I checked page one and didn't see the answer. Whet is the entrance to Pandora? By Tiffens?

yes, also another entrance/exit behind the FOTLK theater

Is the Tarzan meet right where the entrance is? It appears to be on Kenny the Pirate. Will this be moved?

probably moved. FYI this past week Tarzan was out with Terk

I am planning to be at WDW over Memorial Day weekend. I have the option of doing Pandora/Animal Kingdom either opening day, Saturday the 27th or Sunday the 28th. Any thoughts as to which of these would be (slightly) less crowded? I have fastpasses for 8:05 a.m. on both.

I don't think the crowds will be THAT different between Saturday and Sunday. I'd want the chance to say forever after "I was there opening day". It's a thing.

Good point!

I would say probably slightly less crowded on Sunday, but definitely crowded both days

 

[SgtTibbs]

Good point!

of course the correct answer is do BOTH days.

 

[Zbugz]

of course the correct answer is do BOTH days.

I also plan to spend Monday there, so I've got that covered.

And I just realized that AK opens at 7 a.m. on the 27th and 29th. How early would one need to line up for rope drop?!?

 

[DVCkidsMOM]

I think some people will be there most of the night, especially on the 27th. I will not be one of them. My strategy includes not going at all on the 27th and when I do go, arriving about 30 minutes before EMH opening. I don't want to battle the hard-core "gotta be first" folks, but I want to be there for EMH. That's my plan - YMMV

I like this. I value sleep, lol.

 

[DVCkidsMOM]

How is Kali after dark?

We like it about the same day or night... We'll ride it at night if the line isn't too long. We don't bother with a FPP for it at night.

This is what we are doing. We are going to go, even if just for a little while, to say we were there on opening day. We did the same when NFL opened.
I actually think we'll use the Express Bus that day, vs what is usually a very bad security line at the front gates. AK gets backed up like no other park, even without Pandora grand opening

 

[SgtTibbs]

Huh, I had not thought of that, but since my plans are to arrive in Pandora in the evenings I'll be using the Express bus anyway, so that's works. Good tip!

 

[AngiTN]

And thanks to Yulilin's mention that a 2nd entrance is back by FOTLK, it will be a very easy walk to and from the Express Bus

FWIW, we are planning rope drop on May 27 and evening only on May 28. At this point I am planning to arrive at AK at 6AM. I do not care to be first in line but I do care about being last! Hopefully we will be closer to the front than the back.

I was hoping you'd chime in, HydroGuy. Thanks!
