Pulling this out from the first post - regarding those extra magic hours (11pm-1am). Is it really just for resort guests, or will guests already in the park still be there?

Guests who are not staying at the resort might still be there but they likely will not get on any rides. Disney checks that you are a resort guest at the rides.

If it works like regular evening emh (and I'm asumming it will) non resort guests can stay, shop, eat, but not ride

Everyone seems to forget how you sit on the Carousel though.

I didn't forget -- I never ride that!

Cool. Thank you both.

We have FP+ already for our trip in June (for Na'vi River Journey) and planning on hitting the single rider line on Flight of Passage first thing. But, maybe we'll stick around later that evening for the late night stuff. Does is seem less busy on rides with this happens?

ACE branding is now on the previously blank Magicband readers.

My first thought: Ace Hardware.

Anyone have thoughts on the restraints for individuals at the other end of the spectrum of size? Particularly, I'm thinking of my DD, who while more than tall enough is medically underweight and very very slim (and with very small legs). I'm concerned that the restraints may not get tight enough on her. Does anyone know if children have been riding yet, or has it just been adults?

Evening EMH are nice if their late. You'll find way more walk on rides at Mk for evening EMH at 1am than you would for 11pm.

However Pandora, we don't know. Being that will be the only thing open at the park, it might still be slammed. But I would say closer to 1am you'll have slightly lower waits than at 11pm. I don't think either ride will be walk ons by any means..but for those staying on site I'm hoping you guys see them drop down to say 30 min a piece

I am extremely disappointed to hear that there is no wheelchair boat on the Na'vi River Journey...do we know why yet? To me it seems like that would not be a challenging adaptation to make the ride accessible to all?

May I request a map of the 'new; pandora

Why the need to be so snarky in your post. It is a darn shame that when people ask about legitimate concerns others who don't experience them act so hurt by the topic. Seriously if it doesn't affect you just scroll past the conversation.

Lol what? People are so offended by everything they can't understand sarcasm. I think you need to take your own advice and scroll past this comment

Sorry but in a text medium sarcasm isn't clear. It would be best when dealing with a subject like people's bodies you make it clear with more then emojis. Read like you were laughing at all the people who have chimed in with concerns.

Some are saying load speed and size of boat. There is no drop so it isn't the usual reason.

How does pandora compare in size (acreage) to say the fantasyland expansion.

Pretty much the same. New Fantasyland is 11 acres and Pandora is 12.

I don't think we will every know the official reasoning from Disney but the boats are quite small, it would've been hard to make them wheelchair accessible and also have people in there.

 

[Bay Max]

This bothers me more than a theme park having ride restrictions.

Yes, me too. Maybe we can tackle that one in a different thread.

I imagine a few kids but no clue how many. I would say too little would be okay as long as they meet the height requirement and hold on to the handlebars as instructed.

Are we sure there isn't like a wheelchair boat we just haven't seen yet?

That's what I was hoping: thanks!
