As anxious as I am to experience the new Star Tours ride, I think I'd opt for the tour. Like you mentioned, there may not be a soft opening - or they could run it sporadically through the day - and since your time is short, I'd go with the sure thing.

Has anyone been able to take advantage of a soft opening? do you just hang around outside the attraction for hours and hours hoping to get in? (I agree Carol, I hate to waste my short amount of time!)

Wouldn't it be great if all the Destination D attendees got a Fast Pass of sorts to head over to Star Tours for that weekend?!?

Go with the sure thing. I'd take the Marceline tour. Star Tours can wait for another trip (you need a reason to go back again soon, right?)

I am so with you, wanting to be among the first to experience the new Star Tours. Don't give up hope! There is actually a schedule posted for a Disneyland ST2 soft opening. Star Tours at DL closed first, so they are a little ahead of WDW. If a schedule gets posted for the Studios, it's sure to get posted here too. So keep watching, and don't book that MK tour just yet.

since this is your first solo trip (im assuming you have children), i'd go w/ the Marceline tour. your kids would probably enjoy the star tours, and may be bored at teh marceline tour.

The soft openings at DL are still a RUMOR! Just wanted to clarify that. If they do happen, it seems it will only be May 20 and 21st. The AP preview days begin on May 22, but APs had to enter a lottery and must "win" a chance to go. It's not for all AP holders.

O.K. so after i read this more closely, the soft opening may only be for those who have been chosen through a registration process, and not for the general public.

Yeah, that's what I was saying. I'm a DL AP holder, and I had to register for a CHANCE to attend one of these events. I had to check mark all the times I'd be able to go. If I get chosen, I can bring 3 other AP holders with me (my DH and 2 boys).
They also did this with FInding Nemo Submarine Voyage. I did not win a chance to attend a soft opening that time...

We've been A/P holders for 9 (going on 10) years straight, and I can't recall that Disney World has ever done passholder previews in this manner with a lottery. Can anyone confirm that?
At any rate, whichever you choose to go for, I'm sure you're going to have a fantastic time!

Very true! I booked the Marceline Tour and I think I have up to 48 hours prior to cancel and still receive a refund. I probably will be debating right up to the very last minute!
(sure is going to be rough getting up for the tour to be at park by 8am, after being at MK till 2am the night before!!! )

I'd definitely do the Marceline Tour.
I would hate to ride Star Tours 2 without my family. (And I think they would hate on me for doing it.)
-
What a lucky girl am I. Got to do Marceline tour AND got a soft opening for Star Tours. I was able to ride a bunch of things the kiddos won't do on my trip. And now that I've ridden it, I'm pretty sure this is one that won't scare the kids! (I'm certain Tower of Terror is not for them yet! LOL)

Awesome! So glad everything worked out & you were able to really enjoy your short but sweet solo trip! Would love to hear more about everything - including your Marceline Tour & the Destination D festivities!
