I think it is because the average guest just doesn't care. FEA and 7DMT are because they are being taken by the uber planners here on the boards. I think most people still think DAK I don't have to make FP+ for DAK. I mean I almost never did and always was able to get the Safari, Dinosaur, and EE. DAK is also one of the lowest on the totem pole for people so until the mindset of the general pop changes DAK will still be easy to get FP+ for even with 2 new rides.

I think this is likely true.
Either that or there are alot of people who are staying offsite and can't book their FP+ yet.

I really don't care why there is availability. I just hope that this is still the case when we are ready to book FP+ for our Sept vacation.

 

[CAS239]

A LOT of people aren't in their booking window. There are a ton of AP's, like me, who will be going for May 27th/28th FP's

I get to book tomorrow for our trip May 30-June 6. I'm hoping to get one of the rides the evening of the 30th and the other on the 31st. I'll report back once I get to see what's available.

Our window opened this morning reeeeeally early (we're in Seattle). I was able to make FP+'s for Avatar Land for all seven days of our stay. Aside from the first day (May 29), there were passes available for "Flights of Passage" throughout the day. I'm happy to see the decision to keep AK open until 1:00 a.m. seems to already be helping.

 

[BellaBaby]

Good to hear! I'll be booking tomorrow morning. We'll be at the Contemporary same time as you Nezumi Fan!

I just finished getting FP for June 30-31. There was still availability for NRJ thoughout the day/evening and only afternoon/evening for FOP on the 30th. I have a 6:15 NRJ FP on the 30th. On the 31st there is availablilty for both rides at all times of the day. We have FOP at 10:10. I'm getting excited and my daughter will be excited when I wake her for school and tell her we get to ride both new rides!

It still looks like those waiting to make FP in the next few days will still have a chance to ride!

 

[BellaBaby]

Yep, just got mine for family of 5. NRJ on 6/2 and FOP on 6/3!! Very excited!!

Ummm... this seems like something that might not last... "Reportedly, there isn’t much in the way of signage for the attractions in the land, as it would impede on the natural environment around the two rides (in story). Na’vi totem poles will be used to convey to guests what the attraction is they are entering the queue for. Whether or not this means there will be wait time signs or not remains to be seen."

Full immersion! The poor CMs will tire of answering the same questions and giving the same directions.

It's all part of the immersion. Universal did it with diagon alley. Expect this with Star Wars land too.

Truthfully, I like it. Sounds really fun to me. I don't think the land is so huge you can't find things

What she said.

Heck, I'll probably purchase something in the store just to get the Alpha Centauri Expeditions bag. Darn you Disney and your marketing genius.

I know, right? There is no way I can not buy something. Probably several somethings. They had me at interactive and different between day and night.

 

[AngiTN]

Speaking of the land, I'm guessing there are no maps leaked out? I know where it is but talking about maps of the actual land? Still a tightly held secret?

Me too, I'm such a sucker for that stuff.

Angi ~ Na'vi didn't use maps.

I think the land will be beautiful and fun - the full immersion will be great!
