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

I can't think of any time. Even Everest really didn't do this.

Me neither. Doesn't surprise me that this is bigger, though. It SHOULD be... with TWO rides and a whole NEW LAND, vs. one ride opening!

Loving all the posts. Almost feels like I'm there. Can't wait to go back in Aug/Sept.

So those thinking that the CM's are miserable today, their getting paid and are enjoying interacting with everyone.

After investing so much time into the pre-opening stuff, I desperately wanted to see it through and work there today, but my department is done and after the Dedication ceremony, no longer involved with Pandora.

Love to hear this!

My husband mentioned he thinks it takes longer to walk through the FP queues than to actually wait in them.

Any credibility to this photo?

Is general consensus that I should be ok getting in with an 8:40a fastpass tomorrow?

I'm not sure if you were there Monday. If so, hopefully I caught you in a pic or two. But wanted to say thanks. You have been an immeasurable asset to this discussion.

If that's an unaltered photo or unless a Leader put it out by mistake, I'm guessing it's true. The last official Advisory from Disney was posted at 11:30, should have one soon.

They all have access to The HUB as well, so I don't understand the confusion on their part.

The only other thing I can think of is a confusion between what is happening re: access for pandora as being for all of DAK.

Has anyone heard or noticed if FP+ FoP riders are only riding on one floor (i.e. the first)?

Was playing around with the mobile ordering and noticed they added a message to let you know that having an order doesn't guarantee you entry into Pandora

Will be interested to see how the late hours go for resort guests. May be better to do the lat magic hours instead of the early.

I feel sorry for the CM's today

I don't feel sorry for them, I'm happy for them. The vast majority of them voluntarily transferred to become Pandora CMs and are experienced at working attractions. It's what they've been training for and working hard for over the last two months. I like to think I know how CMs feel and I can almost assure you that they've been looking forward to every phase of the process and this is the pay off.

I have a couple friends working today. One started the day there and was so excited for opening day! The other working tonight. And has been so excited every step of the way.

It's a real photo. That's where the line ends to get in to Pandora ... you can only get in line if there is space available in front of that sign. CMs there will tell you to be ready for at least a 2 hour wait just to walk into the land, not counting how long you wait in line for a ride.

It wasn't on there at 8:30 a.m. when we ordered drinks and couldn't get in to get them.

We were on level 3. We had to go down stairs to leave. We at least had a row below us.

Have a couple of bars off reception.
Currently in the lab room
Must people are pretty done, lots of sitting on the floor. I keep letting people know how many rooms are left
The end is near

 

[Accident]

Parking is almost full. Police ready to syart diverting. Maybe 200 spots left

 

[Hannahinwonderland]

I highly, highly doubt the CMs are miserable...I know a few people who work there, they all voluntarily transferred, were super excited to do so, and they are all so pumped and excited to be sharing the land with the world!

 

[Adreana]

Are they still letting those with FPs in?

Joe Rohde is making the rounds, landed at MCO early this morning then jet setting back off to CA later for Guardians in DCA.

Wow-he must be tired! I saw him yesterday at the Guardians party, walked by him and gave him a thumbs up around 11:30, after his last panel discussion!
