June 3rd events schedule???

[DARTH MAUL]

With this being the big launch for ST, TLM, and Soundsational I was just wondering if anyone knew of or had seen any kind of event schedule for ribbon cuttings, special guests, or anything else that might be happening at the parks on June 3rd.

[DARTH MAUL]

Nothing huh?

[QuiGonJ]

I read somewhere that TLM was opening on the 2nd at 9:30am, and ST2 on the 3rd, but I can't find where I saw that. I'll keep looking.


update: Disney’s California Adventure Park « Disney Parks Blog

okay, they both open on the 3rd... I sent an e-mail with specific questions.

I was told by guest relations that Mermaid will have a dedication on the 2nd, but will only be open to press and media that day.

Star Tours officially opens the 3rd and Soundsational will already be playing a week earlier.

Thanks Rongo!

My e-mail to the park also asked when gates will be open to line up and stuff. I'll update if I hear anything.

[DARTH MAUL]

Awesome! Thanks

I wonder if the general area will be roped off for the Ariel ceremony, anyone know? They can't shut down the park...Could someone like me, like stand in the distance and see it all transpire? Will Bob Iger, George Lucas, and the C-3PO guy be there? I need details, people!

Did you happen to ask if Mickey and Friends Structure will be open early on the 3rd? I wanna get there early in the morning...

[QuiGonJ]

I actually did ask that very question, since my friend wants to get there at 4AM.

Could be a week till I get an answer, per the guidelines in the acknowledgment they did send me, but I will post it as soon as I see something.

And I now have an answer. I called the park and found out... the park will be treating the day like any other for the public. The Mickey and Friends parking will open at 7AM (one hour before opening at 8AM), and the bridge to get in from the Disneyland Way exit will open at that time as well. No early parking.

Seriously? Now I don't know what I'm gonna do..

[QuiGonJ]

Sorry boss, I wish I had a better answer, but that's what they told me. Maybe you could do like I'm doing, and get a hotel across the way so you can enter the moment the gates on Harbor open up. A place on property would probably be even better.

So the little Mermaid event on the 2nd is a media ceremony, and the actual public opening is on the 3rd? Am I understanding that right?
