Long time AP holder (9 years) and DVC owner (8 years) and I got an AP invite email at 11:03am. The preview dates are for days I will not be at WDW so I didn't take any. My trip is May 1st - 10th.

Are you talking about my daughter. How do you know if she placed a link? She told the cm where she got the link. He had no problem with that. He said it was working for some, but not all, so he would email us a direct link. That's what never came. She did nothing but click the link that came up when she went to the blog.

I got the email. I got the time I wanted. I still think it was a terrible way to handle reservations for such a large event.

It might be the emails I got from first time passholders and DVC members all excited about the link they just got for a Pandora preview and how they were going to book a short trip around it. Told them to enjoy their trip.
That's what's interesting about the distribution. Disney is using their big data systems very intelligently it seems.
Never even got a promo email on the Copper creek villas
I was not talking about your daughter placing a link, but the DFB person.

It shows you what shareholders use to receive at one point. So in turn people can expect to receive special stuff from the company they own. How's that entitlement when it was done before?
such a terrible way!

I will agree Disney should not have such limited spots and also should have gave advance notice and set up a website to make reservations to Avatar. A random email is dumb.
So you base your position on a few emails that you received? Do you honestly believe that your personal emails are a representative sampling of who received them?

That has certainly been my experience. Of course, I tend to check these forums every 5 seconds like a crazy person!

Before condemning Disney for questionable email invitations, it'd be helpful to understand who did and did not get invites. If you live 1500 miles away and don't have a resort reservation during the preview window, I wouldn't be surprised if Disney didn't send invitations to those AP holders / DVC members. Now if you have a resort reservation for that period and still did not get an email invite, that's a bit more questionable.

The last major preview (Everest) did not require any registration... You just showed up on the advertised date. It was one ride. You could ride as many times as you wanted to wait in line for.
Are there really that many more passholders now then in 2006?
This is a whole land with 2 major rides... At the time Everest was a huge deal... I don't see why it has to be so complicated to get in and look around.

And then everyone would've complained that they didn't get a spot because the website was busy. Those slots would've been gone in under 5 minutes. It isn't like they are inviting 100,000 people to preview it.

I live locally in Orlando and I and many other locals I've been in contact with today, did not get the emails announcing the preview registration.

I'm equally sure I would not have gotten an invite as Disney records customer sat interactions and I'm on record as on e who turns down freebies like 'free' fp's when they screw up
So I screw up their metrics because they cannot close the incident with customer satisfied with X.
And I do it for exactly that reason because every time you allow Disney to buy you off with a freebie it allows them to sweep the issue under a rug.
im not their ideal customer for this type of offer or any offer at all. I'm pretty sure they just want me to go away.
But I'm willing to bet that many others did get an invite. Just the nature of random selection.

Why is there any talk of "random selection." This should have been a perk for all AP's, and that's how the e-mail that I received made it sound.
My AP invite arrived 10:16a this Friday morning.
This is my second year AP. I live in New Jersey. I was just at WDW the first week of March and saw RoL twice. I have no current reservations (I plan to go again first week of Sept).
