What are anyone's earliest memories of a DL/WDW soft opening?
These openings vary from attraction to attraction, but does anyone remember when the Parks stopped hard/definite openings to start soft openings of attractions or performances?

I remember the only time I ever rode the Astro Orbiter at DLR was the soft opening for it, I think it was like a month before the "New" Tland opend.

I dont know if this counts but I got to go to one of the Indy Preview parties. We got a free pass to the park, then when it was time to close everyone who was invited met at the wonderbra theater. From there we watched a short presentation including a video of upcoming disney events/projects.

After the presentation we were walked over to Indy. My friend and I worked our way towards the front of the group so by the time we stopped in the line we were at the end of the projection room. We rode the ride and when we were done we had til 4am or so to enjoy the rest of the park. GREAT NIGHT!!!
