Spaceship Earth nearly ready?

I was in Epcot last Wednesday and heard a duty rumour that although
"Winter" is the official opening time for SE, it is expected to open
on December 18th.

Forgive me if this has already been done.

I have heard that soft openings are imminent.

Cool PP!
I'm jealous :)
I was thinking that a year ago today, DH and I were leaving for our 10
days at the Poly and our first RADP meet.

Hello,


It was reported in todays paper and on the local news that it will have soft
openings in Mid December.

Hope that helps,

Take care,

Bill

Sadly, no surprise visit.
I know I can't complain after last Dec. trip and the trip with DD in
Sept-2 long trips in 10 months but I WANT to go back NOW. Love the Xmas
decorations.

I am hoping to see SE when I am down there the last week in December.
More often than not, I seem to miss soft openings by a week one way or
another.

Though I have managed a few. Most recent was when they opened the Nemo
ride in The Seas. It was on one of my solo trips to visit my daughter,
and we visited on a day that we heard that previews might start.
However, construction walls were up and no previews were happening
that day.

The next day I was heading over to EPCOT on my own while my daughter
was at work, and as the monorail passed overhead, I noticed that the
construction walls were down, so I decided to go take some pictures.
When I got there, the entrance was still manned by a CM stating that
the attraction was not yet open. Then ... as I was finishing my
picture taking, he moved the rope and asked anyone in the area if they
wanted to be the first to try out the ride ... which I did - twice.
Later in the week, my daughter and I rode again when they had CM
previews.
