Guests were brought behind one layer of construction walls for Enchanted Tales with Belle's previews.

I'm hoping for Memorial Day Weekend. A mine ride will be just the thing after hob nobbing with Wookies!

From the sounds of it, this sounds very likely to happen if everything goes right from now to then.

So, just a small update...cast member previews have not yet been posted for registration (if they are going to happen at all). The media event date has been set as has the opening date. Knowing the media and potential opening date, there is a about a 3 week window for all previews/soft openings. This is much smaller than that for new fantasyland which was about 2-3 months.
And please don't ask what the dates are. I'm not allowed to disclose them.

This probably won't have cast member sign ups. It'll be something more like Star Tours where it was open during certain hours, first come/first serve. I doubt the company will feel obligated to offer weeks of previews if they can just pull the trigger and open it.

Don't tell me the dates just give me a hint if my girls will be able to ride on May 17???
Um... If the media event on May 2 is the opening date, as this person has reported (keep in mind there has been no official confirmation of that), then May 17th looks pretty good for all who are willing to wait in line
You have all the hints you need.

If people in the know can't give dates, they probably can't give "hints" either.
All we the general public of WDWMagic have been hearing over and over is that the media date for this ride is May 2.

All that has happened so far is the construction workers have rode the ride. I have been eagerly doing research for the past couple of days. Trying to watch videos or see photos but all of them are images of the same part of the attraction.. which is definitely disappointing. However not seeing every part of the ride is nice because i will get to experience all the Disney magic when it does open. Anyways the rumors about soft openings are a couple of weeks of (maybe 2) I know everyone is eager to see how this turns out but, soft openings are still pretty far off from where production of the ride is at now. Guess all we can do for now is wait and see what happens

There go any hopes for our family's upcoming trip. Our MK day is May 2nd and our vacation is 4/30 -5/7. We could push back our MK day, but it doesn't appear that it would matter.

Magic Kingdom is busy everyday.
I dare say it will be crowded.
Expect a lot of Fanland to be closed to normal people, pushing the crowds elsewhere in the park, and in turn generating more admissions from people thinking it will open if the media are there.

If you pause it at :33 seconds it says Thursday, May 01, 2014... on the far right hand side of the ticket.

First two seconds also gives a range of dates, April 30 - May 2. I don't expect any media to ride prior to May 2nd, but there will be limited access available in to the area.
