This is what we are doing. We are going to go, even if just for a little while, to say we were there on opening day. We did the same when NFL opened.
I actually think we'll use the Express Bus that day, vs what is usually a very bad security line at the front gates. AK gets backed up like no other park, even without Pandora grand opening

Excellent point - thank you for the idea! I'm going on one of the AP preview dates, so I'm going to guess that the AP line won't be much shorter that day. I was planning on starting my day in EPCOT, anyhow, so I think I'm definitely going to use the express bus to hop over to AK.

Edited to add: I know crowds during the preview week won't be anything like opening weekend, but I still think it'll be easier to enter via the Express entrance.

woohoo - well for those sweating' it if fp's are still readily available for the first week, they are. my window opened today and I got the AFOP two different days and also NRJ 1 day6/1, 6/2 and 6/3. There was plenty available to choose from.

Good because my Fast Pass Plus opens up on Friday for our trip May 30-June 8th Hoping there is still availability when I can book for our AK days June 3rd and 6th

Thanks for the update. I have been stressing about these fastpasses! My window opens next Wednesday for June 4-12. Looking at AK on June 7 and 10. Fingers crossed I can get my fastpasses!!!

Don't you think it's weird that so many times were open and you aren't the only one reporting it. Why are these not disappearing as soon as they open?

The average WDW visitor is not that into Avatar?

^Does the average park goer even worry about getting their fast passes as soon as the 60 day window opens? I would think not.

I'm active on Disboards so I don't have much experience with average guests.

Do you think they may be running it FP only towards the end of the day? Like a number of hours to essentially "cut" the Standby line to run the predetermined number of guests through prior to EMH?

I've never even seen it but I am excited about brand new rides, one (the river) that looks to have some cool technology. I don't think the Avatar part matters as much as something new, something that's been talked about for years.

^Does the average park goer even worry about getting their fast passes as soon as the 60 day window opens? I would think not.

I do think enough people know about and worry about FP+ that if something new were to come along, FP+ would book quickly. I think that has been proven. I know plenty who know nothing about Disboards and they know to book their FP+. We don't have a market on that.

I'm going next week and haven't booked mine but I assure you had Pandora been open I would have booked day one ... I booked day two for 7DMT when it opened (and I don't like Snow White).

I'm sure at 30 days the locals will pick the remaining up but I am very surprised that they aren't booking quickly.

Do you think they may be running it FP only towards the end of the day? Like a number of hours to essentially "cut" the Standby line to run the predetermined number of guests through prior to EMH?

Could be, so that would flood those later hours with more FP+. How do you think they will handle the SB line when the park closes at 11 pm .... actually cut off SB say at 9:30 pm? Don't think I'd want to be the CM out front as there will be folks showing up late specifically to get in line late. It would be a break with precedent.

I just expected like the AP previews booked fast, 7DMT, FEA, A&E in the day .... this would book the first couple hours each morning. I truly am quite surprised.

It is two separate attractions so there are twice the number of FPP's to go around. I expect that is at least partially the explanation.

Does anyone think they may add evening EMH to August for AK? I wish they would update the hours and EMH dates so I can make my plans.

I don't think the average Disney guest knows/understands the process. I have talked to countless people at my work that have no clue compared to us that are regularly on the Dis.

And I know many who understand and don't hang around any Disboard kind of places. It certainly didn't stop Soarin' from running out in the day, TT true. These both are bring highly advertised on TV as innovative. Fully expected then to go fast. Nothing said here changes my mind.
