It should have a bit higher capacity than Soarin depending on ride time length. It has four theaters whereas Soarin has three.

Navi River Journey will be much closer to Frozen than IASW.

Well, if the Navi River Journey has a similar capacity as Frozen, and a broader audience than the Banshee ride, then I guess I'll FP the River Journey. Hope I make the right choice

Drat - my arrival date is May 26th and we are only there for the weekend so I doubt I'll get any FP+ for Pandora - I'm thinking they'll be long gone by the time I can book fp+.

I was really hoping they wouldn't release them until 45-30 days prior to opening. Oh well. Guess my son and I will be in the long, long lines on May 27th.

This is what I like to see!

Keep watch because it's also been said by April 8th-9th that's when some CM's are scheduled to start their training for the new land so some people think there's no way a passholder preview would be ready by April 8th or 9th. Someone asked that to WDWNT on twitter and they replied with "we don't know it's just the info we've heard".

And someone else tweeted them, I'm assuming a CM, and said she would be angry if they did an AP preview before even doing a CM preview.

So could be, and I'm ready to book a trip whenever they do do an AP preview, but I don't think it'll be as soon as early April

I can see that they take the info that CM start training in early April and confuse it to say that AP previews begin in early April. Probably a bad case of the game of "Gossip" where person 1 whispers to person 2 something who then says it to person 3 and so on and by the time you get to person 10 what person 1 said has changed 100%. I often think WDWNT (and a couple of others) is prone to posting what Person 10 says without going back to check what Person 1 started with.

Thanks! That's what I was thinking would be the case. I didn't even notice it at first until someone else had pointed it out to me.



It was in the wdwinfo article:

"For a limited time, May 27 – July 4, 2017, guests staying at select Walt Disney World Resort hotels can explore Pandora – The World of Avatar beyond regular Park hours."

I am staying at The Cabins at Fort Wilderness and I received an email today stating that "As a Guest of a select
Walt Disney World Resort hotel you may
explore Pandora—The World of Avatar beyond regular Park hours". "Select Walt Disney World Resort" was emphasized two times in the email. Curious.....

I must say I'm feeling pretty good about my AK guru status...posting first about the ROL dining packages last year and then the Pandora FP's this year. I might need to take your job @rteetz ....

Disney wants you to feel doubly special.

I was just checking my FP's for May and a page showed up and said "THE WAIT IS ALMOST OVER" and at the bottom it said my wait would be a minute and not to refresh the screen...I waited a few minutes and did refresh and then it was gone. The attraction page has already updated to the EMH's

Okay, I have question... When they say AP Preview, would it just be one or two specific days? Or more of a soft opening on multiple days? I have a group going down May 6-13 and I'm preparing to throw out all plans for a chance to see this in the preview stage haha

 

[StuckInKS]

Are Pandora FP opening opening at 7am for everyone, even those who can already book those dates?

It's 6:31 am....I checked at 6:00 am and the rides were not listed for FP. Just checked again and they are all gone for the day, May 27. Crazy!

 

[StuckInKS]

Both rides are now listed under "Currently Unavailable"

 

[CarrieR]

Might be worth checking back - possible they didn't load availability yet. Since they're only available in the +10 stage right now, I don't know that they'd truly sell out that quickly (although stranger things have happened!)

Fastpasses aren't til 7, so I don't see how they've would be gone.

 

[Wendy98]

They are live. Just got mine.

 

[StuckInKS]

Me too! 27th Flight of Passage & 28th River Journey! So excited!!

 

[RachaelA]

AP preview in early May would be perfect. We are there then!

Good luck to everyone trying for FPs!
