I absolutely cannot wait for this!! I am NOT a fan of the movie at all, but the movie allows for so much detail and that is what Disney does best!!!

Here's the back entrance to Pandora from
near Lion King. That building to the right is the bathrooms past Lion King

Is it the bridge or the path that winds under the bridge?

During previews there are 3 locations. One by the Baja Tickler, one with the mountain backdrop with magic shot, and one near windtraders/pongu pongu/moss wall

I believe the preview entries are non-transferable.

I do not believe they can be swapped. We'll have to see if there's more info on the emails they send out. But when you confirmed your slot it basically said to make sure everything was right because it wouldn't be edited. The wording leads me to believe people can't be swapped out and people can't cancel or give their passes away.

However I highly doubt they're going to be checking ID's of every person and it'll likely be just scanning magic bands. Idk how they've been doing it for CM's. But if that's the case then your friend could use the magic band of the person not going. But we'll have to see what the email says.

yeah i thought so too but there is also this in the confirmation email.

• If an Annual Passholder would like to register a Guest to accompany them, that Guest must also have a valid annual pass for admission to the event's theme park location on the date of the event, be listed on your Family & Friends list and have opted to share "All My Plans" with you

i guess once they send out the full email ill just call and ask, i guess it cant hurt to ask. knowing disney i'm sure they will likely allow it if you ask they tend to give some leeway with that kind of stuff but you never know

its my sister and brother inlaw who now cant go, so i do have access to bands of theirs. its kinda frustrating when you have to make plans way ahead of time and you cant predict whats going to come up

Idk how they've been doing it for CM's.

The latest procedure used today was to present the confirmation email, show a CM photo ID and scan the ticket media.

it'll likely be just scanning magic bands.

MBs will be scanned, but they may be doing more than just that.

But if that's the case then your friend could use the magic band of the person not going.

If they do the above, it won't be possible.

Just wondering do you think showing the app woth our AP credentials would be enough? Fiance lost his AP card and we have been allowed to do that for discounts with ID.

 

[MasterElwood]

Hi. I am going today to AK. Is there ANY chance for a public softopening today?

Other than knowing that MBs will be scanned, I can only confirm what has been done so far. What will be done is just a guess based off that. We'll know by Sat

ETA, they have been accepting confirmation emails on smartphones, so you might be ok.

Nope

Normally FoP hasn't been available at all for the 3 to 5 preview, but after the hundreds of attendees waiting in line to enter were told that it wouldn't be today as well, they were given surprise return time passes upon entering. It was a happy crowd.

Does this mean that the 3-5 folks are now going to be in the 6-8 time slots with those folks if the ride is down?

No, it'll just revert back to the 3 to 5 people not being able to ride FoP during their preview time. Hopefully this was not a fluke and will be the case from now on.

Oh man would be super upset if it is 3-5 for AP as that is our slot.

Understandable, but I'm assuming, as I haven't seen what was sent out to AP/DVC guests, that Disney isn't promising being able to ride any specific attractions. Is that correct?

I mean they don't promise on any given day so of course it is possible it is unavailable just really sucks to chose the same time group every day when the information was give ahead of time when we selected slots yah know.
