What a crazy morning! I can't believe how crazy it was ... running DVC and AP at the same time was definitely surprising. I was in the DVC queue with multiple browsers and NONE of mine were anywhere close to the front of the line - Maybe bad karma from Disney for leaking that DVC link early?
At the same time the DVC queues were loading, I heard the sound that plays to say it is your turn to enter the website, I was going crazy looking through the DVC ones to see which one had loaded and I couldn't find one - and then I saw a post that said the AP previews were also live.
As we were approaching 9am, I happened to load up a bunch of browser windows with the AP link and they were all hitting, telling me it was my turn - I finally figured it out and was able to grab May 8th which just so happens to be the last day I'm at WDW.
Then had to convince the wife to change our flights, extend hotel and rental car ... phew, I hope I didn't forget anything!
I still don't have a confirmation on my AP preview though - but I know it processed because when I tried to go back into the AP Preview link to see what the dates were (I clicked so fast I didn't remember what they all were) - it said I had already registered. I do have a screenshot and PDF of the website confirmation though (thanks to whoever recommended that!)
Been a fun filled last week or so since the original preview email dropped checking every day to see if the preview went live - congrats to everyone who got into the preview - now I'm moving on to trying to get Moonlight Magic at Hollywood Studios, another nail biter but at least I know the date/time ahead of schedule!
I'm exhausted from all of the excitement - I wish I could go take a nap!
