In an ongoing effort to keep myself from stressing about this (and it IS an effort, I'm sorry to say), I keep reminding myself that even if we can't get FPs for either ride on June 5th (it's early in our trip so I know I'm taking a chance), we can standby at RD that day with fingers crossed the crowds aren't completely hideous at 7:00am. AND we'll be back in Nov/Dec when I HAVE to believe it will have died down at least a little and the FPs will be hopefully easier to come by.

BTW, I have NOT received any email nor any snail mail regarding Pandora. I am not feeling the Disney Love.

We arrive June 2 and I got the "Pandora is coming" flyer in the mail on Saturday.

@ArielSRL Are you in your booking window already? Exciting! Mine is next Monday

I PM'd both of you! And sent a reply to your reply!

Anyone else unable to access FPs for ANYthing past 30 days from today? I have an onsite stay booked w/ check in 5/26, so I'm within my 60-day window, but FP won't move the calendar past April.

No, we had no problems accessing our FP. You have tickets showing, right?

I always use the MDE app and I have to physically "slide" the calendar to the next month when in the FP booking calendar.

I'm not sure how it is on the website.

My fast pass window opened today and I was able to book

Forgive me if this has been asked, I did do a search. For the extra evening hours posted on June 9 it lists 11pm-1am onsite guests only...how do I find out what rides are open? I read on a site it would only be the two Pandora ones. Could this be correct?

Only Pandora will be open as far as we've heard.

My FP window booking started today and I was thrilled to be able to get a FP+ for 2 for Flight of the Banshee.

My son is going to be happy we'll only have to stand in a hours and hours and hours long line for one ride on May 27th instead of both.
Such a relief!

 

[twebber55]

will they be letting us/assigning us FP for AP preview slots? Or we have to stand in line for both?

Great question im assuming no fp but with limited number of people maybe 2000-3000 in the land we wont need them

 

[china mom]

We live 16 hours (or 2 1/2 hours by air $$) away, and as soon as DH found out about the AP previews, he got online, registered us for the 19th, and THEN started looking for place to stay, etc. Out of DVC points again, so we'll be at Pop (where we enjoyed staying March 2016 when we made a special trip for a DVC event at MK) for 5 nights!

Flying in from Maryland just for our preview on May 21. Booked a night at Pop in case we can't get a fight home on the same day.

 

[IrishNYC]

Anyone else doing the hit the Pandora rides early in the day and than head back in at night just to walk around and experience the place?

Our plan (in September) is to hit Pandora for EMH, hopefully get on both rides, then do the rest of the park, and go back again at night to do one ride FP, and experience Pandora after dark.

 

[PrincessV]

Yep, AP.

Same on website, but it wouldn't let me advance to May.

IDK what its problem was, but logging out, closing the window, reopening and logging back in did the trick - all set to experience Pandora!

Anyone know if Flight of Passage will be along the lines of Soarin'? One of my kids loved Soarin' and Star Tours, but the other refused to do Soarin'. Thoughts?

My guess is it will be more intense since the height requirement is 44". I'm still not sure about taking my tall 4 year old even though she likes Soarin' and Star Tours.

I'm sure you'll start seeing some reports here after the AP and DVC events happen and people have gone on it.

I'm guessing (secretly hoping) that it's the kind of thing where you can close your eyes if it gets too intense. I'd be ok with the motion of the seat, but may have troubles with the on-screen action. I love soarin but not sure how much more intense i could handle.

True! I may just trying to get my fast passes in order and since we get there the week after it opens I want to set up any FP's at that 60 day out period.

Book all for the Flight of Passage and then Modify if you need to.

If you do Modify, you may be able to get a Rider Swap pass so that whichever adult who is with the non-FoP child can ride later.

Great idea. I'm wondering if we should take advantage of the 11 pm - 1 am EMH for Pandora and use the FP's for Kilimanjaro, EE and Kali........

 

[dina444444]

Can anyone tell me what fastpass times look like for the river ride for May 28? My booking window opens tomorrow. Thanks!

 

[hiroMYhero]

@Dixiemom - book for Pandora FoP, Safari, and Kali. Then Modify later after reviews of EMH come out.
