I mean, they would have to let those in with FP, right?

Me: I have a fast pass for FoP starting at 2:15

Disney: Sorry sir, but Pandora is at capacity we can't let you in

Me: But what is the value of this FP if I can't use it

Disney: Sir, I think we know how fast pass works

Me: I don't think you do. You see, you know how to *give out* a fast pass, you just don't know how to *honor* the fast pass. And that's really the most important part of the reservation: the honoring. Anybody can just give them out.

I'm thinking this may be me on July 8. We have FPs for 6pm after spending the first part of the day in DHS. I'm hoping capacity issues won't foil our plans.

I think AK at night is going to be the place to be, between the bioluminescence and Tree of Life with the drones if they keep them. I can't wait to see it. We're giving up the chance to do a second MNSSHP so that we can spend an evening in AK. We've never done any WDW park at night because DD was too young to stay up that late on our past trip. I'm more excited about AK than seeing HEA.

Excuse me if this has been asked (long thread here to comb thru), but can a fat boy ride FOP? I'm 6'2", weigh 240, have a 42" waist. I read something elsewhere about the seats being a tight fit and an unusually high percentage of people not being able to ride. I was able to ride Gringotts over at Universal when I was about 40 pounds heavier. Will I have to do the walk of shame or will I fit?

I was told the drones were only for the press event. But I agree that AK at night will be so much fun and absolutely beautiful

No guarantees of course but I would think you would fit. Just make sure you slide as far forward as possible and push your feet as far forward as they will go. You should feel the ride vehicle itself stop your toes.

right. that what made it so ironic how everyone couldn't help but sprint when they were let in. crazy.

Who was being let in to Pandora this morning? I know today is still part of the media preview, but those folks in your photos looked like ordinary guests.

(I said a long time ago that if there were going to be a general soft opening, today was my best guess. But I didn't think it was all that likely.)

 

[disney1474]

Hey rteetz!! Do you know if they will keep the drones over the tree of life at night?? It looks awesome from the video. I hope they keep them on a daily basis.

 

[MickeyMinnieMom]

So I def like the idea of them doing this....but I'm not so keen on Disney's donating being reliant on people doing things on their mobile devices.

This is not uncommon today...

Those pics were taken Monday - the official last day of previews before the media events. We were all regular park guests. I haven't heard of any soft openings since then.

Did I say it was uncommon??

You must have missed or ignored where I said I have the same opinion for all companies that do that so yes I'm well aware others do it.

Just because something is the norm or is commonplace doesn't mean someone isn't allowed to not like it.

OK!! I just meant that MANY reputable organizations collect funds this way, so not sure what there is to be worried about.

Inside the Mickey Monitor is the same Pandora field guide they were giving out on ap preview days. Just received mine today

I'm honestly not certain why you quoted me explaining to me that it is not uncommon with a confused emoji. Knowing it's commonplace (which apologies but I don't think my initial comment made it sound like I was naive to the ways companies do things) doesn't negate my opinion on it so I'm just not certain what you were going for. I already explained a way I would have preferred in a later comment responding to a poster who gave more background information into possible reasons why they would do it this way.

I'm not trying to sound rude here I just am not certain what you were going for.

Media as far as I know. It was members of the radio groups I believe.

Nope that was only for the media presentations.

I'm clearly in the wrong business. Those media people get all the good stuff.

Is there a single rider line for FOP? I have FP+ for the boat ride and being that it is my adult daughter and me, I am less concerned about us being seated next to or near each other...Thanks!

Not complicated, really. I just really don't understand the concern, and had replied to you before reading every other post. Honestly not sure why you found that offensive, but no harm meant.

I believe there is but it seemed pretty pointless to me based on the way the set up is unless they won't split even groups between two rooms unless they are over 8 party members.
