perhaps the CM in that are was told "All CMS" , but the manager actually did mean "all CMS of the Magic Kingdom zone"?

Just heard that previews for MK cast starts Wednesday.
No word on when GenPop will be let on.

If they stage it anything like TSMM was when I was working at DHS, they sorta do it like this: Testing, the CM previews for CMs of the home park only at first (i.e. in that case only DHS cast members, this time it would be only MK cast members), then it was previews for all CMs, then AP previews, then soft open.

of course, that's barring any issues during the previews (which has a lot to do with why they do it that way).
...and just to stir the rumor mill, my "inside" sources (aka former co-cast members I worked with) have told me the goal is to have soft opens ready for at least the 24 hour event, but since they can't predict any issues or anything, there are no official announcements.

I saw a group of cast members on the ride today. Hopefully it will open up for soft openings this week

Trains were running all afternoon. We kept going back to be sure and not miss a soft, but no luck. The cm's told us it was cm's only, but there were a few children and some older teens. We heard a cm at BOG say it was her turn tomorrow. I guess they could bring family.
We were so jealous. If anyone is there tomorrow and there's a soft please let us know as we'll be at EPCOT most of the day.

The "Scene 1 Test" for MK cast occurred during the middle of the day today, tomorrow, and Wednesday. Next week is when there will be the possibility of "cast previews" and "soft opens". Today's thing was not considered a "cast preview".
Soft opens/previews are rumored to start later this week at the earliest but should at least operate for limited hours on the 24 hour event for sure.

you just need to unbuckle and push yourself as soon it reaches the summit.
Arriving alive... well that's another thing.
(btw, I mean as in CMS from the hotels, transportation..etc..cruise line entering with their discounted CM cards and have the privilege to ride before the normal guests)

FWIW, I was told by a CM on Saturday (5/10) that there were no soft openings that day, and "absolutely none on the schedule for the next two weeks, anyway." (Do they get schedules 2 weeks ahead?) Take it with a grain of salt.

eventually they will run out of willing CMs... that's when I think they will start taking guests at random.
They will want to train with people.. so that is our best shot Pure speculation.. but I would not be shocked if you start hearing randoms being invited later in the week or over the weekend. Nothing behind that claim but from watching their past behaviors.

They're not typically scheduled in such a fashion and it would be unusual to get that close to opening without some soft openings. It's possible they simply never have soft openings but that is not normal or desirable.
