I assume I'm getting an AP soon, so Peanut and I are in.

In for craziness.

Though we'll all be at previews, yes?

The problem is soft openings tend to be during the week with short notice, making it difficult to plan for days off and such.

Yeah, €uroMeinke gets a bit rambunctious at the park.

In the FWIW department, from Al Lutz's March 2 article on the Leap Year promo:

February 29th, 2012 also has raised the stress level on the TDA planners for what this might mean for the official opening day of Cars Land on Friday, June 15th,, after only three or four days of Cars Land Passholder previews planned for the weekend beforehand.

And from his February 21 update (yeah, I'm a little behind on my reading):

Currently the plan is to slot in a carefully ticketed system of AP Previews on three days only; June 10th, 11th and 12th. Prior to that is four days of likely Cast Member Previews from June 6th through the 9th.

Interesting Al article. Heheh, seems while everyone was having a jolly good time, Disneyland came close to anarchic failure. Great story all around.

I'm so glad the boneheaded, dare-I-say Pressler-era management choices didn't wreck a great time apparently had by all. And when we say "all," we now mean a record-breaking 106,000 in Disneyland/DCA combined, according to the article. And I think Al's certainly right in saying if this kind of thing happened on a typical summer or Christmastime day, the mood in the park would not be nearly as festive and gay.

I think this would have been SUPER FABULOUSLY AWESOME if it happened at the same time as Gay Days.

Anyway, Al's article also claims the DCA AP previews will be the weekend before June 15 - not weekdays - so why don't we plan something for then?

Where does it say that? The one Kevy linked to says 10-12, which is Sun-Tue. Cast previews are Wed-Sat.

The ap previews have been by lottery lately.
