Same boat for us, our last Epcot day is May 7. I’ll probably get to watch streamers walk in the building. Smh.(sigh) Unless they randomly decide to let day guests in for super sneak previews, looks like we'll be missing it by a matter of days. Our last day (coincidentally scheduled for Epcot) is April 29th.

Do you have a source? I can’t find this information anywhere. I find it hard to believe they would have a media event before cast previewsMedia event for Guardians looks like it’s May 4-6.
Would you care to speculate as to possible days of AP previews?Thank you for confirming the dates I had heard! (just didn't post specifics)
Current date I've heard for Club 33 previews at least is May 7th.
Yeah, it was more just the dates were end of week one and the beginning of the second. I (think) I was mistaken on the travel agents being part of the GOTG launch though, who knows they may be helping the celebration continue?
Are we all ready for Even More Magic?
I think it depends on how reliable it is. If they believe it will run without stoppages the vast majority of the time, I think they'll want the ILL money. If it's going to have significant downtime like RotR, then it may not be an option until they have it sorted out.

Does this mean my trip from 5/4-5/10 where we planned to just hop to Epcot most days might be a little more insane now? I think we only have 1 actual Epcot reservation.I have a photo from someone at the event. Was asked not to post the actual photo.
Part of the ILL decision will depend on how reliable the ride is. Part of the reason they waited so long on RotR was the frequent breakdowns. It’s a bit better now (and they are more tolerant of major showpieces being down…).BGs seem to be their go-to for new rides, regardless of reliability of the ride system. It allows them to not have massive waits and what they perceive as the "negative PR" which comes with those waits. Again, just my uneducated opinion.
The ILL will assuredly come soon enough, probably in time for the crowds in Q4 '22, sooner if BG availability begins to stretch past park opening.

It’s must a roller coaster in a box, how great of a ride can it be?It's just a roller coaster, how unreliable could it be?

Right, but they can do both systems, which is what I think will happen. They've already done BG and ILL at the same time, so people who don't get a BG can get an ILL. It was either on RotR or Ratatouille or maybe both. As I said above, reliability seems to be the defining factor.
