do you think any of the items at Windtraders (like those adorable Banshees) will be sold at the other Disney shops, like at Disney Springs??

No I doubt it. They have a few Pandora items at the island mercantile but part of the experience is adopTing your banshee in Pandora.

So the trash can in line at NRJ is overflowing with trash all over the ground. The Navi would be so proud.

Raining here now but lines are still long.

FoP snapshot from today...
8:42 -- 295 min
11:09 -- 195
12:32 -- 145
1:47 -- 125
5:31 -- 105
6:37 -- 120

NRJ was at 120min at 6:37 as well.

Curious how well these MDE numbers match up with actual waits.

I've only seen a couple of Pandora items at the gift Argos by the Tree of Life.
The banshees will be an exclusive to Pandora though

There's no stopping die hard Disney fans waiting for new rides! Glad to hear the rides are amazing and the land is beautiful. I can't wait to be able to say OMG! I've been following this thread from the beginning. Lots of good info and insights about the rides without spoilers. Thank you to everyone who took the time to post. It's so helpful in planning a strategy for my upcoming trip. I'm just hoping I can get a FP+ at 30 days out...I need some Pixie Dust!

Well I got in line about 5:55, it's 6:45 so 50 minutes so far for NRJ.

We went to Pandora on Memorial Day. We got up at 5am, met the 5:30 bus to AK, got in line for security by 5:45 and were in the park for the 7am EMH. We were the 14th and 15th people in line for Flight of Passage. Rode that, did the Banshee adoption experience, rode the River Journey through stand-by (posted 60 minutes, but actually like 30), got some photopass pics done and had breakfast at the Canteen in time for our 8:40am Flight of Passage FP. So, basically, if you get up and get there, you can do it all pretty easily is my take-away.

FoP was incredible. Totally amazing and probably my favorite ride now. The river thing wasn't anything special. It was pretty, but I have zero emotional connection to the story or characters, so it isn't like a Disney ride where I can be all, "oooh, there's X! I love X!" It was more like, "There is a blue person I don't know and some glowy animals." Would not wait in a long line for it again.

That is unfortunate.

That is unfortunate.

I tweeted at WDWToday and they said they would inform the custodial team.

I'm not having a problem getting availability for July 30th (60 days) for a party of 4 at least (don't have 5 eligible passes right now), starting around 3:15pm. Since I also see times like 3:20, 3:30, etc. worst case you might have to do some overlap. I think you should be fine. NRJ I still see tons of availability even as I try to change FPP a couple weeks earlier (I'm also working withing a rolling booking).

Thanks so much for the info!

Now I am debating whether to go to AK on our arrival night (7/31) in addition to a rope drop day later in the week Friday August 4 so that I can secure FP for both attractions. My dilemma is that 7/31 isn't a "recommended" night according to some crowd calendars because it is an EMH morning. Thoughts?

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?

My husband is 6'4" weighs 250-260, and about a 42" waist, had no problems, and has ridden twice. Sorry if this has already been answered but thought it might be helpful to hear from someone similar.

I may be in the minority, but I don't recall EVER seeing an overflowing trashcan anywhere at WDW (other than our hotel room, and that's because boys = mess ). The fact that it would happen at Pandora of all places just blows my mind. Got an update on that?

WDWToday tweeted saying they would take care of it. I'm too far past it now to see.

Got in like for FoP at 5:15 with a posted standby time of 120 minutes. It took me 85 to get to the first pre-show. I was pleased to say the least

However, I think a theater went down right before I got on. Saw people leaving B3 and B2. I would assume it would be only one of those if it were a protein spill.

 

[BigMommaMouse]

We went on 7DTM like six times, don't know about splash. Haunted mansion, pirates, etc. running through puddles and laughing our butts off, ran right into the que's!

Some of our best day's in WDW have been in heavy rain.

When your fastpass window arrives are you allowed to pick both avatar attractions?

The Pandora rides are both Tier 1 rides. You can only choose 1 in your initial 3 picks.

Only one per day for preselected fps

Wait time for NRJ is about right on.
