Anyone able to chime in on how the FPs are looking for May 27-28 so far?

I'm glad everyone is getting their confirmation emails but in the case of not bogging down this thread let's get back to Pandora info and questions.

Thanks!

I don't know, am sure no one does. I think they looked at capacity on both rides because you'd have to be able to ride both, plus they would build in time for wander/eating since they will have Canteen open (and gladly take your money).

I wonder if they will essentially put 2-hour FPs on our MBs for both the rides. That will ensure that everyone rides each once and others don't just hang around once they're inside riding again and again.

It is NOT select resorts. I don't care what WDWNET, or whoever it was, put on their article.

FWIW, the wording came directly from Disney's blog. I still wouldn't read too much into it.

And beginning May 27 (through July 4), guests staying in select Walt Disney World Resort hotels will have the opportunity to experience Pandora — The World of Avatar with special nighttime Extra Magic Hours. Guests of select Walt Disney World Resort hotels with a valid theme park admission can fly on the back of a banshee, navigate a mystical river and walk under floating mountains beyond regular park hours – from 11 p.m. until 1 a.m. This benefit is in addition to the Extra Magic Hours already available to you at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

We will be sharing more updates as we put the final touches on Pandora — The World of Avatar. Keep checking the Disney Parks Blog for the latest.

Yep, Disney puts select on a lot of their information.

Well, it says select for FP too. And everyone is booking those, at all resorts. Whatever they mean it does not mean that any of the Disney owned resorts are excluded from FP or EMH.

 

[Spaceguy55]

there still are plenty all day long up till 7:30 or so with some showing up at 9:30

Anyone able to chime in on how the FPs are looking for May 27-28 so far?

FOP seems to be more popular with less times available

Is the new Avatar River ride indoors? I'm wondering whether I should get FP+ for during the day or nighttime? If its indoors, it wont matter, but if its an outdoor thing I'd rather go when its dark! ??

Indoors so it won't matter

Both rides are indoors. The Navi River Journey will stay "nighttime" all day long.

They put select because it clarifies people who think they are staying at a Disney resort and are on property but aren't. The select usually are all on property but may not include 4 Seasons, Swan and Dolphin, Bonnet Creek, Disney Springs hotels, etc. In the past some of those hotels were treated like they were on property so they don't want people to assume they are included until they are told they are directly.

Anyone know how many people will be let in during the 2 hour period?

Will they be ushering people out after the 2 hours is up?

 

[chunkymonkey]

I am @chunkymonkey what time are you on the 20th? We're 12-2. And a big to Renee @ArielSRL for tipping me off this morning to the ap previews!!

We're 6-8pm! But we will probably get to AK before that. Oooh does this mean a Dismeet?!?

And yes thank you Renee!! This was great news and I told some other friends who are APs and they are going too!

No one knows the number of people.

Yes when the 2 hours is up I'm sure everything will close down and everyone will be forced to leave. They can't allow people to just hang around

Glad to be of service!

Okay, non AP-holder here with a question about what looks like FP restrictions on these attractions? I came here to see if anyone else had posted but I'm not seeing anything (sorry if I've missed it).

We happen to be going to WDW 6/1-6/9, so obviously this is in our plans already. But an email I just received from Disney says "During regular Theme Park hours, Disney FastPass+* service will be available at the two attractions within Pandora—The World of Avatar. You may select only one of these two attractions in your first set of Disney FastPass+ selections, subject to availability."

So my question is, if we have two separate days planned at AK (which we do), will I be allowed to FP both rides, just on different days? I would assume so, but I was surprised to see this restriction so I guess I'm wondering what other, more experienced WDWers might think?
