I’d imagine FPs would be released 60 days out. So no FPs until June 30th when the land opens.

rteetz, I'm so sorry but I'm completely confused by that answer. In the first part you're saying FPs released 60 days out, but then in the second part you're saying not until opening day. Forgive me for being dense, but I don't get it!

I know there won't *be* any fast passes usable until the ride opens on June 30th, but let's say you're going to Disney on July 10th. You think we *will* be able to reserve them 60 days out from 7/10, or that we wouldn't be able to reserve them until 6/30, when the land opens? I think you mean the latter, but I'm not sure. I figure we must know what they did with Pandora, so it would be a similar situation.

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

I never got the email, but read about it on the Dis and got a spot. The date on my confirmation email was March 24.

March 24th - thanks! Was off by a few days.

Yeah, by the time I got the email it was sold out.

By the time I got the email, all slots were taken. Thanks to the DIS, I had already reserved our preview!

Ok, so what I am gathering is that an email will eventually be sent out (assuming they do AP previews) but you are better off paying close attention to the DIS for directions on when and how to reserve your preview as they must post it before the emails are all sent out.

FPs are released 60 days out. You can book them for June 30th and beyond. So you can start booking those FPs on April 30th.

Correct.

Major question for me is how will they handle TSMM in May and June before the land opens.

Surely they won't leave it closed all that time or even running only 1 track.....can they??

I just can't believe there isn't a spot inside where they can merge from the current entrance into the new loading que without going into the new land. Have it setup with a door or temporary barrier that can be closed one night and open the next day June 30th. Sure seems like a simple task for a company as big as Disney. Unless there is other work to the actual ride or track that is.

I don’t see it closing. I’m thinking they might open a path to the new entrance prior to June 30th.

I remember last year when I went to book FP's for our July 4th week on May 1st the FP's for Pandora weren't available at 7:00 am and I was freaking out bcuz I had to leave for work. They were supposed to be available but there was a glitch and they were locked or something and didn't release. I kept trying to watch for updates on the DIS and texted a friend to help me keep watch for news on them. She texted me in the early afternoon when she saw they got it fixed and that they released but I was driving at the time! I pulled over and booked them on my MDE phone app!! It was so stressful.

No official word on meet and greets.

 

[Aron1012]

According to MousePlanet Toy Story Land will have meet and greets with Weezy, Jessie, Rex, and the green aliens.

Guessing those won't be part of any previews though?? So are Buzz and Woody staying somewhere else or being taken out?

 

[Wish Upon A Starbucks]

Can anyone book club level FP yet 90 days out who can see if TSM is available after May 9?

I haven’t seen anything on them yet.

This was based on the original version of the land though so meet and greets might have been cut with that. We don’t really know yet.

Toy Story Mania Entrance

I just realized that my stepmom will be with us and she does not have an AP. I feel bad but she is going to have to find something to entertain herself with for a couple of hours. We wont need a ton of time in the area and may not even do any rides if the lines are insane. Maybe I can convince her to sit at Brown Derby and enjoy some cocktails. lol Or we can go early/late and she can meet us or head back to the room.

 

[hiroMYhero]

You think we *will* be able to reserve them 60 days out from 7/10,

Yes, because they will be in the FP system at least 60 days prior to June 30th.

 

[randumb0]

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?

There was a huge line to even enter the park

 

[ErinF]

A little bummed that we'll be missing the land as we're leaving the 28th. I got an email from touring plans this morning saying the expected crowds for the dates we'll be there June 21-28 is lower for all parks. Do you all think that has to do with TSL opening the following week?

No--Touring Plans stated in a blog post earlier this week that they would be making updates to their crowd calendar this week. (https://blog.touringplans.com/2018/02/12/crowd-calendar-4-1/) I don't think they were aware of the TSL opening date ahead of time. But I got the same email early this morning (I have a trip in early June) and it did give me pause for a minute!

Your best bet is to stay current on this forum.

50-50 chance you get an email for it. For Pandora I saw on this forum that sign ups started and I went and signed up. It went live about 8am, I happened to check around 8:30. Sign ups were full by about noon. So it latest longer than I thought. I figured an hour or 2, but it latest about 4

My wife received an email about it little while after it opened and I never received an email.

So I'd keep tabs on this forum, followed by checking your email
