Awe...hope this changes by July as we are staying off site this year.

I hadn't but saw that shortly after posting. We were finished by 10:15, so 2 hours and a little bit from when we got in line on the bridge from Africa


Worth every bit of hype, wait and adds to the park. We've been here every day since it opened and love it. DGD declared it makes AK her favorite park. I don't do lines for rides ever. But just did 2 hours for flights of Passage and would again and again with out hesitation

If we go straight there at rope drop, is the entrance near Pizzafari? You mentioned Africa bridge and I know that is somewhat further down the other direction. I just want to make sure that we run to the right place. lol

There haven't been that many EMH mornings. From what I've read, if you beat the arrival of the Disney busses first thing in the morning when you line up, you'll have a better jump on the crowd at the gate.

Also, ALL guests were being let in thru the touchpoints earlier than 7. The non-EMH group were then lined up separate from the EMH group.

Plus, you are not walked by the CM's to the entrance to Pandora, so you're liable to fall back in line once they "drop the rope" if you can't keep up with that pace getting over to Pandora.

Yaz did a great job of explaining the EMH morning from Monday but it's now lost many pages back. Here's a brief recap:

Thanks so much for finding that! Unfortunately, my DH has a bad knee so we won't be able to hurry super fast. We'll just see how it goes.

We are going in July and have our FOP FP already, as we are staying on site. We are 45 days away from our trip, and there are still a couple FOP FP times left (for a party of 2), but not many. Loads left for NRJ. I'd second being on at 7 a.m. at exactly 30 days!

I just checked I'm 30 days away and no FOP FP. IM ok as I am on site and got them at 60 day out.

Yes. Head to pizzafari entrance.

They will send the line toward that bridge if needed. It is the same bridge you exit to Africa on but they won't have it open on the morning most likely. I'd watch here to see if that changes

At this time the park opens at 8am (or earlier) and at 7am for EMH. It would be wise to check the park hours schedule for the dates you will be there.

the park hours for when we're there (august) still say 9 am opening...(with the twice a week 8 am EMH)..

but disney often changes its hours in the summer...
what they have for august today, isn't likely to be what will actually be - just as MK will no doubt be open later than the very early hours that are currently listed..

so if AK is opening at 8 am, when is the first fastpass for FoP? at 8? at 9?

All true! So far, I believe they've specifically announced these hours being in effect through the 4th of July...

FP window has always started with the start of regular (NON-EMH) hours, in my experience...

Darn if we didn't just miss you. We were just there to get an Avatar doll made for DGD. We'll pick it up when we had back in tonight

We are at Yak and Yeti now. Gotta say we walked in and got seated right away with others being quoted 45 min. We got some looks from those waiting too. Thank you Landry Club

interesting. If the park has stated 9am opening now for Aug when do the 8am FP's get put into the system if they move the opening time to 8?

 

[disneyholic family]

First FP will be at 8

it's all beyond my comprehension level..
our 60 day mark is this sunday..
and the hours right now are 9 am..
so i'll try for a FP at 9 or maybe 9:15 (so that we can walk into NRJ first)..

if they later change the hours to 8 it won't affect me as i'll already have the 9 am fp...
and we're not going to get up early enough for the 8 am opening anyway...

i may lose my mind before sunday...
we're there for 3 weeks...too many fastpasses to comtemplate...

New FP slots will appear after the park hours are adjusted in the system.

Usually, a DISer will notice and post an Alert on the board. This happened recently when more FEA FPs became available.

Not to completely throw this off topic, but I just bought the Landry Club card for our trip in July. Right now, I have a reservation for Yak and Yeti but do I even need a reservation if I have the landry card?

Nope you don't. Just walk in and tell them you are a Landry member. You go to front of line, behind only other Landry members.

All I did was walk around and fell in love. My favorite park only got better.

 

[AngiTN]

I'm at Tiffins now.

You are doing the EMH tonight, right?

 

[FastPasser.]

In Pandora now.

Have fun. Guess I won't run into you today, it's Epcot for me tonight.
