Disney News, Discussion & an Element of Fun - 2022 Edition

[princesscinderella]

This is my first time being an AP for previews, do you get to pick your date if there is availability?

Spots usually fill up very quickly so keep checking here and your email.

I’m nervous because only my s/o got the email announcing the preview, but I hear that’s a common issue.

I’m nervous because only my s/o got the email announcing the preview, but I hear that’s a common issue.

I have the same problem sometimes my husband gets the DVC ones and sometimes I get them. It’s hit or miss. I haven’t really gotten any passholder emails since we got passes in November. We leave for a Disney cruise on the 16th so with my luck that’s when the emails will go out when I have no internet access.

Spyglass Grill Menu Changes Ahead of Reopening in Disney World

 

[Sweettears]

Anyone know why? Halloween perhaps?

I could be wrong but I believe that I heard in the past that they sometimes need to make adjustments to ensure that everything is in sync. Pyro with projections and music

Good Morning Everyone!! Happy Friday!!

It’s been awhile since we’ve summoned the News Gods, but after watching a few threads, I see there’s a need to reach out pronto! AP holders, DVC and Club 33 Members are all anxiously awaiting to hear from Disney about the Cosmic Rewind Preview dates, and well, I’d like to help move this along. Therefore, I’m proud to announce, I’m gonna dance - and I’m gonna get you some answers, along with the help of @HokieRaven5, who collaborated with me to create this masterpiece!! Thank you so much!!!

As you read/sing along to the words of “Mr. Blue Sky” by Electric Light Orchestra (Song here for those that do not know it) I hope you know we got your back!! Let’s get right to it!!!





Guardians preview on my mind,
There ain't an email in sight.
It will be crazy, all the AP’s in the play,
And don't you know,
I just want to ride in May, hey hey!




Waiting to join in the queue
hoping that we just might see
Quality IT, on a site that’s such a pity
Cosmic Rewind is coming soon, hooray! Hey Hey!




Cosmic Rewind, please tell us why,
You had to hide away for so long (so long).
Where did we go wrong?
Cosmic Rewind, please tell us why,
You had to hide away for so long (so long).
Not as long as TRON.




Can’t wait for our preview date,
Not sure how long I can wait.
A celebration, I’m sitting here impatiently waiting.
Preview day is the day we've waited for, oh!




Oh Cosmic Rewind, please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (so long).
Where did we go wrong?




AP, was renewed.
DVC, Club 33 too.
D23 wants to see what you do.
Spinning cars, hope it’s true!




Hey there, I am Groot!
Star Lord’s pleased to dance with you!
Look around, hey there’s Drax too!
And Gamora grins at you!

Irani Rael, you did it right!
And soon comes Rocket uptight!
Creepin' over, now his paw is on your shoulder!
Crazy dream, need to remember you, yes,
Hope the queue opens today!




Cosmic Rewind, we’re standing by…
Hope the online queue isn’t too long,
Think today, but can be wrong.
No email, I’m so blue,
Hoping today they open the queue!
Can’t focus on life until they do.
Keep refreshing until I get through!!




We got this guys!!!!! I hope we get a preview date today, if not, in Disney terms… hopefully SOON!!! Hope you all have a great weekend!!!

I love YC! Been trying to find an opening at my favorite, AKL, for my trip in a few more weeks, but it's been a no go. That's okay, I've been wanting to try Gran Destino for a while, so I'm good!

Can we hope against hope that this also means that new live entertainment will be starting soon at the UK pavilion? Maybe a new band similar to British Revolution? I miss them so much! A girl can dream…
