Annual Passholder Previews REGISTRATION LINK IN FIRST POST-EVENT FULLY BOOKED

[PlutoFromJupiter]

So to clarify -- she indicated that the link won't be out in the next 30 days?

Right..hinted would be more the word I would use...but this directly conflicts with what the last CM I spoke with said which was I should keep an eye on the app and any social groups/threads like this because as soon as it hits people will start sharing / posting it...however the CM I just spoke with was from the internet help desk...I agree it does not seem to match with everything else I have been told/heard

I am so skeptical of what any CM tells me about something that has yet to happen. Phone level CM's are just not told what's going on, but they love claiming they know. Time will tell. They put out offers all the time that aren't emails directed only to those who qualify. I don't rule out that they're right, but I wouldn't bet 2 cents on it either. Good luck on getting a spot by calling. They'll be swamped. Just put the darn link up and be done with it!

Exactly. I have a hard time believing they will want everyone to call in. Wait times would be in the hours. There will be a link no doubt.

I do appreciate the information being shared but what does "it will be active in less than 30 days at this point...she seemed to hint the emails for "THAT preview" won't go out before then" mean?

 

[Kingoglow]

You just know we would all wait on hold all day.

I was wondering the same thing, I don’t follow this at all.

Absolutely! At least until I started reading reports that it was filled, which is exactly what would happen. Enough people will get the emails that it will fill up.

Perhaps. But, I can tell you, if I were on hold with a wait time of 2+ hours, I would be on here posting that the event was already full, hoping to knock some people out of the que...

I’m assuming it means that after one resets their preferences, it takes Disney about 30 days to, I don’t know, ‘fix’ the email system and add you. So this CM said not to worry because it should come out AFTER the 30 days. I don’t believe it for a second, but that’s what I’m thinking this means. But that would be crazy and Disney would have riots on Main Street if we could only call in. They know how bad their IT support and email system is...why would they need more of that? I’d be running to HS and screaming at the gates of Galaxy’s Edge...

I already increased the data plan on my cell phone from 4GB per month to 16GB per month just to accommodate the relentless refreshing.

We could start calling now! Maybe if we overload their system they'll give us some info!!!!!

Or they'll unsubscribe all of us from the eventual email. The Mouse does not reward mutiny

and on the flip side those Disneyland signups were open to everyone whereas this is only for Platinum and up AP holders so that is a different dynamic as well. Also, this is the 2nd land so is the draw/pull the same as for the very first Star Wars Land? Just a lot of variables that make it hard to tell

Right and WDW is MUCH larger than DL so the resort reservation system they used there would likely not be feasable here.

 

[cakebaker]

If true. then the first preview couldn't be before the 26th, days before opening and meaning no notice to AP holders at all. I don't buy it.

Thanks for warning all of us that anything you say can’t be trusted.

The comments above about calling and waiting on hold reminded me of something. For anyone that hasn't gone through one of these registration processes before (and assuming this one goes like those did), there may be a loading/waiting screen after entering your registration information where you're told not to refresh and provided an anticipated waiting time (usually 1-5 minutes). It's a pretty harrowing wait as you know that others are already in and making selections. There occasionally have been stories of people who never got past the waiting screen, but believe most of those were for people who come in towards the end after the event filled. Anyway, the more you know . . .

That reminds me of the Disney Studio Store Hollywood in-line pin releases...you would get stuck on that screen and nothing would happen

The TSL email went out approx 3 weeks prior to the event, and filled up within a couple of hours .

Honestly, I can't imagine doing something like that. I really hope you're joking. I hope all of us who are putting in so much time get in and are able to go.

The 26th would be 3 days not 3 weeks before the event. Hardly the same
