They never answered my question

You can yell at them about this at the party

Rteetz, as always thanks for the updates. You do one hell of good job!
Your work is greatly appreciated.

ITM just posted an amazing video of the que for FOP

With Disney putting so much detail into this que I think they knew from the beginning how popular this ride was going to be and how long the wait might be for some.

At least there is so much to see while we wait to get on the ride.

*will not watch, will not watch, will not watch*


Related question though - do we know how much of the queue process the FP and/or single rider go through vs standby?

not sure if I am the only one *this* interested in the beer in Pandora, but apparently they are brewed by Tarrapin Brewing in Atlanta Georgia - I am a big fan of theirs so pretty happy with this news:

Athens, not Atlanta.

Athens, not Atlanta.

Duh, total brain fart - and I've been to the brewery! (Great place btw - weird rules in GA thought go that you can't buy samples and instead they sell you a glass that comes with tickets good for samples)

I was about to say the same thing as I live in Athens lol. I wonder if they'll have this at the brewery or if it will be a Disney exclusive. I'll be sure to make my way out there and ask about it no doubt!

Also, GA has slightly changed the "tour" model. There still is no direct sales but it's getting better.

 

[BuckeyeBama]

Great updates - thanks to everyone!

Only the booze is appealing to me... ...

I think it all looks good. Awesome to see different stuff in the parks.

 

[rteetz]

Got my answer! Flight of Passage is 5ish minutes. There is a lot to look at so there it doesn't feel short and has repeatability.

 

[Juliet0778]

That's why I was wondering. It's cute and I like it but not sure I want to spend that much on it. Hoping I will get to see it in action a bit more before we go May 22.

Agreed!! Except we're going in June.

I'm in Atlanta. I actually like the current weird model -- pay $12-15 or whatever for a "tour" and you usually get a glass you can keep and 6 drink tickets. I prefer that to say, individually buying drinks. They already changed the laws so you can buy beer to take home, you just can't buy beer to drink there. And I believe that a new law might go into effect as early as September that would completely do away with the "tour." But then how would going to a brewery be any different from just going to a bar then? The whole thing with the drink tickets or tokens is part of the experience.

Anyway, Pandora looks great! And so does the green terrapin beer there. I may have to take a trip in 2018 after all...

Last year we drove down to WDW from new you, makeing a few stops each way, and Athens was one of the stops. We loved Terrapin - loved the outside area especially.

They did limit how much I could buy to take home (said 2 6-packs per person) so I had to buy stuff, bring it out and then go back in to buy more

It worked fine - just seemed a bit odd to someone from out of state

Our local brewery used to have free tasting but moved to a bigger location and now you have to buy tokens so, like you said, not really that different - plus we got some neat glasses from our trip to Terrapin

I'm all for different!! We are a family of very adventurous eaters. These items just don't appeal, that's all. Subjective! We'll stick with our TH and Tiffins ADRs for our upcoming AK visits.

 

[BigRed98]

First of I just want to say great job to rteetz and everyone who has been posting pictures and answering everyone questions. From what everyone is saying about Pandora I am more than excited and I can't wait to go. As long as Disney is able to maintain the land, this will be a homerun for Disney!!!

If you like a bit different I recommend the Skipper's canteen if you haven't tried there yet

I see that there are glasses to wear on FoP. I'm wondering if they fit ok over top of regular glasses? I won't be able to see a thing if I can't keep my other glasses on too.

I haven't seen a pair of 3D glasses yet that didn't fit over the top of regular glasses (I wear them too)
