Sorry if this was already answered but I don't have time to read all 185 pages. We have the AP preview Friday 6-8 pm. Do they empty out the land before the next group is allowed in ? If not I may cancel because I'm not driving 8 hours to be told our preview is cancelled because they are full.

No, but it won't be a problem. Since the previews have started, there has been plenty of room in the area, Na'vi River Journey has largely been a walk-on. It's only the vouchers to ride Flight of Passage that runs out early in each window.

Okay Thank you. I'm driving 500 miles to experience this early. I'm hoping to arrive well before our 6-8 window. But it will be heart breaking to not get to ride FOP this time and have to wait until our Halloween trip.

Accident did you try the margarita?

Or has anyone tried that blue moose thing yet

I did not, the line was kind of long and we were kind of ready to go when it wasn't.

Just be prepared that you may not get to ride. It is not guaranteed and some days does better then others. 1st day the 6-8 group didn't get on (a few hundred did but not the majority) but the next day everyone was fine. Today I believe everyone has gotten on as well. IF FOP is why you are coming down just remember it is still previews and anything can be up or down with out warning.

We did the non-alcoholic one. It was good. Tart but nice. We got the cool souviner mug that makes it a personal bioluminescent drink hehe.

We did the 3-5 preview today and absolutely loved it all! Got in line about 1:30 and entered Pandora at 2:00. I get queasy if I have to stand on the Disney busses but had no problem with FoP - it was amazing!! Be sure to walk through the standby line - it was well worth the time. NRJ was lovely (we rode a few times) and all desserts were delicious. We'll try "real" food on our next visit.

I tried the mo'ara Margarita and was only ok for me, I also tried the non alcoholic and that one was tastier. I'm assuming you're talking about the cheesecake, that is amazing!!

Excellent post, couldn't have expressed it any better or any more accurate.

Really, the non alcoholic was better? OK, whoever kidnapped Yulilin3, we'll pay the ransom.

I've seen some posts before regarding soft openings. However, I haven't seen the dates we'll be there discussed.

We are AP holders, but i actually had the kids down for spring break when the previews were announced, by the time i saw that evening they were all booked

So disappointed, but DH and I will be down next week for an ann trip. Checking in the 21st, last park day the 24th. Any rumblings of soft openings during that time?

I hate pictures of myself. But to help a fellow diser feel better I am sharing this picture of me today shortly before I got on FOP. I was worried, but I squished as far forward as I could and I sat up straight as the back restraint came up. I find hunching forward pushes your butt out. I fit with no problem. It was AMAZING!

Thank you kindly for sharing your picture! This makes me feel a bit better!

Question about Satu’li Canteen. Our slot is 9am-11am but I was hoping to try the lunch food there instead of breakfast. Will we be allowed to stay until they start serving lunch? Also does anyone know what time lunch starts there? Thank you!

you can stay as long as you want. Lunch probably starts at 10:30am or 11am

I will never live down my love for the gingerbread drink from the dessert party last year, right? Thanks again for finding the recipe for me

This preview you're referring to on Youtube - is it the 2.20" clip which shows only part of the ride? That's all I can find right now of an actual ride clip.

Yes.

Being Pooh sized with heavy calves and thighs, I have a feeling I won't be able to ride FOP. Which makes me very sad.

Very unlikely. AP previews last until May 22nd. Then there's a few media days going until May 25th

That's absolutely not to be assumed. The vast majority of Pooh sized people are able to do it.

Anyone who has done the preview - is the only entry/exit the one next to Nomad Lounge? I thought on the maps that there's also supposed to be some kind of tunnel coming out by FOTLK? I'm really curious to see how they do that and wondering if it's open or closed off well before that area or just a rumor. Thanks!
