This past July, the WDW Ambassador’s Instagram account announced that Cast Members will be able to first experience this new attraction, which has been opened since 2014 at Disneyland Paris. Shortly after, Jeff Vahle, President, Walt Disney World Resort, posted on his Instagram account that “if you’re not a Cast Member, there may still be a way for you to see this attraction before it opens. More details to come!”

Today, emails went out to Disney Vacation Club (DVC) Members informing them that they can experience EPCOT’s newest attraction on 5, 17, and 20 September 2021, before it opens to guests in October. Registration for one of the previews began today.

Disney stated that guests who booked their reservation “using their Membership” no later than Sunday, 1 August 2021, would be eligible to experience this attraction. Only guests and those part of their reservation may be included. Disney stated that a valid theme park reservation will be needed, however, guests will not need an EPCOT theme park reservation to attend the event.

In addition to Cast Members, Annual Passholders will also be given early access to the new attraction at the France Pavilion.
