I ended up booking at Paradise Pier so we have EMH both days. Who knows how things will shake out in the end, but my plan is to rope drop one of the GE rides and FP the other. I’m getting MaxPass too.I'm in the same boat! I am going in August for 2 days and it's the only time we can go. I've been debating about switching to a DL resort for the EMM, but it's much more expensive than the hotel we've booked. I'm considering adding a park day to our arrival day and will definitely use MaxPass. We are going during the week, Wednesday and Thursday.
I would be tempted to do this, but Paradise Pier standard rooms aren't available for our dates - only club level at more than $600 a night! So, I'll do my best with MaxPassI ended up booking at Paradise Pier so we have EMH both days.

We were just there this past weekend and a CM told us they are behind schedule because of all this rain. I think you'd be safe in May for sure.Oh wow. We purposely booked the beginning of May (8-12), as we’ve been that time before with low crowds. It’s funny how some people are booking, hoping to catch the opening and some wish to avoid it. Fingers crossed beginning of May is still a good bet!
Ummm, not sure you heard this from, but I am pretty sure it is inaccurate. Pretty good rumor source is saying previews May, opening June 21st. Although anyone working back there can only say they are still kicking dirt!We were just there this past weekend and a CM told us they are behind schedule because of all this rain.

What happens during "previews"? Would it be open to those that are in the park at that time?

Previews are usually a first viewing of the area for those interested. It is not open to all in the park. You have to sign up and there are various options usually. For example, I did the Cars Land preview when it opened in 2012. We got to ride all the rides, taste the various foods, and walk down Buena Vista Street before it reopened.What happens during "previews"? Would it be open to those that are in the park at that time?
Cars had several days of previews and all sold out. Guardians sold out, Pixar did not.The Cars ones I think sold out. Don't remember if the Guardians ones sold out, but the Pixar ones did not.
I do not expect the previews for SW:GE to be cheap. I am estimating $500-750 per person. Cars Land was cheap, I think it was $50 or 75. I think GOTG was $150, and Pixar was $250.
For me, Cars Land and GOTG was a big yes. Pixar Pier, not really. I don't regret it, but it was a little much.For those who have done the previews in the past, did you think it was worth the money to you personally?
My DIL is a CM. The word is that media previews are expected in May.
