I would think they have to. If not, it wouldn't be fair to the following time slots. I'm there 6-8pm and I'd be pretty mad if I got there and people from the 2-4 (or whichever other time it is) time slot were there. I'm thinking they give the passes out for that time frame, go in and see Pandora, then at the end of that two hours they usher that group out

I agree with this.

It is also probably why there is an hour gap between slots. They will use that hour to get people out.

or they could give tickets with ride times and attractions, like Na'vi River Journey from 2pm to 3pm and after that you are free to explore the rest of the land at your own pace.

and "intrinsic value of nature" he says that a lot too, to which I always want to reply: where's the value of nature in Hester and Chester

Stop that! Play nice! Bad boy, bad boy . . . .

 

[yulilin3]

the reason I don't think they will kick yu out si the food. If I get to ride both rides in an hour and a half, then I want to go eat, I don't think they will rush you, or if you go to the lounge, they're not rushing people to get out.

They can refuse to allow anyone to enter a ride line or restaurant at a certain point at the end of your time frame. Once you exit ride or restaurant they could be in position to politely facilitate you leaving, much like they do at a MK Party. They should be able to clear it in one hour and be ready for next group.

A @yulilin3 says, you can finish your meal or drinks. But I still think they will lead you to finish and be gone by the next group or they would have to be organized in a way to prevent you from getting back on rides with the next group.

I don't think they will kick people out after the 2 hours, but I could be wrong

Maybe they'll do it like Club Villain. You get a time slot to ride and then you are free to do what you want the rest of the time?
I still can't imagine they'll let those that had the first time slot just stay as long as they want. it would stand to really skew crowds by end of the night

I'm really curious to see how this all shakes out, and am anxious to hear reports!!

I'm trying to stay away from seeing too much so that we'll be surprised, but I'm anxious to hear peoples' bottom lines... I'm assuming thumbs up, but waiting to hear how enthusiastic that thumbs up is and whether people who DID NOT like the move are as enthusiastic as those who did. I'd suspect yes... fingers crossed...

I'm not sure if going in the 6-8 time slot will get you the full night time effect...the sunsets are after 8 during that time.

On May 19, a special 3 hour D23 tour offered of Pandora with Joe Rohde as your guide and then you get to go back during the 3-5pm window

Wow, that looks like an incredible experience. I'd do it if we weren't already planning a trip for Memorial Day.

Oh, wow, I would PAY for that. He's amazing.

ETA I then saw the later post that you DO have to pay for that. And I would. And would create "Joe Rohde-ism Bingo" sheets for everyone.

Has anyone had any problems booking FP due to the "select Disney resort" stipulation? Are there certain resorts to which the 60 day Avatar FP window doesn't apply?

Yes, but they are not any of the Disney owned resorts.

This clear it up? It's a great synopsis (another was posted in the thread elsewhere)
What does "select" mean? It means all Walt Disney World hotels that are usually part of the 60 Days FP and Extra Magic Hours promotion. If your hotel qualifies for any FP at 60 days and Extra Magic Hours, it qualifies for these special Late Extra Magic Hours and FP too!

I don't know why there would be.

Thanks for clearing that up!

I have another question. We're going for two weeks at the end of June, staying at a Disney resort and have annual passes. Once our 60 day window arrives, can we book FP for the entire two weeks, or just the first 10 days?

Sorry off topic for just a sec here, do people think D23 Gold membership is worth getting? I've not really considered it before, but looking at the Joe Rohde event, I'm really tempted...

APs have been reporting 10 days - not sure if they need to be consecutive. Then, using a day of FPs and booking another day.

You should choose your AK days and book FPs for those days first.

yeah, I agree, you are limited to 10 days, since that's how it's set up. I wish they'd fix that to be length of resort stay, period. Not just to 10 days because that's how many days of tickets they sell in the US

Angi, is it 10 consecutive days or 10 of the onsite days?
