I would not do that. Read all the posts starting page one being maintained by @rteetz . The skip to the posts starting on May 27 when Pandora opened.

I don't really understand what your saying here but I was there.. I know what I saw, I know what line I got in.

It sounds like you quoted my post in error? If not, I was encouraging the poster not to read all 6000+ posts in this thread many of which are no longer relevant.

How have people who are in FP booking window found getting FOP fast passes? I don't book until October (I know I am nuts) but getting an overall feel for what people are seeing so far, even those that booked FP but dont travel until end of summer.

We decided to book a last minute-ish trip about 40 days out and I was able to get FP for FoP no problem. There were times from about 5:00pm on. A few days later I found an earlier slot and modified it. That being said, this was before Pandora officially opened and word got out on FoP. I know some have reported finding a FP 30 days out right at 7am, but seems like it is a rarity. Best strategy would be to shoot for the last day of your trip right when your booking window opens.

LOL, ooops! It was me that quoted the wrong post. I quoted your post by accident (sorry for the pun) but was trying to quote a different one from another poster. I am going to edit my post and insert the right quote. Sorry!

@rteetz, you're getting more views on TPAS than you do on Rumors! Job well done, Ryan!!

So for those wondering about which night to hit EMH...definitely do it on a night when MK is also open until 1.

Last night at around 9pm we were leaving POP. The MK bus line was 4 rows deep. 2 packed buses left for MK.

Our AK bus had 4 people on it.

By 10:00, wait time for FOP was 120 minutes. Wait time for 7DMT was 140

 

[mrzrich]

Oh, and even though the wait time was posted at 120 minutes, we only waited 90 minutes.

I have 3 days at AK planned so my goal/plan is the last visit book FoP whatever time I can get it then NRJ and go back to beginning of trip and book in order, I dont foresee a major issue with any other FP - and in the past never missed getting one I wanted, just sometimes a different day than originally planned.

Thanks!

Also if you are staying on site, and haven't seen The movie Avatar, it is now playing on a continuous loop on channel 80 on the in room TVs

I'm so worried about not being able to get FP's at 30 days out! I just can't wait in line 3 hours...had knee surgery awhile back and still not in full recovery, but don't need a wheelchair. But I can't stand up that long! I know we are all hoping for the same thing...and I'm not complaining...it is what it is. But I'm still hoping!

I would try and see if you would qualify for a DAS. That way, you could get a return time for the ride, explore the rest of Pandora and return at the return time. It won't get you on the ride any sooner, but you won't have to stand in line.

 

[AngiTN]

They ran it opening day but they started to run out of room around pandora for the other lines.. I think it's just temporarily not in use until it hits the point where lines are within the queues themselves.

Don't know if you caught my post from a couple days ago but I had a CM tell me they will never, ever use the single rider line. Exact quote. Maybe he was wrong. Maybe he meant that day. Maybe they realized on day one it wasn't helpful. Not sure yet. Don't know if anyone is. But it would not surprise me if they never use it. The set up is awkward to have one

That's awesome!

 

[AngiTN]

Yeah doesn't it mostly follow the FP line so if it was removed 90% of people would even notice. Also since it shares the FP line I imagine it would have to be like Kali test where you got a lanyard as a single to make sure you didn't skip into the FP line.

Yes, they would have to either post a CM there to keep the line separate or give a card. Otherwise single riders would walk right in FP line and have to turn around at the next check point which will create a mess

Having lunch at Satu'li right now. The food is really good- like I know everyone's been saying that but I was still really surprised! They have a cast member making sure people don't save seats or sit before they have their food, and we managed to get seats inside.

We had 11:20 FPs for Flights of Passage and we exited at exactly 11:50. It was an amazing ride, but there were parts where I felt like my glasses weren't focused and the screen wasn't clear. Maybe it was because I was all the way on the side? But most of it looked amazing. Somebody in our row dropped their magic band into the ride, I felt bad for them.

There was no line to get into Pandora and crowds don't feel that bad. It's really beautiful and I'm crossing all my fingers and toes that we can make it to EMH to ride the river ride!

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

Ugh. Saw the same thing in the FOP line when I was there Sunday.

Those that have experienced the transition from day to night, is it worth it? I'm contemplating jumping back into the FoP standby line before they start prepping for EMH. I was thinking it would be cool to go in while it is still light out and come out to the bioluminescence.

Just wondering if I'll be missing anything with the transition

Not really... I happened to exit FOP just at sunset, so I did see the transition and it was kind of neat to watch things gets glowier as it got darker, but not a big deal to miss it.

I'm sorry if this has been answered before.

How long on average are people with a FP waiting for FoP or NRJ? We plan on getting a fastpasses for each on two separate days but was curious with the long waits how it's effecting the FP line.

My 7:20pm FOP FP was about a 15-20min wait, and a 9:30 FOP FP was a walk-on. This was on Sunday, 5/28.

How have people who are in FP booking window found getting FOP fast passes? I don't book until October (I know I am nuts) but getting an overall feel for what people are seeing so far, even those that booked FP but dont travel until end of summer.

I just fiddled with times for July 7 the other day and still saw availability for both FOP and NRJ (party of 2.)

Night time seems to have underselivered as far is interacting with the bioluminescence- but it is darn pretty

I'm with you on this - I wasn't disappointed, exactly, but I think I expected more. I feel like a lot of details get lost at night because outside of the things that glow, it's really dark in Pandora!

One other thing I would add is the sounds in the land and on the rides and in the queue are really what put t over the top - always something different and changing and just makes the land feel more *real*

YES!!! And that was the neatest part of being there for the transition from day to night: the sounds of the place totally changed. Very, very cool!

 

[FoxC63]

It won't change. This will be the case for a long time. Just like Frozen and 7dmt for the most part. Just be on right at 7am at your 30 day mark and hope for the best

This is exactly what I've been saying but others said it's only because it's opening week.

 

[ElsasFan]

Is rider switch available for FoP? My husband and I both would like to ride it standby, but we're not sure if a couple of our kids will be willing to ride it.

For reference, they won't ride Splash (but one says that she will this time), or any roller coasters. They do like Mission Space and Star Tours. It's been a long time since we were there and Soarin was open, so I don't have their reaction to that as a comparison.

 

[Tiki Birdland]

But I can't stand up that long

I wonder if a Folding Lightweight Adjustable Height Cane Seat might help?

I wonder if a Folding Lightweight Adjustable Height Cane Seat might help?

The parks do not allow cane seats or any foldable 3 legged seat for safety reasons. They are a massive fall hazard. They do allow rollators though.

I have seen someone fall out of one and break there arm, they really are not that stable.
