yah know.

Yup, we'll get a better idea as to what's up during the next two days. I'm thinking positive.

Just wondering do you think showing the app woth our AP credentials would be enough? Fiance lost his AP card and we have been allowed to do that for discounts with ID.

Regardless, you guys should stop by a guest service spot and get another AP card. It only takes 2 seconds

Understandable, but I'm assuming, as I haven't seen what was sent out to AP/DVC guests, that Disney isn't promising being able to ride any specific attractions. Is that correct?

Correct. The AP invitation email mentioned opportunity to experience the rides, but with the standard caveat.

"You're invited to visit a groundbreaking destination, Pandora—The World of Avatar at Disney's Animal Kingdom® Theme Park. Here, you'll be among the first to experience expeditions where you can fly on the back of a banshee, walk under floating mountains and navigate a mystical Na'vi river. This world beyond belief awaits you!

As this is an early exploration of Pandora—The World of Avatar, please note that access to some areas of the Valley of Mo'ara on Pandora may be limited during your visit. The number of reservations for this event are limited and subject to availability."

yeah i thought so too but there is also this in the confirmation email.

• If an Annual Passholder would like to register a Guest to accompany them, that Guest must also have a valid annual pass for admission to the event's theme park location on the date of the event, be listed on your Family & Friends list and have opted to share "All My Plans" with you

i guess once they send out the full email ill just call and ask, i guess it cant hurt to ask. knowing disney i'm sure they will likely allow it if you ask they tend to give some leeway with that kind of stuff but you never know



its my sister and brother inlaw who now cant go, so i do have access to bands of theirs. its kinda frustrating when you have to make plans way ahead of time and you cant predict whats going to come up

I actually do NOT think they are likely to allow it. I have an DVC preview and had to call on a change in my reservation. They were adamant that ALL they would let me change was the hotel reservation information.

This is our last trip with the APs so no real benefit to pay the $20 for a replacement card. We are not local but out of state so not renewing since only 1 trip is planned next year.

Oh hmmm we were told it was $20 and that's why we decided not to do it. We'll try again when we get to AL om saturday.

 

[DisneyMaleficent50]

I went to guest relstions inside the park and got one for each of my party of 3.

Who in the world tried to charge you for a replacement AP card? We don't even have an option in the computer system for that.

Maybe they thought you meant a replacement TIW card somehow?

I think I asked at check in and they said there was a 20 fee and it had to be done at GR so since I have mine we just never did it. A lot of places online also say it is $20.

I've never had an annual pass so I'm not familiar with how they work, but it sounds like there's a card involved. What's the purpose of the card?

Card is really for discounts. We have magicbands so can get everything else with those and most places let me show my card or just see his profile in app to get the discount.

Thanks, so if you have a MB, you can enter the park, but won't be able to get a discount on purchases.

correct - same with TIW that you still need your card. I know that is one thing related to MBs that people found annoying ... in that they still need their wallet and cards, etc. for the discounts and stuff rather than all that info being connected to the MB

How fun!!! (You better have kicked butt on finals! )

 

[Billabongi]

So apologize if this has been answered, I've gone back several pages. There's seems to be a lot of concern around folks not fitting on FoP. Is there news about this somewhere I'm missing? Has there been a stated height or width issue?

NM Saw the info and pictures on page 1, get it now.
