Weren't there a lot of great little tidbits in this issue of the DVC Vacation Magic? There were some details on SSE I didn't know, or at least wasn't sure about, I didn't know about the changes to Tokyo's Space, and the kissing-Anaheim's-butt article was interesting in light of the 'affordable housing' issue.

Actually, it isn't supposed to open until Thursday according to the Tell-A-Cast, but I will be going to the MK just incase, but I'll only be taking exterior shots because I want to enjoy the ride...maybe after a few times, I'll take flashless pics. However, I will get photos of the Boo to You parade preview!

Heading for the great escape.
Can we take a sweepstake as to how long after opening the first complaint appears on this site?

Too late, there have already been some "it's to scary" complaints from the usual whiners on other boards. Fortunately they have overplayed that bit of drama and no one is fooled anymore. I know they don't fool me at least.

The same people who complained until they removed AE. A tragic bit of over reaction to a few complainers who thought it was too scary.
If it opens, most of the pics will be on my site - but I can throw one or two up here too.

That was tragic.
COMPLETELY tragic...One of the cool and interesting rides that TOTALLY fit in Tomorrowland, and they had to go and ruin it with Stitch!!!:brick:
My wife and I still complain about this EVERY TIME we go to Tomorrowland...we absolutely LOVED AE and it was just dripping with creativity and imagination (not a shocker given Lucas' involvement).
We never go to Stitch. We went once and vowed to never go back.

I believe the AP event was advertised as more "be among the first", not "be the first". Especially as the Mansion is supposedly going to be open to non-AP holders, too. The AP "event" is more of a front-of-the-line access to AP holders.
And as discussed on other threads, the best chance you have of an attraction opening early after a refurb is the afternoon/evening before its' scheduled reopening *if* the managers decide to open it for a few hours. The day before re-opening, the cast is usually brought in for a full shift to go over any changes in procedures, controls, etc. So if the cast is fully re-trained and checked out, and the attraction is fully up and running, many times the management will just say "why not open up for a few hours"? It'll be a last-minute decision, and no announcement will be made, they'll just open up the front gates and let people in.

Well, if the only thing left is the fabric cover, and there's no problems with the proper fit of it, I wouldn't think that the awning would take more than an hour or two to secure to the framework. Easily an overnight job. I'm just wondering if the framework needs to get painted first... It still looked rather shiney, bare metal in the last photo I saw of it.
