We are going next Saturday. What are the wait times in the FP lines like. Specifically in Pandora, but curious about everywhere.
 
Varies under all kinds of circumstances.
Generally, between 4 minutes to 25 minutes depending on everything.
 
- It is rare for any FP wait at any normally-operating attraction to exceed 15-20 minutes. This includes the most popular or lowest capacity attractions such as Avatar Flight of Passage or Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. However, be aware that some attraction preshows (FOP, notably) can take 5 minutes or more, and for purposes of this thread FP wait is not figured into total attraction time (to include pre-show, boarding, and attraction time).
 
The longest FP waits we had on our trip (which turned out to be half CL10 days) were our FOP FPs--both almost 20 minutes. The rest were closer to 5, if that.
 

We've had some long FP wait times at HS, when ToT went down. This happened on two separate vacations last summer. The entire population holding FPs for ToT were then issued those "use anytime, anywhere" FPs, which then lead to crazy long FP lines at RnR. Longer than the standby lines. When there aren't a lot of rides in a park, and one goes down, it can affect the FP lines (not sure if they issue those FPs at Epcot, but Test Track has been known to be down a lot).
 
I was there this past week and we basically walked on to almost every FP we had except for the ones that have some sort of pre-show of course.. the only FP we waited for was Soarin and it was probably about 15 mins but then we got placed in B1 so I'm not complaining! This is our first trip to WDW ( going back Tuesday for a few more days) and I was very pleasantly surprised at how well fastpass worked but it was also a low crowd time so I'm sure that affects things as well
 
Rarely have we had a FP time over 10 minutes. FoP was 15 minutes. Still much better than 150 minutes stand by.

That was our experience too. Even when standby was very long. PotC yesterday had a wait time of 50 mins and FP was less than 10. The only time we waited longer than ~10 mins was when there were ride issues (a theater went down at FOP so that turned into 20-25 mins).
 
Like I always do I check ride times in the weeks approaching so I have a handle on that. Ive also had times hat the fp line is huge, worried about FOP and how it will fit but it really doesn't matter, any Fp wait is better than the standby on that ride.
 
One thing you have to remember about FP is that it is just faster then the stsndby line When a ride goes down and they give out anytime FP and people go to other ride like at HS where it looks like the standby line is shorter it is not because where the mirge point is instead of taking 30 standby and 40 FP they will take one family from standby and 70 from FP making FP move much faster. Once RNR was out past the first touch point and back stage but it just took 15 minutes to get past the Preshow room.

Last year we went Saorin was posted at 110 minutes . We had fp hey were literally only letting in fp. We had to wait 25 minutes. There we 15-20 people in the standby que. I feel like fp is killing standby.

more then likey the FP line was down and the FP line was backed up. same thing happend at space standby line was not long at all but the FP line was due to the ride being down and they late a lot of FP in.
