Two major Disney World rides are opening soon, and some guests will get to ride them before anyone else.
If you’ve been waiting to experience Disney World’s newest attractions, there’s some good news, but it comes with a catch. Early previews are officially on the way, and they’re happening sooner than you might expect.
Walt Disney World has announced that Cast Member previews are officially coming for two highly anticipated attractions: Soarin’ Across America at EPCOT and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Eligible Cast Members will be able to register starting May 6 through internal channels like Cast Life, selecting a preview time slot ahead of the rides’ official debut. Preview opportunities are expected to take place throughout the month of May.
Both attractions are set to open to the public on May 26, meaning previews will give Cast Members an early look at two of the biggest updates happening across the parks this year.
Soarin’ Across America is a reimagined version of the classic flight simulator, created as part of Disney’s celebration of the United States’ 250th anniversary. The updated experience will take guests on a sweeping journey across iconic American landscapes and landmarks.
Meanwhile, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets brings a completely new storyline to the high-speed attraction, following the Electric Mayhem band as guests help them race across Los Angeles to make it to their next show.
While these initial previews are for Cast Members, Disney has also hinted that additional preview opportunities may be announced for groups like Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club members in the near future.
That means more guests could get the chance to ride early — so it’s definitely one to watch!
Cast Member previews are often the first real sign that a ride is ready for guests.
And with two major attractions opening on the same day, this signals a big moment for Walt Disney World as it continues rolling out new experiences across multiple parks.
If you’re planning a Disney trip soon, these are two rides you’ll want to keep on your must-do list. Follow along for updates on additional previews and opening day details.
