Member Sneak Peek 2020

[----------------------]

From others experience, how much of a pain is it to redeem your membership that morning? I won't be able to go to the early redemption days unfortunately.

It is a long line. However, they do open up processing for a few days before preview.

Doesnt bgw allow phone passes now? Cant you also print passes at the kiosks?

AT swo the only thing you cant do wihout getting in line is set up a new ezpay pass. YOU Can however order online and print at the park.

Does anyone foresee crowds being lighter this year due to coronavirus fears?

I certainly wouldn't mind it ?

Yeah I heard it might be really bad in Festa so everyone might as well not even try to ride Pantheon and should probably just stay home.

Member email went out about preview day.

There will be 45 balloon cut out scavenger hunt. And a 'town hall" meeting at 11 in the Abbey stone.

Also Clancy will be there. And that new shake looks delicious. ??

Yes you actually don't need to redeem the pass at the gate, you can just use the print at home for your pass forever if you want.

I'd recommend using the print at home and redeeming it later for the printed ticket

So really the only benefit to redeeming on day one is getting a card - style pass?

 

[GrandpaD]

So how many years go by before they stop referring to Finnegan's Flyer as "All-New"?

 

[Applesauce]

I assume once Pantheon opens they'll stop.

 

[Rothbury]

Got the impression from today's email that they will be enforcing the membership "only" requirement this year. They mention it in several different places in the email.

Yes that is correct. It's more convenient for some things but there's no need to wait in line at the beginning of your day

 

[Brambo]

Thanks for the tip @BGWnut

It has been more strictly enforced in the past, but that said there has always been a few folks who manage to get in. Before memberships, they didn't enforce it much, but once the memberships started, they did become more strict and I can imagine they will only get more persistent. I doubt it will ever be 100% memberships ever though.

 

[vacoasterfanatic]

I will make an attempt to get in and if all fails I will just be there the next day.

 

[Applesauce]

If you know that you aren't allowed in for an event, for whatever reason, why would you try and get in anyways?

 

[Nicole]

As a Member, it frustrates me that they don’t fully enforce things like this. It almost feels like a breach of contract, given that I was sold the more expensive Membership on the premise that I would be given exclusive access to a variety of events and perks, explicitly including the Sneak Peeks.

 

[MAZ]

And then there is the excitement of being somewhere that you know you shouldn’t be.

 

[WDWRLD]

I agree with @Nicole and to add to that they keep blurring the lines and giving old passes perks.

 

[BGWnut]

The only perk they have given to legacy passholders is free beer but I agree they shouldn't have

Actually me and multiple friends have gotten into every member sneak peek (hos, ct, and park preview) since the memberships released and we are all legacy.
