I don't know what smells there would be, but I would assume there would be a couple gusts of wind.

Heads I'm right, tails I'm wrong, let me know

Did that Autopia announcement ever come to pass?

Didn't see this anywhere in the thread.

Fort Wilderness will be hosting a themed event this fall based around "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" - including a meet & greet with the Headless Horseman and some other activities.

That's a pretty cool event - and at a reasonable price, no less!

Thanks! Do these usually fill fast?

Yes. 13th and 14th are all gone. No Pandora for me

Edit: I'm in! DVC was not full, just AP!

Bob Iger mentioned yesterday that you will feel the pulse of the Banshee. I would guess yes there will be some scents.

No and I am wondering why. It wasn't a rumor, Honda was the one that said there will be an announcement.

Hmmm. I wonder what a banshee smells like?

And I thought I read somewhere about feeling the sensation of the sun (heat).

oh, is the heat from the sun? The way I read it I thought they meant you would feel like the body heat from the banshee, but I could definitely be off with that

DLP, literally just finished the last performance of Disney Magic on Parade. They did give it a great sendoff.

Looks like the Pandora Passholder preview is sold out...

Isn't it that they added Asimo?

Yes which debuted today but an announcement was supposed to be made yesterday that wasn't.

AP is sold out, but I just got in on the DVC link.

So will only certain resorts are going to get access to the Pandora EMH?

Select is pretty much their go-to wording.

Technically for EMH in general they use "select Walt Disney World Resort hotels"



Here's what they define "select Walt Disney World Resort hotels":


*Again speaking in regards to a generality not aimed specifically at the Pandora EMH offering just giving some information*

ETA: actually here is what they list on their page for Extra Magic Hours definition on their website (can't add the screenshot but here is the wording)

{Special Hours for Pandora – The World of Avatar
To help you maximize your visit to the newest land at Disney’s Animal Kingdom park, “Extra” Extra Magic Hours will be offered exclusively in Pandora – The World of Avatar—available for a limited time from 11 PM to 1 AM, May 27 to July 4, 2017!

Please note: this benefit is in addition to the Extra Magic Hours already available to Disney Resort hotel Guests at Disney’s Animal Kingdom park.}

Here's what they define "select Walt Disney World Resort hotels":

To add, I believe it's because being on property doesn't automatically give you access (Disney Springs resorts on Hotel Boulevard for example)

Wow. Color me not impressed. I know it was a fantasy that there would be a huge redesign or electric cars - but they've added a stationary "robot". It couldn't even wave?

Maybe next year.
