AK at opening (EMH) not doing Pandora

[Eccle]

I was just wondering how others had found AK at opening if they weren't heading into Pandora? We have FPs for FOP so don't have to rush there, if we were to arrive for 8am will we just get trapped by all the crowds and struggle to access the rest of the park? I'm guessing as so many are going into Pandora the wait times for the rest of the park will be low for the first hour or so?

It’s awesome. It’s crowded getting in, but we headed to Expedition Everest and rode it 6 times between standby and single rider. Then did primeval whirl with a FP and Dinosaur with a 10 minute wait. Fp safari and FOP, and we’re hopping to Epcot by lunch.

It depends...are you asking about an 8 am or 9 am park opening? if 8 am opening, no...you'll be fine. If you're talking about a 9 am opening 8 am would put you right in the "thickness".

Id say arrive closer to 9 to avoid some of the madness, running, crazy people.

I'm guessing as so many are going into Pandora the wait times for the rest of the park will be low for the first hour or so?

Yes...once those get off of FoP they'll head to their favorites but the first 30 minutes you could do just about anything not in Pandora time after time with no wait whatsoever
