Was that an official Disney FB page or a fan page??? I've read December 6 not November 19... So who knows what to believe LOL...

I would be really surprised is they took reservations for dates prior to 12/6. The point of the preview/soft opening is that they are still working out kinks and have the option to close things as necessary or run them limited hours. Hard to do that when people have reservations.

I am. They really must be confident that things will go well during the preview.

Actually, so am I. In the past I remember restaurants opening for a period of time and then when they had worked out the kinks they started accepting ADRs. Taking ADRs before it's even opened once is risky.

Yes, this is what they did with the two new restaurants in Epcot a few years ago. They started taking reservations around the day it opened for dates a month later.

Well, since they announced AP previews....and it's soft opening to the public on the 19th.....they're likely going to work out the kinks in the first half of November. Opening a restaurant is much easier than opening an attraction though. Restaurants just "work" when they open. Rides don't experience real life testing until they are loaded and abused by the public.

So, while LM may close down a lot between Nov 19 and Dec 6, BatB should be just fine.

So am I to understand correctly that the ballroom will NOT Be open for lunch?

If so, that's just fantastic. One of the main attractions of the FLE will only be available to people who can pay top dollar for an expensive meal? It was my understanding all areas of Beast's Castle would be accessible for lunch as well.

Do you think it's just for parents with under-12 children or can everyone enjoy this?

Clearly grown ups won't be participating in the acting out of stories but if it's a show of some sort I am wondering if grown ups can enjoy it too.

Anyone can join but i'm sure kids only will be picked to join in. :)

Why don't we just wait until November/December at which point we'll know for sure whether or not all the rooms or only one will be open for lunch. Makes the most sense to me.

Also, that video has me wicked excited for April now. Not that I wasn't already excited before.
