but even the dog would disown me if I went to this one. I was kinda shocked they didn’t have one for runaway train in DLR

Does anyone know if securing a DVC or AP preview messes with your existing park reservation? Or can you just go to both parks when they open?

In the past it did not - the preview does not require a reservation ( but does require VALID admission ie- pixie pass can’t go on a Saturday )
For example we had park reservations in MK last and just left and headed over to Epcot about an hour before our preview- I did have a printed copy of my confirmation just in case but didn’t need it.

- good luck gotta say if you got both emails I am a little jealous

Thank you...I had thought as much but wanted confirmation from someone who actually did it before messing up our existing park reservation.

I will be shocked if we get to use either...we're arriving at WDW just before Tron opens with no way to change our travel plans. But forewarned is forearmed and now that I know I won't be messing up our park (and thus dining) reservations I will give it a go.

saw it yesterday (well, the parts that were outside) from tomorrowland...looked very fast for a disney ride! and got a bit of a rundown from our tour guide (cast member whos been on it). she wasnt a fan for two reasons. one being it was a VERY short ride, and the other that the "bike" locks in both of your legs which she found extremely uncomfortable both physically and mentally.

Tour guide? Someone is getting the VIP treatment!!

Unless they were on the Keys to the Kingdom tour or another backstage tour (those are a little more affordable for us!).

I’ve also read that it’s very short and that the most exciting part is what you see outside. I’ve watched an online video showing the restraints and how to get into them, and they do look uncomfortable for larger calves.

So...in another forum someone answered my question and said that while it didn't mess with her MK park reservation, "It did mess with my Genie+ the day of my Guardians ride… I couldn’t use Genie+ in Magic Kingdom that day until after my Guardians ride in EPCOT so it wasn’t worth it and they gave me my money back for Genie+"

Food for thought

 

[TUGBrian]

yes, we did the VIP tour for the day at magic kingdom.

was very cool, not sure id say it was worth the cost, but very cool nonetheless! will say that we were able to ride just about every single thing in MK we wanted to (that a 5yo could ride) with practically zero wait!

 

[ljmiii]

The AP Preview is March 4-12. Ah well...

 

[AnnaS]

My husband just looked at his email yesterday - he only looks at it every few days - he did receive the DVC email. I did not even think of asking him when I received my AP email. It makes no difference, we are not there during the preview.

Yeah we had no issues with using genie + or DAS during guardians preview- our reservation that day was MK…

**********side note did anyone else get a spot********

we are going with the AP preview- seems this time around DVC could only go with points reservation or reservations made through MS ( DVC discounted cash stay ) lots of unhappy owners with the changes
