***Official*** Pandora: The World of Avatar Information Thread

I remember thinking the Na'vi River Journey queue seemed a little too small to accommodate the opening crowds and sure enough it has stretched pretty far into the main walkway.
Here's the map we received Monday. If it's already been posted, I apologize. The thread is so long now it's worth another look.

The pathways heading toward and running between attractions - #1 & #2 looked pretty jammed in the twitter pics. https://twitter.com/hashtag/visitpandora?f=tweets&vertical=default&src=hash

I just got one a teal "Banshee" one on Ebay if you don't mind paying a bit more and no I'm not the Ebay seller but just letting you know. There is one left for $39.99 plus shipping. I figure if I'm able to get another in the near future, I can always give the other to my husband.

I don't buy from resellers on ebay. The big reason being is that we all agree upon using our AP not to resell the merchandise for profit and if it is on ebay they are doing it for profit.

Edit to add I have bought Disney stuff on ebay months/years afer it was discontinued but when it has only been a couple days the resellers just irritate me.

This area was open when we were there for our AP preview on Tuesday, May 16, 2017.

It's a "smoking area" soft opening.
Although it's temporary, I'm guessing that smokers are glad that there are smoking areas closer than one mile apart.

I agree and I would never consider paying over a certain price for anything but $39.99 is reasonable and hardly a profit with fees. It is certainly your decision to make. Just letting you know, that's all.

Someone has one listed for $170.00. I don't mind someone reselling something like this and you have to remember there are Ebay fees (10% on both final value and shipping) so selling it for $39.99 means the seller is making maybe $5 total. The real issue is that some sellers have several of them that they are selling and then you are seeing some with that incredible markup. I also tried to get the other MB and it is already sold out online at Disney Store.

I don't mind people reselling them - I do hate when people go and buy out a store just with the intent of then reselling everything .... so I sort of leave it to Disney to put a cap on how many of limited merchandise you can buy

If someone buys a couple extra, keeps one and sells the others, that is different to me than someone going and and buying 100 just to resell all of them at crazy markups

I see the wait for the River Ride is up to 75 minutes now:

And weirdly enough, according to MDE app, FoP is 65!

How do you get reservations for the make your own avatar in windtraders

That's just wrong and it means one of three things.

1) They are available today.
2) Someone is putting up postings in anticipation of buying
3) Something that goes without saying, but I would prefer to think that's not the case

They probably don't have the actual stuff yet. They will race over tomorrow and buy everything they can All Disney had to do is limit it to one per AP to leave both the seller and buyer whining but they won't.

yeah, I wonder why that is? B/C people wouldn't have FP for either ride today,right? Maybe people have FP for FoP for later in their trip or something? Or are that many people not into the intense ride like that and the river ride really will be that popular?

If the stuff isn't actually out that is even worse to me. Ebay specifically says items must be in hand before you can list them. SMH.

You have to go and sing up when I was there for the preview it was an hour long wait ( they gave you a time to come back0 and I think it took 10 to get your picture taken then you had to come back again to pick it up. if you want to do this I would go as early as you can to get a time slot ( maybe RD one ride then go)

Im going in Sept so you think you could get a ride in and than go to sign up or should you go right at RD....did you do this and how did you like it

It's possible they may not be running NRJ at full capacity and have some boats not in rotation.

That CM in the photo is a character. If anyone runs into him, ask him a question that you know he'll obviously not be allowed to answer and notice his response. His name starts "W" and ends with an "L"

FP slows down the SB line. If there were FPs right now, that line is easily pushing over 2 hours.

Someone ask him what time the 3pm parade is

Yeah no FPs today.

I was wondering about this as well - I was thinking this could be something with FoP (not running all theaters) but didn't think something similar could be at play for the river ride
