Just got an email:

Passholder Play Time*
Get ready to play big! Select Gold, Platinum, Platinum Plus and Premier Passholders, experience exclusive access to Toy Story Landat Disney's Hollywood Studios® on select dates and times this September.
*This event will have limited capacity and registration will be required. Invitations will be sent to select Gold, Platinum, Platinum Plus and Premier Passholders via email this summer for Passholder Play Time. Registration will be on a first-come, first-served basis.

I've never received a single email, so I guess I will be excluded.

It's back on the annual passholder page.

This is a bummer, that’s an after view, not a preview. Our last day is the 28th so I guess I’ll keep my fingers crossed for a soft opening

Be Sure to Register!
Advance registration is required—so be on the lookout for an event invitation with registration details in your email. If an eligible Passholder would like to register a Guest to accompany them, that Guest must also have a valid Gold, Platinum, Platinum Plus or Premier annual pass, be listed on your Family & Friends list and have opted to share “All My Plans” with you. Event capacity is limited and is subject to availability.

Seems a little unnecessary to limit it to "eligible" or "select" Gold+ AP holders and also their guests who have to also be Gold+ AP holders. Why not just invite all active Gold+ and a guest of their choosing?

Please Note:
Gold, Platinum, Platinum Plus and Premier Passholders must pre-register by making an online reservation for ONE event. There is no additional charge for this event. Valid annual pass and photo ID required at check-in. Activities and attractions are subject to change without notice.

At least that's good news.

Yeah I’m expecting this to be like AP extra magic hours or something.

 

[LucyBC80]

Oh, I arrive on the 26th! I hope the after-previews goes on till then.

I’m guessing the other levels weren’t included because their tickets wouldn’t be eligible during the expected time of a preview/when TSL opens. Not that I agree, but maybe that’s the logic? For the email, my assumption is that’s their escape clause for the many of us who don’t receive emails. I assume the “selected” guests are those who get the email because it actually went through. Count me in camp random emails so I probably won’t get this one either

My hope is that any 'eligible' AP holder can register. I didn't receive any email for the Pandora preview, but I read on the DIS about the preview and successfully registered through the link that was posted. I'm hoping that we're not penalized for not receiving emails. We have platinum passes.

My point was that people who are invited can bring a guest if they'd like, but the fine print says that the "plus-one" also has to have at least a Gold AP, which seems a little unfair. No days in September are blocked out for Silver or Weekday Select APs (except, of course, Weekday Select can't go on Saturdays or Sundays).

 

[Gus V.]

We have platinum passes and we also received the email for the September Passholder Playtime. We will be there in October though, so we probably won’t make a special trip for it

I already have a trip booked in September with my niece. I was very excited to see this, until I read the fine print (bold and italics above). I'm a Platinum passholder and live over 600 miles away. My niece is not a passholder. It would be nice if they allowed you to bring in any guest. From things I have read on other posts, there are lots of families that only have one passholder since you really only need one to utilize the discounts. That's going to cause some problems.

At least there is no additional charge for the event.

I little frustrated on 3 points.
1. I don't get any AP emails as well as many on here.
2. Somewhere in the thread I got impression not even all gold, platinum, and platinum plus holders were "invited", but the passholder site does not imply that.
3. if the "guest" needs an eligible pass too, how is that a "guest"

 

[FastPasser.]

As usual, looks like CMs will be the first large group to participate in a scheduled test and adjust of Slinky Dog.

If randomly selected, Cast Members plus one Cast Member Guest will be able to ride Slinky Dog June 14-18. Only Slinky Dog Dash will be part of the test and adjust experience. Alien Swirling Saucers, additional attractions, food and beverage and merchandise locations will not be available.

 

[FastPasser.]

I think there's a possibility that the DHS CMs attending the Pep Rally may get some sort of TSL preview.

they likely will get no preview, a small chance at a limited preview.

It is still an active construction site. hard hat, glasses, vests, steel toes.

If randomly selected, Cast Members plus one Cast Member Guest will be able to ride Slinky Dog June 14-18.

Where do you find this on the passholder site? I don't see it anywhere.

I'm in the same boat i never get the AP emails.

Just going to throw this out there if any cast member needs a Guest I would be willing and already present on June 18th.

It can't hurt to go in and update your preferences and try to get it to send emails again. Make sure to check any and all spam filters too. Especially if your provider has one that is controlled by them. You never know what key word used could have triggered an email to end up in that folder, even one you signed up for. I found out my Passholder emails were in my providers Spam provider folder a couple years ago. Once I tagged it as Not Spam, I started getting them all the time.

I know others are disappointed with the timing of the Passholder event but I'm actually happy. It will mean we can combine it with our Halloween event trip. I was just talking to DH last night trying to figure out when we can make our Halloween Horror Night plans. Now we'll just make it for whenever the Passholder thing at TSL happens. Provided one of us gets an invitation. Luckily I have his Passholder account set to my email so I get 2 copies of each email now, the one sent for my Pass and the one sent for his.

 

[SaintsManiac]

So I went to my email account and searched for any passholder emails. I found the "welcome" email from when we purchased them, added the sender to my contacts and BOOM got the TSL email a few minutes later.

Hopefully we get to register!!!

pretty much right, they get limited access up to slinky which is mostly done. they wont have access to anything past the new entrance to tsmm... no bathrooms food service or aliens. they have a week to clear out the from the blue wall up to sdd. those going to training will not access those areas either without the proper ppe. when directors are showing up in the areas with hardhats, boots, etc. I would be willing to bet that the people under them are held to the same level of protection.
