Well we officially (finally) booked our AP preview trip. This may be the shortest Disney trip we have ever done as out of state AP holders haha. Flying in after work on Friday, DAK Saturday, and flying back home at noon Sunday.
 

We will be there opening day with the crowds. It looks beautiful. Not a fan of the movies, but will be nice to have something new.

I know I'm probably in the minority, but I don't care much for the movie.
Actually, you're anything but the minority. Up until about two months ago, the unending threads were about how it seemed that "no one" liked the movie and everyone was going to skip "Avatarland". This thread has been a spectacular success in avoiding those sorts of arguments, including very little use of "Avatarland" as a pejorative.
With all that said, I am VERY MUCH looking forward to Pandora opening.
And here you're picking up on my point that I've been making since about 2012 - if Pandora is well done, it will succeed on its own, whether or not people like the movie that inspired it. And by all accounts so far, it seems that "well done" may be an understatement.
 
I'm going to look at it as just another and different land. Saw Avatar and liked it but don't think necessary to re-view it or to even have seen it. There will be Africa, Asia, Dinosaur land or whatever it's called, and Pandora. Super excited to go to ap preview 5/17, tho wish we could see it at night...
 
With Avatar being (arguably) the highest grossing movie of all time, somebody must have liked it. See for example, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_films

IMO Disney made a great move connecting AK to Avatar. Much like they made a good move 30 some years ago with Star Tours. Some people may not like Avatar. Some people did not (and do not) like Star Wars. But I suspect it will be successful nevertheless.

I did state that I was probably in the minority.

Also, one thing that those stats don't take into account is inflation. For instance a movie released today may gross 10% more than the previous high that was made 10 years ago, but when adjusted for inflation it is actually less.

But, Avatar did come in 2nd on that list. :)

Sunday, May 21 now shows animal kingdom as a 10 on touring plans, though the wait times for all the rides are reasonable. Other calendars still say ak is ok for that day???We were going to visit AK on that day, and tomorrow I can book my fastpass es. Wondering if I should revisit my plans. Is something special happening at ak that day? Or do you think they just expect lots of visitors (like me) hoping for a sneak peak?

I think due to the previews and such they are expecting increased crowds, plus people hoping to get in. There is nothing special happening that day. Major media event things don't start until the 23rd.
