I agree that the park looks normal outside of Pandora. MDE is showing 25-45 minute waits on all of the AK attractions besides Pandora. I'll be interested to see what the lines are like once the sun goes down.

Kali is at 60 but that's not unusual at all for the middle of the day this time of year.

It must have jumped up right after I posted. I actually think that is less than normal. I have seen it a lot longer when it is hot in Florida.

Absolutely!

Alright
Grabbed some lunch. Had the kids hot dog and the cheese cake. Mobile ordering rocks!!!
I am feeling for everyone in line right now. Its super hot. The line for windtraders is still 90 minutes, all of them in the sun.
Sitting in a shady spot by the exit to nrj, people coming out are saying that it was beautiful. Short. And not worth 2 hours

Was it a normal hotdog? What about the texture of the "bun"?

It was a normal hot dog, bun was soft. It tasted real good

By the Pizzafari area, there's someone with a sign for people with a fastpass. I believe you are allowed to enter 5 minutes before your fastpass window opens, at least, that's what I overheard them telling guests.

It wasn't blue colored or anything? I'm not eating any blue food, lol.

Spent an hour sorting art the exit to NRJ
Unscientifically I can say
75% of people did NOT like it. I heard too short, that was it, what the heck was that...
Obviously waiting 2 hours in heat index of 100 has to do with it
25% of people liked it. I heard it's beautiful, just like the movie, so relaxing...lots of praise for the shaman
About 90% of kids exiting were singing the shaman song

Has anyone seen the allergy menus for Satuli canteen? My son has a peanut allergy, so I always like to check in advance if possible.

Gluten Free and Dairy Free WDW has it, and many other Allergy Menus.

 

[yulilin3]

Lol. No. I posted a picture on our fb page

Thanks to everyone posting their live experiences! It gives me a better idea what to plan for on Monday.

 

[freediverdude]

Por favor, mantenganse alejado de las rope drop!

 

[lynn_s]

any official/unofficial update on if ride lines will close early, then reopen for emh? (I think it was posted FoP line will close at 9, then reopen at 11?)

 

[MickeyMinnieMom]

Wait times for both Pandora attractions are dropping according to MDE. FoP is 195 min, NJ is 150. Each is down a full hour from their peaks

I agree that the park looks normal outside of Pandora. MDE is showing 25-45 minute waits on all of the AK attractions besides Pandora. I'll be interested to see what the lines are like once the sun goes down.

I wouldn't have expected it to let up this much already... on opening day... ...

Pandora is open access at the moment, no wait #VisitPandora


ETA: Still way longer than I would wait for the rides, but still!

 

[KKB]

Thanks all--FOP FPs at 5:55 tomorrow; feeling much better from earlier reports at MK today! (KIds were not digging my plan to leave condo by615 AM tomorrow..!!!)

That's all I have heard.

On a similar note, I heard NRJ was down for a brief period early after rope drop but quickly came back online. Any news on FoP? If that thing has been running all day with no issues then I think that the WDI individuals that have been working some serious overtime hours deserve some kudos (apart from those already deserved for creating such an amazing ride).

Add me to the "what the heck? That's it?" Crowd and I walked on and had a boat all alone during AP preview. It's not a ride I'd ever wait for.

WE decided to skip Pandora this morning and went to MK instead. Have to say it was pretty busy. Thought that would be the "safe" bet but it was the busiest I think I've personally seen it (we also went Memorial Day weekend last year and various trips throughout the years before).

About to head to AK now and knock out some FPs. Here's to hoping it doesn't get out of hand. Here's also to hoping I bump in to Joe Rohde.

Thanks for the report (and the others you've given throughout the day)!

I think you hit the nail on the head. Expectations and hype built up during the long wait kind of set a lot of people up for disappointment. I know I would be pretty ticked if I waited that long for that ride.
