Just 80 minutes after Disney announced Annual Passholder previews for the reimagined Test Track, EPCOT has already reached park reservation capacity for Passholders on July 13, the first day of previews.

As of 12:20 p.m. today, EPCOT is no longer available to reserve for Annual Passholders on that date, according to the Walt Disney World Park Pass Reservation system. Passholders who missed out should continue monitoring the reservation calendar as availability can shift at any time.

Test Track July 13 Passholder Previews at Capacity

However, despite EPCOT hitting reservation capacity for July 13, Passholders still have a potential workaround to join the preview experience through the 1:00 pm virtual queue.

How to Join the Preview Without a Reservation to EPCOT

Disney's official guidelines for the Test Track Passholder preview include two virtual queue entry times each day:

7:00 am – Available only to Passholders with a park reservation to EPCOT
1:00 pm – Open to any Passholder with valid admission, regardless of park reservation

This means that even if you do not have a reservation to EPCOT on July 13, you can still try to join the 1:00 pm virtual queue, as long as you have a valid Annual Pass and are not blocked out on that date.

You do not need to be inside a park to join the 1:00 pm virtual queue. If successful in securing a boarding group, you can then enter EPCOT after 2:00 pm, even without a park reservation.

Test Track Preview Details

Passholder previews will take place July 13 through July 19, excluding July 17. Previews are limited to one ride per day via the virtual queue, and access is not guaranteed even with a successful queue attempt.

During the previews, Disney PhotoPass is offering complimentary downloads of Test Track attraction photos for all Passholders who participate. A new photo location has been added, featuring a futuristic backdrop inspired by the reimagined attraction’s design.

At least maps are still being made for free. Disney could at any time, just like universal, decide to stop making guidemaps. I'd rather have a physical map no matter what's on it.

probably , I know its nitpicky, I just dont get the direction, it doesn't promote test track one bit or the others for their park except the evil queen on the studios one for the new show.

These park guide maps are really irritating me lately, they only always feature a person instead of anything to do with the parks they are for. The announcement news piece on the front page here says Test Track now on the cover of the Epcot guide, but it's not, its two kids. How is that featuring the attraction. It doesn't showcase it or show it one bit. Same problem with MK's, another kid instead of showcasing Starlight. Who is deciding these

Went on this finally on Saturday, and I absolutely loved it. I already watched videos, because I figured it's a ride I've ridden my whole life, and how much could they have actually changed? So I wasn't surprised much when on it, but it is much better in person than the videos. I feel bad that some people are not really liking this 3.0 version, because I honestly think it's my favorite version of the ride (and yes I grew up going on 1.0 version, and adored it) 2.0 was such a buzzkill for me that Test Track as whole kind of fell off my list of rides I go on every time I visit. With 3.0 it instantly jumped back up to one of my favorite rides in WDW and a must do every visit now!

It is? Summer thunderstorms often shut down attractions at epic.

I wonder what would happen if this same logic is applied to Epic.

It has happened(happens) a lot. Damage typically is minimal because lighting has direct and indirect bolts. Lighting rods and design help minimize potential damage as best they currently can. As you start looking at taller structures you start to notice lightning rods. Against popular belief. They do not attract lightning, bht help systems and structures if they hit that first.
