A look at some of the bioluminescence of Pandora from the DIS twitter:

Our first look at some of the bioluminescence. Nothing is 100% complete. #VisitPandora

Even if not fully complete it looks amazing! Seems to be this will be a great place to just wander about at night.

Everything looks incredible! I'm not really a fan of Avatar, but I'm still super excited to check all of this out now thanks to these sneak peeks.

Spoiler: Pandora Videos

I thought that was only during certain times. Still hoping.

From all the videos everything looks incredible so far

I believe DVC and AP go until park close most days. I know my slot is 3-5 and don't think it is the last of the day. I think there was a 6-8 because they were taking an hour between groups.

There is an AP slot 6-8. That's my time slot on the 22nd. Is it the 22nd yet?

Here's a twitter report that I don't think was meant to sound so negative at the end.

The river ride still looks boring to me, however the Flight of Passage looks absolutely amazing! The queue and preshow made me giddy, so I can only imagine how awesome that ride will be. I'm also happy that they went with the individual ride vehicles.

It appears the DIS's own Craig Williams got to have a little interactions with Jon Landau and the Bioluminescent plants of Pandora.

I'd be surprised if they're concerned about Pandora and am certain they could do nothing in response and be in no "trouble" whatsoever. Now the Star Wars area...that is likely to be a completely different story.

I agree. Anyway they have Volcano Bay coming this summer so I doubt they are shaking in their boots. That and a new hotel in 2018 that is supposed to be even cheaper than Cabana Bay which is already a bargain. Now Star Wars may make them come up with something new, but something tells me Universal already has something on their books that they haven't announced yet.

Awesome! Any tweets of them talking or anything??

I want to shout out to the folks that used the Spoiler tags for the videos, etc. Those of us trying to catch tidbits but no details and most importantly, no videos, appreciate it. I am doing my best to scan the thread but not learn TOO much. I gather there was really no further discussion on a size issue for FoP? Did anyone report yesterday that they were unable to ride due to size? I know there is a test vehicle, etc but mostly curious more than anything.

Does anyone know if FOP has wind blowing in your face like soarin??? I heard it's like star tours and soarin...can't do star tour but can do soarin....

Not sure if anyone has seen or posted this. From John (Fat Panda)
"also hear I need to lose weight fast to get on the banshee. I'm never eating ever again"
It looks like he didn't go to the preview but everyone knows everyone in the blog/fansite community so I'm sure they talked about it

I am also trying not to look at any additional info until the preview on Thursday so I haven't been keeping up with this thread

Yes I read one of the reviews and they said there is wind blowing at times. Also said he was prone to motion sickness and he didnt have a problem with it.

I know a lot of people have been asking which ride to FP. I did tweet that question to the DIS but haven't heard back yet.

I did see this one exchange with Corey on twitter .... not sure if it was just in jest though

Question: Does this (Pandora) make Animal Kingdom a full day park now?

Corey: It does when you factor in how long you will be in line for Flight of Passage​

 

[Harry Wallace]

Do you think that I should get an FP during regular hours for FoP or use standby during Extra EMH at like 12:30a??

Thats why Disney made the que so detailed. They know how long you will be waiting in line
