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!
That little girl at ~47sec was SO reading from a sign. No little kid is gonna say "it's going to be a great experience for friends and family!" The little girl at the end was believable, at least.
Same as 7DMT and Mater then. So what was expected.Height requirements!
Slinky Dog Dash 38"
Alien Swirling Saucers 32"
Sorry if this was asked, how early were the Pandora previews? I saw the invites went out 3/24, Pandora opened 5/27. March will be full on thread stalking mode but thinking of June plans and want to make sure I keep us available.
Below is the full pre-opening Pandora schedule. Add 33 days and it may, or may not, give some insight into the TSL pre-opening.Sorry if this was asked, how early were the Pandora previews?
Absolutely!I'm an elderly Grandfather (70) and I drive faster than the Slinky coaster, but TSL is for the younger generation, even if they're adults. And although it's not FoP or RnRC, it will be a fun place. It embodies Walt's philosophy "I felt that there should be something built where the parents and the children could have fun together".
Thank you for this. I wasn't anywhere near WDW for the Pandora opening, so I wasn't paying much attention to the preview dates. I went in July. I will be there as a DVC/AP June 13th through 25th, so this breakdown helps with potential planning. In fact, if Disney uses the same playbook then my nephew chose the absolute perfect dates for our trip! Yippee!!Below is the full pre-opening Pandora schedule. Add 33 days and it may, or may not, give some insight into the TSL pre-opening.
Animal Kingdom CMs had the first previews followed by:
WDW CM preview, 5/5 through 5/12.
AP/DVC members, 5/13 through 5/22.
Press, 5/23 & 5/25
Dedication, 24th.
Random and limited soft openings, 24th and 26th.
Opened on the 27th
Oh, I agree, I'm just poking some fun.I'm an elderly Grandfather (70) and I drive faster than the Slinky coaster, but TSL is for the younger generation, even if they're adults. And although it's not FoP or RnRC, it will be a fun place. It embodies Walt's philosophy "I felt that there should be something built where the parents and the children could have fun together".
That's how I took it, and tell Hubby's elderly Uncle to slow down.Oh, I agree, I'm just poking some fun.
Its a kid coaster so not exactly thrilling.
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.
Oh no, we leave WDW on the 30th! I wonder if they will have soft openings before? That’s standard practice, right?
