Since the outdoor portion of Tron is covered by a canopy, it is able to run during inclement weather.Mine train & tron are also outdoor attractions that close a lot in summer due to storms

Perhaps my logic is faulty!!Mine train & tron are also outdoor attractions that close a lot in summer due to storms
Maybe. Or maybe this was their compromise since other overlay changes didn't get previews at all. We had a malfunction for Guardians during our preview ride, had to get escorted off the ride, the ride shut down for a period of time. We got another ride, as did all those who were scheduled during our slot. So they CAN accommodate riders during other slots. There's always a risk for a shut down for new rides. It's why they do the previews, period. A test period. Now, that's not to say the chances are higher for an outdoor ride, only pointing out that it's not an unheard of happening.I think due summer storms the scheduled time just wasn't practical this time around, we kinda shoulda seen this coming in retrospect. It would be so much worse for us out of state APs if our preview was cancelled due to lightening and they had no time to shift us because the slots are filled and some people would have done a whole trip for nothing. This way, nothing is promised.

Well, that's kind of the point. Maybe most out of state APs don't make special trips for these type of things at least in part because of the way Disney handles them.I live outside Florida and I don't feel that way. I think Disney probably has the data that most those out of state APs do not make special trips for these type of things. I personally made it work for LAND previews but I'm not spending the money for just one ride. In this instance a retheme of a ride. I was more likely to book a trip for a last ride on something like Great Movie Ride.
While many associate Florida passholders with Orlando I will be most do not live local and still buy hotels, food etc when they visit Disney. Disney doesn't want to alienate them as they are probably their biggest AP base. They are just trying something new that works within the park reservation system.
I flew down just for the day for GOTG. Literally flew out on the first flight out of Atlanta and a 5pm departure back home. It was so much fun to go to EPCOT just for the day. 10/10 recommend and would have done this for TBA.Well, that's kind of the point.

Imagine that a friend who lives over a thousand miles away is having an event. Some of his friends get an email invite but others (including you) only hear of it via word of mouth. A few weeks before the event the friend posts a general invitation with the caveat that you might be turned away at the door if the venue is at capacity. Do you feel valued? Do you take the time off from work, buy an airline ticket, pay for a hotel, etc and show up hoping to get in? How about if the friend gives you a scheduled time that you can reasonably expect (barring unforeseen circumstances) to enter the event?
You've stated that you have no interest in this event and that's fine. But for those out of state APs who would like to attend these events, the last minute release of details and inconsistent implementation makes it difficult.
I'll be at WDW June 21-23 so I JUST miss the previews but I'm not upset about it. It's just how the dice fall sometimes! And I can't make the D23 event because some friends are getting married at EPCOT at the exact same time as the D23 event. So I'll just get on it in the fall - NBD!The preview is a month from now. That's plenty of time to book a trip.
I’m also a out of state AP and I was considering attending but the dates don’t work well for our family to make a cross country trip and it not being a sure thing made us less willing to move other things around. Having said that, I suspect the VQ will work for most people with MK reservations.You've stated that you have no interest in this event and that's fine.

For some perhaps. Some places of employment require more notice. My BIL has to submit his PTO a year in advance.The preview is a month from now. That's plenty of time to book a trip.

It’s hard to plan for much a year in advance. Clearly not someone who wants to go to see any events. There’s like nothing that schedules that far outI don't expect Disney to announce a preview a year in advance
I understand the difficulties some people have with taking time off. I'm just thinking that people who bought Incredipasses usually have a more flexible schedule, otherwise it would be a waste to pay $1200-$1500/year just to go on one trip.For some perhaps.

this is me. I go a few times a year, a few 3 or 4 day trips throughout the year. I am leaving today actually with my duaghter! And I am flying down for Tiana as it lined up with my birthday and I have never been for my birthday ever!I understand the difficulties some people have with taking time off.

Last year I spent my birthday in Magic Kingdom ~ a first to even be there on my birthday but I wanted to be in MK. I had more snacks than I've ever eaten and it was so much fun to have a personal party.this is me. I go a few times a year, a few 3 or 4 day trips throughout the year.
