Originally Posted By MPierce dzy76 I heard the same thing. I think it was on 9/14 that the AP holders would be able to bypass the regular line. I don't know that for a fact or how it wiould be set up.
Originally Posted By vbdad55 ^^^^^^^^^^ maybe spirit or a CM here can clarify -- the closest I have ever seen to that was AP holders in up until say Noon, and then it was anyones biz-- but I thought the norm was separate days -- but I am not there often enough to know that for sure

Originally Posted By nbodyhome It'd be nice if they let guests in for that. And yes, there will be some sort of fastpass for AP holders. Not a soft opening, just allowing APers on the 14th (through the 16th, isn't it?) to go through a special line. I had received an email on it. Denise

Originally Posted By Mickeymouseclub Yeah i did not want to start that rumor..I am just curious as to why they would be changing the brick or did I just imagine it.

AP on the 14th from what I understand will get a priority entrance. Which the line will probably be 15 mins and the priority entrance just as much that day for the anticipated attendance.
