I want to host an experience for the eclipse...

I decided last minute to host an experience on my property during the eclipse which is in 3 days. I waited to have good photos before I sent it off for submission, but it turns out my experience will take Airbnb 1-2 weeks to approve! Is there any way I can request them to speed up the process? Does anyone have an email address I can write to in order to make this request? I really want to make sure people get to experience this since I don't see any other listings for eclipse experiences in Portland. Thanks in advance! PS - I called their customer service line and got a guy who was basically reading all of their rules to give me an answer. Not very helpful because he told me straight up that "experiences are new, so I'm not 100% sure how they work." Yikes.

@Nikaya0 - No, you can't expedite the process because there are liabilities that go along with experiences that need to be vetted.  However, you can offer some fun for your guests at a cost by listing it like some hosts list meals at a cost or renting bicycles at a cost.  It won't be insured by Airbnb, but that doesn't mean you can't help guests get a great eclipse experience.  

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, I won't have any guests since I am not hosting my property out. I only wanted to host an experience.
