Further Confirmation that Pandora might open at the end of May

[Strikan]

Rides are running, the land is nearing completion from the exterior (check out the aerials that came out yesterday), so I have no reason to believe that Pandora won't be open in late May.

Where can you find the latest aerial shots?

Opps sorry - totally missed that.

So am I missing something or is there really only one ride building reaching completion right now? Just the water boat ride?

Both rides are within the same building. The larger part of the building holds flight of passage the soarin like ride. The smaller part of the building holds the boat ride.

Ahh interesting. Thanks.

Most of September is summer ............ so are we down to 33%?

Oh wait, summer starts June 21st, looks like OP might miss it.

Disney summer doesn't really follow the traditional calendar summer.

Your odds are quite good.

Those are dates that CMs can't go to the parks or bring guests.

As will we. I am excited to see it, no doubt. But I'm really worried about the AK crowds....

I planned to only do Universal Memorial Day weekend instead of Disney. I was really happy about that decision when it looked like Pandora was going to open that weekend. I didn't want to have to deal with the crowds. Now, I have the Volcano Bay problem to deal with Oh well, it could be a lot worse.

After all, according to Disney, it is SPRING there right now.

If you live where I live, it is spring there right now.

Yes, this!!! I kind of wanted it to open after we were there so I wouldn't have to worry about the crowds. But it is looking more and more like we will be some of the first to see Pandora.

From a glass half full perspective, A newly opened Pandora would draw people out of the other parks in droves.


I'm trying to decide if I care enough to re-watch the movie before my June Trip. Perhaps on the flight down using my Google Daydream, that might be appropriate.
