Yesterday I heard while getting my hair cut that the cast previews were going to be rescheduled but nobody knew for when. Later I was talking to the greeters at One Man's Dream and they were saying this weekend most likely.

Last night I looked on the Hub but couldn't find anything about the previews. I want to know when the cast previews are so I can make the time to go.


Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.

We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

Pattimelt, thanks for the info, weekdays though I cant afford to take th time off right now, bummer. I was hoping they would have an open preview for the AP's on a weekend. O well, if me and da kid go down for a Sat maybe we will get lucky and stumble onto a soft opening, if not ill just have to wait until august and battle the crowds.

At the other board came good news. As the line procedes there are stairs, at some point before that the line goes to the right and there is a seperate platform for disabled guests. The car is kept out of service and just sets there waiting for disabled guests to use it. Once the guests are loaded the car is sent forward and is the second car of the pair that leave the station.

This means the car is not being used by other guests, is always ready when needed and the guest has as much time as they need to load.
