Any thoughts on skipping FPs at Epcot on a different day and going at RD to do Soarin' and TT and then going to AK in the afternoon using FP for Na'vi? I have only done one of these rides at RD not both. I have always had a FP for one and then done the other at RD.

Epcot would work because Soarin' has a higher capacity and TT has Single Rider. The Standby waits combined may still be shorter than one for a Pandora ride.

like hiromyhero said it's only Pandora for the evening EMH and the Tree of Life awakenings

But till 11:00 it's all rides, right? PP was asking about up till 11:00
I guess the big question is will they add any shows. I'd guess no for FoW since it's outdoors but maybe the others. Nemo will have to end in time to clear out the area for RoL

That is what I was thinking. Would you say Soarin' first and then TT? I don't think we would do single rider because we have young kids that would want to be with us.

And FOLK has a lot of equity actors so the first show may be adjusted so the last show is later in the evening.

They'll have all the rides running and the Dance Parties will be late or later because the crowds need to be dispersed away from Pandora.

It's kind of a toss-up. I would choose TT just because you'll be one of the first loading and the wait won't be long.

Then Soarin' with its higher capacity shouldn't be too long of a wait. The FEA people still have to walk all the way back to Future World so you'd probably be in line before them.

I'm so excited!!! It'll feel like a big AK party!

oh sorry, I thought it was EMH. Yeah I don't think they will add shows

If you like to party do not miss Carnivale at Discovery Island, it is so much fun

 

[WEDWDW]

Do we think most rides at AK will be open till 11pm those first 5 weeks?
Will they have later shows of Flights of Wonder, Nemo and FotLK?

I "think" the schedule will be "similar" to last year's when DAK was open until 11:00 PM.

[CAS239]

will they be letting us/assigning us FP for AP preview slots? Or we have to stand in line for both?

No one knows.

Likely be standby for both.

What I think they should do is hand out everyone 1 paper fast pass for each ride. Everyone can ride each ride once and check out the land

 

[wilkeliza]

So they must really want to focus on the guests. I'm hearing that CMs are blacked out of DAK until end of summer. Same thing happened with NFL and then it transitioned to blacked out on weekends for about a year and then it evened out.

 

[AZMermaid]

They did add in some later shows for FotLK. The last show is 8pm though. I specifically noticed bc they dropped the 10am one that I had planned to see.

Currently Nemo's last show is 5pm. I think they did a 6 or 7 last year, but I can't be certain. 4:30 as of now for FoW.

ETA: I see you found the info before I posted.

I saw this too. I was also planning on seeing the 10AM. Not sure what to do now- drop my morning EE fastpass to secure a later show. Maybe the 6:00 one? Hope standby pans out... but I fear the crowds. Hope for a 4th FP for it... but I was also hoping for a safari evening FP as #4- but that seems like a long shot? Ugh!

The current schedule only shows through June and the main entrance pass is blocked starting May 20. Employee self admit is blocked May 27-29 and June 2-5.

I am seeing on Facebook that Disney is sending out Flyers/Pamphlets with Pandora info to guests with upcoming trips. They really are pushing this unlike anything I have ever seen before.

Makes sense to me... ...

 

[Yassdvclb]

I received one today that had 11:00-1:00am nightly May 27-July 4 for guests at select resorts. It was called "Nightly Extra Magic Hours." Says only at Pandora.

I switched some stuff around (I had messed up and forgot that Character Outpost closed at 7:30 so I had to move that up to the morning) and am doing FotLK at 11am. And I switched lunch and Nemo so I am not doing back to back shows, so Nemo at 1pm now. Hopefully they don't take any more show times away before June.

Looking forward to checking out Pandora in June! Should be interesting. Not a big Avatar fan but it will get me excited for the new Star Wars Land!! Woo-hoo!

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE

I have a question , you can maybe help me please

I 'm an AP and I booked a 2 days package for 05/30 - 05/31 for animal kingdom
I bought 4 days passes for my kids, a room for my family, a dinner package and I have my AP ticket
I'm I believe today 63 days ahead of my stay.
I was able to book my fastpasses already at 65 days, but pandora did not pop up
any ideas why I was able to book being before the 60 days?
Do you think pandora will pop up at 60 days?

I'm really confused
living close by Orlando, I'm not used anymore to book packages, we go more often on day trips ( one of the peak of relocation from Belgium to Florida lol)
thanks
isbelle

I noticed that too. Even when I was in PA this weekend.
