We got ours in our MDE today for the 22nd. It's showing a FP time for 2:00pm for NRJ. Is this just the time/invite? Is this the time that the let us in the land?

Yes it's just to allow you into the land. Non ride specific.

Not me. I'm DVC, scheduled for the 18th, and no email or MDE listing yet.

FWIW, I was placed in the 5/14 9-11 preview window, which apparently is the DVC preview. I emailed Guest Services because I didn't get a credential in my MDE account, either.Not me. I'm DVC, scheduled for the 18th, and no email or MDE listing yet.
They told me everything was fine, all I had to do was provide a copy if the original confirmation email, my I'd and magic bands/AP cards. While it seems like they might be handling the DVC previews a little differently than the rest of the AP previews, I wouldn't necessarily make the assumption what they told me applies to everyone in the DVC preview. You might want to make sure w/ guest services.

Quick question...Anyone hearing of any public soft openings in-between all the passholder previews? I'm very eager to get in there. I can wait till the 28th but still lol also is the 27th going to be just media there all day for the grand opening and no normal guest access? Thank you!
27th is fun guest opening to all.
I am not expecting any soft opens, each day is pretty much full with passholder previews and media days.

Don't be shocked if a few softs occur, but don't be surprised if they don't, but theyw ouldnt happen until after AP 27th will be full guest access, possibly with a small ceremony in the morning, but all media happenings will be in the week leading up to that.

Weird, so now I have a credential in my MDE, but it doesn't have a time like everyone else's.

I, too, saw that my parents and I had the Fastpass+ at 5p. I received the 2nd email last evening, and it said the Passholder preview window was 6-8p. I called the Passholder number this morning to get some clarification. The cast member was very apologetic but stated that our family would NOT be able to enter Pandora until 6, even though the Fastpass+ states we could go on the river ride at 5.
I personally feel this is a very confusing thing for Disney to do, as there will likely be lots of individuals who will try to enter Pandora at 5 and not be able to do so. She did say that it was good to line up early, as there would be quite a crowd at 6.As I stupidly had double-booked myself for this evening, had we been able to ride the ride at 5, I could have gone, but now I cannot. At least, my parents will be able to go.

If you touch the FP+ for the River Journey on your app one more time, it will then take you to a second "page" that gives the time. At least, that is how it is working on my app.

So the FP time that is on our MDE is actually for 1 hour before our preview time? Man Disney is making this thing waaay to complicated.

Once I click on the reservation, it shows the time for me.

How did you even schedule a FP in the first place?I, too, saw that my parents and I had the Fastpass+ at 5p. I received the 2nd email last evening, and it said the Passholder preview window was 6-8p.

Yep, that is correct. Makes no sense to me at all.

I did not. This happened automatically.
On the app it literally says:
"What's This?
Please enjoy an extra FastPass+ experience! Experience, date and number of Guests can't be changed."

Hmm, I see that, but I don’t have any other time listed besides my 2pm starting slot. No time at all for an “extra” FP. It’s almost as if they’re counting the experience alone as a “FP” in order to make it work with MDE?

When you registered for the Passholder preview, did your confirmation email have an original window of time? That same window of time was what was provided in the 2nd email I received last evening. I think it is odd that the FP+ doesn't have an end time for that day, but since we are supposed to be out by 8p anyway, I'm guessing that would be the end time.
Maybe like you said, they are putting in the FP+ option so the Passholder has access to the preview experience, but why they would put the time an hour before it starts is quite the mystery!
