As an Annual Passholder myself, the upcoming preview week at EPCOT and Hollywood Studios is something I’m really excited about. Soarin’ Across America returning to EPCOT is a nostalgic treat; the ride offers stunning visuals that showcase the natural beauty and iconic landmarks of the United States. What excites me most is that there’s no need to worry about a virtual queue—just hop into the standby line during park hours. This makes it feel more spontaneous and accessible, giving us the chance to experience the attraction early without the stress of digital lines. Over at Hollywood Studios, the anticipation builds for the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets. The virtual queue system here is a bit more structured, with three daily opportunities to join: 7AM (with DHS reservation), 11AM (any park reservation, with park entry first), and 3PM (no reservation needed). From my past experiences with virtual queues, the early morning drop at 7AM tends to fill up quickly, so setting an alarm to join right as it opens is key to securing a spot. This system adds some extra excitement and strategy to the day. Another cool perk that I love about these previews is the complimentary downloadable attraction photo from Disney PhotoPass. It’s a great way to capture the fun memories without having to worry about snapping the perfect shot yourself during the ride. The fact that Disney offers this during Passholder previews shows they truly value us and want the experience to be special. For anyone planning to join, my advice is to make your park reservations early and have the My Disney Experience app ready to jump into virtual queues. Also, keep an eye on official Disney updates—you never know when things could change or when new perks might be offered. Whether you’re a thrill-seeker rushing for the Muppets coaster or a fan of scenic flights with Soarin’, this preview week seems like a must-do for Disney Annual Passholders looking to enjoy exclusive early access and maximize their park experience.
