I wouldn't count on getting in to a possible preview unless you just want to stand around TSL all day and hope. I'd go with your original plans and head to Epcot. If they have a mass preview going on that day, you'll hear about it here. Usually when they do previews though that aren't booked in advance it's very short and not with many people. By the time you see it on the board if they happen to have it, they'd likely stop grabbing people to come in by the time you went to leave Epcot. Like when they let people ride 7dmt, it was just very short periods.

Could hear something prior to that that might leak out if they do let some guests in to ride. But if you don't hear anything up until then, I'd plan to just stay at Epcot. It wouldn't be any fun to just stand around by TSL and hope to get in if you don't know if their doing any type of viewing

Good to know...I guess I figured soft openings would start in the morning and they would let everyone in. I didn't realize it was sporadic.

It could being that it's a land opening vs like 7dmt. But I just wouldn't put too much stock behind it unless we hear more. For 7dmt it was kind of like you just had to be in the right place at the right time to ride it

Doubt they will be able to do that because if im not mistaken the media previews are 28th and 29th which would make it hard for them to plan for that and a extra pay preview as well on the same day

They may or may not have a paid (or free) preview, but I don't think the media days being the 28th and 29th will play into that at all.

i find this completely comical. the day i would pay to see something early when i can just see it when it opens.

Yeah if you are a local or someone who goes multiple times a year, easy to take that stance. For people who only go every few years or maybe once a decade it might be worth paying to see it if you are leaving before it opens. Again I wouldn't pay $300 for TSL, but SWL I might think about it if our trip was going to miss the opening. I bet they don't have trouble selling out the Pixar Pier event.

FYI - for what it's worth. I'm on the phone right now with DSS right changing my CL FP+ date from may 16th to May 21st in order to take advantage of TSMM being open for FP+.

She said, "Did you want the toy story midway mania or the new toy story rides?"

I MAY have YELPED and said,"but they're not opened yet I thought".

She said, "Oh sure, they're open on the 21st for fast passes" (said with a great big disney smile that radiated through the phone)

As I was hyperventilating she said, "Oh, sorry....my mind is already in June. You're right, not open in May. I'm so sorry!!"

So, my take away was that they *MIGHT* be going to be opened by June 21st.

Hmm.

Weird that she'd say they're available June 21st for FPs considering nothing shows up within the app or online for those rides (obviously)

I agree 100%. I was so excited that I got one TSMM during this trip that I didn't really delve deeper into it. So, just passing on what was said. take it for what it's worth (which, admittedly isn't much)

Got same day FP+ for Toy Story Mania today. Hope that continues for people.

Yeah I think she just misspoke. I would say zero chance they fully open the land on June 21st, BEFORE the media preview. I do think they may have either previews or soft openings prior to work out any kinks before the media show up.

It's really interesting to see all the chat about TSL on here. We're not coming over the pond until September and it will be open by then, but I kind of wish I was there earlier for all the excitement for will they or won't they have soft openings. Although I'm sure it will be plenty exciting in September too to be fair

Got same day FP+ for Toy Story Mania today. Hope that continues for people.

We decided to hop over to HS for fireworks but thought we'd grab a FP on our way. Was surprised to see TSM....now to decide whether to watch the fireworks or try to keep riding TSM instead.

We’ll be in WDW on June 30 and are wondering what it will be like at DHS for the opening of TSL. Any insight into if there will be a grand opening celebration that morning? We know it will be super crowded, but will regret it if we don’t at least try to see the grand opening! TIA

It says that that those photos are from today but I was there tonight and the fence along the back of TSMM is about 1/4 to a 1/3 painted, but from the opposite end shown in the photos. They got a lot done today and I guess they'll meet in the middle. What was most noticeable to me since I was there late last week was how much less scaffolding there was.

It does seem when the Imagineers and workers start getting close to the end of a project, they really seem to step up the pace

Especially when they have a deadline they can't miss
