PREPARE FOR YOUR PANDORAN ADVENTURE

We look forward to welcoming you on your adventure to Pandora—The World of Avatar. There is so much to explore in this mystical world of massive floating mountains, exotic plants and creatures and breathtaking new experiences. Take your time in the Valley of Mo’ara where the land is an adventure unto itself. Discover the totems, cuisine and artifacts of the Na’vi culture that surround you along with all the sounds of the forest.

• Please remember your passage into Pandora—The World of Avataris for your confirmed date and time only. Early admission will not be allowed. For your confirmed preview date and time, refer to your registration confirmation email.

• These previews are an early exploration of Pandora and sometimes attractions and experiences may not be available while we complete our finishing touches. In some cases, there may be extended wait times for attractions or experiences.

• Your credentials will be added to your My Disney Experienceaccount. A simple touch of your annual pass card or MagicBandand you're in*!

• To get to the entrance of the land, take a left at the Tree of Life®and a second left toward Tiffins and Nomad Lounge.

• Entry credentials will look similar to a FastPass+ entitlement, however it will only grant entry to the land and does not apply to any specific attractions within the area.

* Credentials are nontransferable and void if sold or otherwise transferred. All Guests must have a valid Walt Disney World annual pass to attend the event and enter the Theme Park.

Yep just got my email!

 

[FastPasser]

has Forbidden Journey closed it's "Castle Tour" queue which was precisely a "separate line for non riders"?

I don't know about the FJ castle tour, but I did the Gringotts non rider Que tour just a few weeks ago.

 

[CAS239]

Apologies for drifting off-topic, but has Forbidden Journey closed its "Castle Tour" queue which was precisely a "separate line for non riders"? I always liked that as a way to linger and examine the queue without backing up someone behind me.

I did FJ back in October and never saw a castle tour line

What?

 

[Farps]

We have a DVC preview on 5/22, no FP or email yet.

 

[HopperFan]

WHAT!!!!

I could see that.
What's the best way to get us in the land? scan our AP or MB.
What is the best way to put on our MDE? a "dummy" FP+.
It would explain the early time and no end time, it's just an entry pass to the land.

Check your Emails people I jus got mine!!

Recieved an email and FP+ for my AP preview time. Nothing yet for the DVC preview...

 

[FastPasser]

I could see that.

I can't check as I'm not eligible, but you're saying that it's in addition to the NRJ FP? So they'll be two FPs so far?

 

[Tinkerbell7479]

Didn't get the email for our DVC preview but checked MDE and I have a fast pass for NRJ for 11a on wed.

 

[yulilin3]

That would be totally different from what they've been doing. If you've used both FPs and have been inside Pandora for 2-1/2 hours, I think most people have had enough, it's not that big.
The advantage of being towards the front of the line is that if everyone has a FP for FoP, it's unlikely, but if they all got in line, potentially 600 or so people could be in line.
They have been allowed in 20 to 30 minutes early, sometimes more.
It's been available for experiencing even while the ride is operating. That's how I did it.

But haven't they been using the fp line only for loading? Or are there 2 lines in the standby

 

[cordage]

My guess is that the NRJ FP+ will serve as admission to Pandora and no other Avatar FP+ will be available in MDE.

 

[FastPasser]

But haven't they been using the fp line only for loading?

Yes

Or are there 2 lines in the standby

Nope, Standby Que is empty except for those touring it.

No - I mean I can understand that. The easiest way to process us in the land is through MDE and our MB/card. So they came up with a "dummy" FP+ to get you in the land. How they handle the actual rides will be different. And this would explain why we all just got the one FP+ instead of for both rides. It's not really for the ride.

Got it.

 

[cordage]

Anyone else schedule a DVC and AP preview on the same day? Recieved the AP preview FP+ but not sure how they'll handle adding the DVC preview one...

This is my thoughts too except for it also says early admission is not allowed but the "dummy fp" states an hour earlier than the actual preview times.

 

[FireflyTrance]

I am going for dvc on sat, 9 to 11, nothing showing for fp. Also have AP on Monday, 12 to 2 and that fp is showing for 11.

Any other dvc people showing the fp?

I am also going to a DVC preview and have nothing showing up in MDE. It makes me think they haven't loaded those yet, or are planning to do DVC some other way. I was worried about it so glad to hear other DVC members are experiencing the same. To be honest I will probably be worrying about it until I *hopefully* get that confirmation e-mail tomorrow. I never got the original DVC preview email to sign up even though I have a reservation during that time.

 

[aviva5675]

I got my email also, going 5/17 12-2. I can't imagine they would completely bill it as a FP+ but it's only use is access to the land. I think (ok Im making it up) MB will be linked to the 2 hour slot, that accesses the land, then there is a FP for NRJ. Guess we have to wait and see about paper or other FP for FOP.
