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.

Can you explain what a Landry card is?

You are doing the EMH tonight, right?

Yep!

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.

well add this to the list of things to keep up with!?@ We're visiting late Aug and Labor Day Wkend. If they change park hrs, will they do this for an entire month at a time? Or is this a moving target. I'm planning Pandora, ROL, FEA, Soarin' on top of food and wine with multiple generations over only a few days and will need to maximize all rope drop, dining pkg and FP+ strategies to assist my parents.

I'm gonna break my record of my photos taken this trip. Pandora is so incredibly photogenic.

Somewhat Pandora related. Can those who have visited Pandora tell me what effects if any they have noticed on my beloved Nomad Lounge since the park opening?

Was there Monday watching the crowd stream into pandora at around 3. Was as quiet as ever.

It will just depend on what their projections are. They factor in room occupancy, ADRs, and now FPs to determine staffing needs and if the park hours need to be adjusted.

It won't hurt to go into your FP area at least a month before arrival and "Modify" a priority FP to see what times are available. You can check availability without losing your FPs.

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

AngiTN, do you think they were quoting a 45 minute wait for ADR's or just walk ups?

thanks. My 60 day window won't open up for a few weeks yet. It just occurred to me that I should probably research the disability requirements for my dad since he's 80 and a recent stroke victim. He'll need assistance for the few attractions he'll be able to enjoy which is a recent development for our family. No way he can climb into the NRJ boat without grab bars.

We will be there Monday, using the morning EMH. We have FP for NRJ at 8:20 a.m. Looking for some opinions on whether we'll be able to do FOP first, then hit our FP within our window. With EMH starting at 7 a.m., that gives me 2 1/4 hours for FOP...can we do it????
(Please say yes, please say yes!) Was going to leave the resort (YC) at 6:00 a.m. via bus. Is this not a good idea?

We do have FP for FOP later in the week, at 9:30 p.m. If we wait until closer to 10:30 to ride, will they have us exit Pandora and wait to get back in for the evening EMH?

 

[SaharanTea]

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

I understand if you don't want to answer, but is Epcot your normal area? I'd love to give you a high five during our visit in July for all your help on this thread (and in others).

I'd leave earlier. I would want to BE there at 6.

I've posted in the past few weeks when MK hours were extended being extended for June - adding an extra hour of fastpasses for 7DMT. It really helps to keep an eye out on the hours and be able to either snag that fp+ you couldn't get the first time or move a fp+ to a more desirable time!!

And the poster who alerted everyone when Disney suddenly released more fp+ for FEA for their May trip - the influx of passes actually went all the way through June without Epcot hours being added, yet another phenomenon. That totally helped me tweak my Epcot night for June. Gotta love the DIS for these reasons.

I can speak for June hours extensions. They were actually extended twice - once about a month out, the MK hours were extended until 10 (yes, the originally released hours were only until 9). Then about the 3rd week in May they extended most MK hours during at least the first 2 weeks until 11. I caught it both times - since I checked endlessly!! And they were changed in the middle of the day.

Was there Monday watching the crowd stream into pandora at around 3. Was as quiet as ever.

Thank you I was concerned the masses would either storm Nomad or ruin the peaceful vibe on those lounges on the porch!!

You are the official "stats" person - go ahead and graph!

I'm global, so I could be anywhere, and I really do mean anywhere, but I'm at Epcot more often than at any other location and our home base is located there as well. PM me when you're at WDW, and thanks for the sentiment.

 

[gatrbait]

Quick question I didn't see asked in the last few pages... how long is the FP line? Do you still wait forever or is it truly a FP?
Thanks a bunch!

It really depends on how it is operating. It can be roughly 10-15 minutes to get on the ride if running properly (that includes pre-shows) or it can be as high as 45 if it is not.

 

[gatrbait]

Perfect thanks wilkeliza!
