I find it hard to believe that they've only extended park hours for July for DHS. Does anyone think they'll add EMH to DHS for August-December or just extend hours?

We are going Jersey Week and I was hoping for a few more AM EMH. October only has one a week.

We have the 8am EMH planned for 9/2. I'm hoping they change it to 7am.

I didn't read through all the thread but are they going to have a soft opening to this area? I remember when fantasy land was opening the BOG, ariel ride and mine train, we were there a few weeks early and were allowed in. We are going May 28th and I would love to preview this area. I don't know how early they usually do soft openings.

Thanks. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

I don't think previews would start that early. As far as I know, Pandora didn't have the same soft openings, it was all scheduled for DVC, AP and CMs. But I might be remembering wrong?

There were some unannounced openings. CMs would invite guests into Pandora...chosen randomly from the gated areas. That was after previews and before the grand opening ceremony.

 

[KateP85]

Oh OK, so there is definitely hope for people who can't get in for previews - just a little bit closer to the opening date!

The Grand Opening with Iger and celebrities was held 3 days prior to Pandora officially opening but I don’t think they did any soft opens in those 2 down days. @rteetz probably knows.

No I don’t believe there were any soft openings those days either. It was all media and special guests.

From what I’ve heard media will be there June 28th so if they are doing a big grand opening that could happen on June 29th.

We were in AK last year on Friday before the opening of Pandora on Saturday. There were cast members out saying Pandora was open and I asked for AP holders or everyone and she said everyone. We were able to ride FOP with a 20-30 minute wait and then again with about an hour wait. From what I remember everything in the area was open up for several hours up until early afternoon.

Ok. I know they did do some soft openings but those days all run together at this point.

I know those few days before the opening they had several media events and private events with the celebrities there and such.

If only we knew someone who was there during the entire preview process and VIP events, and who was at the dedication ceremony standing only feet away from Bobby as he rehearsed and delivered his speech. Maybe they could shed some light on the soft opening question.

I think we do know someone, don't we? Hopefully that person isn't teasing us but will enlighten us as soon as allowed?

Is that the same person who was there when my CM friend was coordinating the entertainment CMs for the Opening Ceremony and he didn’t even look for her?

Guilty, but it wasn't intentional. Lots and lots going on, and you know how Bobby can be.

No, they are not teasing, but they have to head over to DHS to make some Magic as soon as they post this.

FastPasser. Makin' the Magic since 20**.

I wouldn’t expect everything to be completed over 2 months out. Now if we were 30 days out I’d be more concerned.

Starting to get to that excitement point where things are coming together. Excited to see what it looks like once May hits and early June too. I loved seeing how Pandora came together in the end.
