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.

My guess is somehow they will return access to all 3 tracks but leave the modified entrance they are currently using. Though they aren't down to 1 track yet, right?
Anyway, If there is anyway they can keep it running with 3 tracks once things are reconfigured inside I'm sure they'll return to all 3 if possible. Or even 2 of them (they are running 2 right now, right?)
Maybe they already know what they can get back open and that's why they have it set to only remain standy by till May as it is

Yeah not down to one track until April. Right now they are running two.

I will be there June 24-July 1, so we could go to Toy Story Land, if we feel brave. Does this mean when my FP window opens, those Toy Story Land ride fastpasses will be available, even though my window opens prior to April 30th?

Your booking window will include June 30th.

Booking will be dependent upon which day in April they release the TSL FPs.

For Pandora, guests with 60+ open windows could add in the Pandora rides as soon as they became available in the system. You’ll have to watch for the exact day in April in which they are projected to be bookable.

So just booked a trip July 5th-8th at Art of Animation for a quick trip to check out the new land and rides and the water parks. Hopefully I will be able to book FPs for the rides at our 60 day mark. We have a trip planned in April where we plan on upgrading to APs Platinum. Somehow I don't think it will be in time get an AP preview slot booked. So excited!

I will be there June 30th. That is my BIRTHDAY. My 60th. This is great! Do not care about crowds, will be there. Hopefully with a FP+ for Slinky.

Yup, understand all of that.

I'm not talking about an inability to get into the park during a blockout date but the inability to access a pretty big perk. If I were a silver passholder, I wouldn't mind paying for a day ticket to enter the park so I could use my AP status to access a preview. My question regarding validity is about if that means you are currently an AP holder OR valid for access to the park itself. So, if it's the former, someone with a silver pass should still be able to register provided they have a valid ticket.

The precedent is that you have access to your AP perks even if you do not currently have access to the park with your AP (merchandise/dining discounts and, if you have a gold pass, photopass). Granted, this is a special circumstance. Just curious if anyone KNOWS from experience or employee knowledge.

I'm going to drop this now - I feel like I'm pulling this a little off topic. Carry on

Silver pass holder here. I feel like if you’re going to be paying for a day ticket to enter the park I’d just upgrade to a gold pass.

i just read on all ears that the press release for the summer stuff that was announced mentions toy story land "as summer gets into full swing". . .

i personally take that as mid end of june. not beginning of june or even end of may. so maybe preview will be memorial day ish? i mean 100 people can read what i read and come in with a different answer, but wanted to mention it if some missed this. . .

jimi

Can you pick some lottery numbers for me?

(Sorry it may not work out for your June trip.)

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I haven't been on the Disboards for awhile. We'll be there the first week of June. Any chance of a soft opening while we are there?

No one knows of course but there were no soft openings for Pandora so the assumption is there will be no soft openings for TSL either.

if its that slow, I wouldn't even fast pass it

 

[AFwifelife]

I know it's going to be an unpopular opinion but I'm glad to see Slinky looking like a smaller kid-friendly ride. Right now the only thing I can do with my preschoolers there for rides is TSMM.

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.

Thanks -- that's a big help to me. I'm going to stress less about whether or not we get a passholder preview knowing we've got those FPs we can book for July, you know what I mean?

Really hope it's going slower for test runs.

Barnstormer looks more thrilling than that video to be honest.
