Via the Annual Passholder website, Disney has announced a passholder preview of the new Toy Story Mania attraction on May 10 - 12, 2008.  There has been no word from DVC at this point, however in recent years DVC members have been included in similar attraction previews. 

According to a source, Disney will soon announce Toy Story Mania preview dates for Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club members.  The current dates being targeted are May 10th, 11th and 12th.
