Hmmm....

So, if one is a silver passholder, would he/she have to purchase a day ticket to attend a possible AP preview? Their summer blockout begins June 3.

That's a real bummer for those passholders if so.

I would assume silver passholders wouldn't get the email since they are blocked out during that time.

You mean on June 30th I can book them.. Considering I will already have fast passes booked for the august vacation

June 30th would be the day you can book them for. April 30th is when you could book them for that date most likely.

 

[SaintsManiac]

Sort of right when I figured actually, based on Summer 2018 on the website for the past few weeks.
Memorial Day is not summer, June 30th is, by about a week. So right on time, based on that.
I know, I know, Memorial Day is the unofficial start of Summer is most everyone's mind but it is still not Summer. But June 30th is.
Bummer for our end of school year trip though. Now we can only hope that it lines up with any potential passholder previews

This is what I thought, as well.

A day ticket isn’t an AP so I’m not sure that would work.

Right, but wouldn't this fall under an AP "perk". While they wouldn't be using their AP to enter they still are an AP and should still be entitled to those perks.

I.E. - They would still get their merchandise discount/dining discounts even if they enter during a blockout.

There goes my passholder preview

You have to sign up for AP previews. You likely wouldn’t be able to use a Silver pass for that even if you bought a one day ticket. Silver pass holders probably won’t be sent the sign up info.

Pandora's preview said guests must present a "valid annual pass." Wouldn't that mean it needs to be usable for entry?

My pass was scanned for Pandora's preview.

For NFL, I had a confirmation email.

That's the big question.

I would assume a large percentage of local passholders have the silver pass. If they are also "blocked out" from a preview I would think that would be PR/customer relations nightmare.

 

[disneydreamer781]

For the most part I'm relieved. We're booked May 22 - 26 and at least I'll get to enjoy DHS without all that extra mayhem. We'll get a chance to see it on our December trip instead.

Sorry if this is a repeat question, but when did the Pandora AP preview emails go out after the opening date was announced?

I think it was the end of March. I want to say March 29th.

That being said, if you wait for the email it might be too late

How so? FL residents may purchase a pass without blockout dates just like anyone else.

Anyone care to speculate what the crowds will be like that weekend? It’s already going to be extra busy because it’s the weekend before 4th of July and now this.

What were Pandora crowds like opening weekend?

 

[BigB0882]

We will be there the week before. Is there really a chance for them to do previews for AP holders? We have the Platinum pass and would be THRILLED to get a chance to go in and see. Even if we can't get a FP and don't ride a single thing, I would just like to be able to see it and walk around. I'd go do the other rides with no lines, haha.

This might make attendance a little more tolerable in the other parks that week as a lot of people might move their vacation to the next week to try and get in for the opening. Or maybe attendance will be insane as everyone tries to get in for the previews and avoid the park the next week. We shall see!

 

[BigB0882]

Oh, and if we have an AP but have not activated it yet (will not activate until we get there in June), will we still get the AP preview email or does that only go out to people with currently activated passes? Do you even need the email or is anyone with an AP allowed in during that preview time?

 

[AFwifelife]

Pandora's preview said guests must present a "valid annual pass." Wouldn't that mean it needs to be usable for entry?

Ugh my AP isn't going to be activated until May. Will that exclude us from the "valid" part?

Disney chooses their block outs purposely. I wouldn’t think this would be a PR nightmare. When you buy that pass you know you won’t be able to visit all the time.

I'm guessing insane crowds.

It shouldn’t. Your pass is valid just not activated yet.
