I'm not sure if I should be impressed they bothered to make a preview gift or confused why it isn't better. Both are valid options!

Thanks! You might want to Drop this in LM's Thread. :)

Previews for LM have occurred already for some CMs (I think so far exclusive to HS CMs). Haven't seen anything on Villians so far. This one occurred 2 weeks ago and they were all given these souvenirs at the preview event. Sebastian was a meetable character too!

Well, I'm no slackard. I've already started rehearsing the bass part of the Hallelujah Chorus to join in at the Candlelight Processional. So, it'll all be fine.

July is the target date, from what has been discussed in the past. Mid-July perhaps. -

Maybe?........I really meant MK could do that Schedule every night if it's easier to work around. We all Know Main Street empties after HEA..... And maybe I misunderstood but before HEA moved on July 6th, I thought it was said that HEA can't be moved on a Dime because of Desert Parties?

And according to the blockout calendar for cast, they're now blocked out till the end of July. Seems like we should assume this might mean a July debut for Starlight, but not 100% on that as of now.

And in that case, one would expect MK to extend hours to 12am on July 3-5.

Less than a Week till CM Previews I believe?

Exactly this, and it’s not just Starlight. The teams on Mermaid and Villains are working tirelessly to hit their debut dates too.

Would not at all be the first time. This has been going on for years, as I am sure you are already well aware of. It can be frustrating, but laughable at the same time. This is why I keep telling folks I come across in my travels that are interested in the Disney Theme Parks to READ this Forum on this fabulous website, WDWMagic. All the REAL news….and the real action related to the latest breaking info happens right here in real time on this very Forum. Also, Steve only posts news when it is confirmed and legit. No misleading clickbait nonsense…..as life is way too short for that crap. WDWMagic is all of us. We rock. 🤘 -
