Looks like there is a preview event for D23 and other invited guests on June 22nd. We shall see if everything is ready.

Media guests arrive the 26th I believe and are mainly staying at AKL.

Yes but they arrive June 26th and are staying at AKL.

I doubt it’d work. WDI took a lot of industry flack for NFL and no doubt they’d take some for this too.

What does industry flack mean?

What does industry flack mean?

I would assume THEA, Universal Creative, various contractors and other entities in the themed entertainment world.

When you've got the pedigree of WDI and the bankroll of the Walt Disney Company, your flubs are well, well noticed.

I'm very excited to be going down as a family member of a person involved in these previews. If i hear anything from her (that hasn't already been noted in detail) i will gladly let you know.

Are you able to go to the preview / media day with her, or is it closed to just them? I'm thinking the latter from your comment. But cool, either way. Are you staying on for opening day?

Travel agents/agency owners are arriving the 28th and are staying at the GF.

That's news to me. They typically don't use the GF as a host resort for these types of things.

But when you need good press you fly them out on your dime to Paris and put them up at the Grand

They are at the Hotel New York for Disney FanDaze in Paris.

Is anyone else excited to see the 3-hour lines this will bring? I know I am.

They did for the Pandora event last year with some at the Contemporary.

I can’t wait for the first reports of guests getting in a 3-hr line at 8 am and having the ride close for a thunderstorm before they board.

Magic.

They did for the Pandora event last year with some at the Contemporary. Travel agency owners that is, for both. Not sure about press/media.

Press was at AKL for that as well.

The NY seems to be the comp resort at DLP. We were put there for the ToT press weekend (shameless plug)

Probably getting it all in before they redo the whole thing.

Can't quite tell, but on that last arch at the end of the ride just before you come to Wheezy, it kind of looks like there's a "taped on" sign from Andy that says "The Big Finish." Perhaps an intro to Wheezy's song?
