Ugh. I hate the suit so much - but mostly because of the comics. I am pro-hood-and-cape Moon Knight.

What do we think, will AP previews be before or after May 15 (or both??)

I really hope before, like first week of May before, otherwise I'll just miss.

UPDATE: D23 Reduces Number of Tickets Available for Purchase for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Preview Event​

After initially offering up to 4 tickets for purchase for the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind preview event, Disney has reduced the number of tickets available for purchase to up to 2 per Gold Member.

When the event was announced yesterday, D23 members were shocked that Disney would allow the purchase of up to 4 tickets – effectively limiting the number of actual D23 members at the event.
D23 was, confusingly, shocked at the demand for a preview event, and had to issue the following update:

Due to overwhelming interest and demand, D23 Gold Members will be limited to two (2) tickets per member to allow more D23 Gold Members the opportunity to attend the event. Both Gold Primary and Affiliate members may purchase up to two (2) tickets each with a Gold Duo Plan.

Disney Utilizes My Disney Experience In-App Survey to Ask Guests About Disney Genie

In the survey, Disney wants to know how much of the itinerary plan guests followed and if they found the recommendations helpful. Disney also wanted to know how well the service worked for guests when considering the attractions and entertainment that guests listed as a top priority.

Lol, they were shocked at the demand. For $40 ($35 + $5 fee) you get entrance to Epcot after 4pm, a $20 food certificate, special viewing area for Harmonious, get to ride Cosmic Rewind, and get a commemorative gift. If I didn't have a GS camping event ending on 5/15 and a senior in HS (and a senior in college) DH and I would be all over this, willing to fly down and do an impromptu weekend.

Agreed. If they offered that deal for DVC, we would be ALL OVER that, and driving 16 hours to get there

Disney Park Pass availability suggests possible dates for 'Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind' Annual Passholder previews​

Disney Park Pass availability for EPCOT is becoming increasingly scarce during the middle of May 2022, leading up to the May 27 debut of 'Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind.'

The latest Park Pass availability calendar shows no availability for EPCOT on May 10, 16, 18, 19, 20, and 21.


All other parks area still have passes available on those dates, and EPCOT is typically the last park to reach Park Pass capacity. This suggests that Disney may be blocking out passholder availability to assign to previews for 'Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind.'
Disney is yet to confirm dates for the passholder previews, but has said that they are coming.
