Couldn't get FP for FoP for upcoming trip this week, but snagged a NRJ. At least we can enjoy one ride for sure!

Wondering when they'll open SR line for FoP. Anyone know?

 

[MomofDisneyLoversx3]

Definitely FoP - that seems to be the big ride and no matter how good the queue is, a multi hour line is still a multi hour line

I know the river ride had long lines today (well, yesterday at this point) but based on feedback and not everyone thinking it was worth the wait I don't expect that to retain long lines like FoP will

All I hear/read is people doing FoP multiple times if they can vs River Ride being more of a "one and done" even for people that liked it

Thanks for the tip. That is what I tried, but at 7 am they were all gone s I did score a 8:45 NRJ so hopefully we can get into FoP at opening.

I'm sure single rider will be opened up any day now. They probably just wanted to avoid it for opening day or opening weekend. I'm sure by this Tuesday they'll have it up

Not sure about Single Rider line - but I am also curious to see how it fares. This isn't a ride with small numbers per row (like Everest or something) where they would often need a single to fill a row so just not clear how much of a benefit being in the single rider line will be

Glad you got the one ride and if you can get there for Rope Drop you can experience the full queue for RoP!

bummer about that - at least you got one (are you off site or onsite? Just curious as to if they were gone at the 30 day window or already at the 60)

Hopefully you can get on FoP at rope drop and then at least you get to see the whole queue

 

[freediverdude]

Someone on another board posted that it's already open this morning and right now there's no line, he walked right on FoP, lol.

 

[lovethattink]

I don't think they are opening up cancelled FP+ in Pandora. Yesterday, @yulilin3 tried to coordinate it. I had a FP for ds and I. He wasn't up to tyre crowds. Cancelled each one individually, and neither showed up for her to snag.

We are staying off site....for the first time in 10+ years. So this was a 30 day window (6/27 to be exact) Oh well.

Did anyone know before this? I had a Girl Scout troop pick AK as thier reward trip for selling cookies long before February. I couldn't uproot and change plans on Ten parents and 10 girls as late as February. As a result Pandora completely ruined our trip. I've never seen anything like it. Not at Disney.

I was wondering what we did wrong most of the day.

ok, thanks - that fits with what I was seeing before. Within the 60 day window people were doing ok getting FP for both (though for FoP was largely later in the day) and at 30 it was largely just river journey available

I would keep stalking the site and look to see if anything for FoP comes up - seeing reports of some people switching out of fear of the ride being too intense or not fitting into the ride vehicle

I have said this before and I'll say it again. Mobile Ordering is the best!!
I used it 3 times yesterday. First I used it around 8:30 am for breakfast. The ordering line was about 10 minutes. I sat down and ordered my food through the app, paid and said "I'm here" in 2 minutes got the notiffication that it was ready and proceed to the Mobile pick up window. It took less than a minute
For lunch the regular wait was about 15 minutes at 3pm, they notified me my food was ready in about 5 minutes.
In the evening I wanted to try the Mo'ara beer and Pongu Pongu line was about 20 minutes long, I remembered seeing this beer in the Satu'li menu, ordered it, had it in my hand within 5 minutes
Obviously wait times will get longer as people learn about this but still no need to wait in line anymore, you could wait sitting at your table

Thanks for these reports - glad to hear it was running smoothly. While some people with start to use it I still think it will be the minority - I mean, you still see people not use it at starbucks or panera bread ... and heck, I've used the app to make FP for a ride that I am right out front that has plenty of FP availability and the standby line is 30+ minutes. I think a lot of people still don't feel comfortable using the mobile technology or don't think of it, etc.

I do hope they add this at more locations - even just having it at Pongu Pongu would be cool to order a drink from the app and be able to just go up and grab it with no wait

what did you think of the beer BTW?

Merged your thread into the official Pandora thread. This thread has been discussing Pandoras opening since March. Page 1 has a nice little history of Pandora section that @rteetz has nicely put together.

Sorry if this was already asked and covered. Did anyone get an idea or experience the seat size on FoP to see what the restrictions may be? Who would have a hard time fitting? I know there is a test seat out now, so experience from that is good too!

It was good but I liked the Hawkes Grog better. I don't know anything about beer other than what I like and dislike, and I have noticed that I like lighter colored beer, the dark stuff is not for me

Cancelling FP's and having someone else try to get it is very hard. I tried a couple weeks ago with someone on here for 7dmt and they were never able to see them come up

just saw Alex from WDW tweet out that single rider is open this morning and currently 0 minute wait

   For all those wondering, single rider for Flight of Passage is OPEN and there is currently a 0 minute wait #visitpandora

How do you think FoP will be for younger children (8-10 range)? Too intense?

My 6&8 year olds deemed it the best ride in the World. 8 year old is a ride chicken, 6 year old thought EE was ok, but didn't want to do it again, but would have ridden BTMRR on repeat.

There is a lot of coverage of the seats and potential issues fitting throughout this thread

The challenge is that there isn't one measurement that will ensure you will fit or not - it seems to be a combination of being tall and being big, especially if you are tall in your legs and/or have very big calves as it is the leg restraints that seem to be providing the biggest issues

Did anyone know before May 27th that it was Pandoras grand opening? Or did anyone know before feb?

Hundreds of thousands knew prior to opening day. But prior to feb, no. We had a good hunch it would be around late April or May, but not for sure.

Feb 7th was the announcement of it would open may 27th.
