- I lucked out and my WDW trip overlapped with the Annual Passholder previews of Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and I was able to get a time slot too.
- So at noon we made our way over to the attraction and got in line.
- The line looked long but it started moving at noon and only took a couple minutes for us to enter.
- There were a number of cast members scanning passes/Magic Bands.
- 12:02pm - Ready to enter the attraction queue.
- The health warnings.
- The wait time sign was not in operation today.
- We only had a short walk outside before entering the building.
- An extended outdoor queue was set up.
- Entering the building you first visit the Wonders of Xandar. This area of the queue is set up to be an exhibit.
- Disney Video: Disney shared these video clips of the queue. Due to the nature of the preview I was not able to stop and take a lot of pictures or videos of the queue. So wanted to include these to give another look at the space. (Note there is no audio)
- The ceiling features projections and the queue snakes through the large room.
- Here you can see the queue making its way up and through the room.
- Here are a couple video clips of this portion of the queue.

- This portion of the queue looked empty as it is the walkway for Lightning Lane returns.
- Looking back. The open walkway on the left is for Lightning Lane returns.
- Continuing further into the building.
- The next room featured a series of exhibits.
- The challenge with this space is the line was moving quickly and you really did not have time to stop and watch or look at anything.

- Disney Image: A look at the model.
- As you can see there were gaps as groups were hurried along and others tried to pause to see the displays.
- We were not able to pause to watch any of the video.
- 12:16pm - We next entered a large waiting room that the cast members were quickly trying to fill. We were directed to the front of the room near the doors.
- Due to being in the very front our view of the preshow was not ideal.
- Video Clip of the preshow.
