Disney announced yesterday that Annual Passholder previews for EPCOT's newest attraction will begin on September 24, 2023. Surprisingly, Disney does not require guests to make any specific reservations for the preview beyond having an EPCOT park pass reservation for the day. Disney has also said that only a standby line will be available, with no virtual queue.

Passholder previews will take place at EPCOT from park open to park close on the following dates:

• September 24 to September 29, 2023
• October 1 to October 4, 2023

Currently, all other Annual Passholder preview dates remain available. Annual Passholders may also be able to make a reservation for September 24 if they are staying at a Walt Disney World hotel.

To participate in this preview experience, Passholders must have a theme park reservation for EPCOT on the day of the preview. Note that:

• If your theme park reservation is for a different theme park (and not for EPCOT), then you will not be eligible to participate in a preview that day.
• If you enter EPCOT without a theme park reservation after 2:00 PM, then you will not be eligible to participate in a preview that day.
