Did everyone receive the email about PMA day and the great deals on food? You can buy 2 meal vouchers for $20 online and every entree bought you get a free dessert. :) Can we say AWESOME! This is valid for Saturday and Sunday.
 
What shocks me the most is how many pass holders didn't even know about this weekend. I had been asking a few people through idle chit chat, and the most common response was: What is that?
 
Under normal conditions and typically, England opens at 9AM, Scotland at 9:30AM, Ireland, France, New France, and Italy at 10AM, with Germany opening at 10:30AM.
With these staggered openings guest would usually wait at each block at the beginning of each hamlet. However, on the 8th, instead of waiting at each block Pass Holders just flash their pass and let the Team Member at the block know your going to the Verbolten ERT and they will allow you to pass through the blocks to Verbolten. So while regular guests are waiting at each block, you are riding Verbolten, and by the time they get to Verbolten the ERT will be over to allow all guests to ride.
However, I would use the ERT to your advantage to become one of the first pass holders into the Festhaus. While most are riding Verbolten, I suggest waiting to get into the Festhaus.

REMEMBER! Pass Holder Appreciation Weekend is two days of special discounts for pass holders along with a special announcement about upcoming information and prizes. Pass Holder Preview Day is a day before the park is open that pass holders can preview the park before it opens! Two completely different events!

I take it that the 1500 slots for people in Festhaus will fill up really quickly. Should we get there right at 9 a.m.? This is the first time we've had passes, this is kind of exciting.
 
My recommendation would be to get there at 9, enjoy the ERT while keeping an eye on what's happening at Das Festhaus, and when you start to see a mob forming out front, get over there.
 
Mob, huh? yeah, that's what we're going to do. We also got reservations for the picnic at noon. The food sounds pretty good and it's cheaper than the regular food prices!
 
They should start letting Pass Holders into the Festhaus at 11AM, as that is usually when the Festhaus opens. So around 10:30AM, I would start to keep my eyes open.
 
Also any preview of shows on the 8th and 9th look around your seats. Last year they were putting gift cards around some of the seats during MSR preview. I didn't see it but my daughter saw it and I was really happy she saw it and swiped it. :)
 
If they do have an preview shows, I suggest getting to the preview show at least 1 hour prior to half an hour before the show starts.
 
Didn't see anything about preview shows on the card that got mailed to us but will keep our ears open! haha.
