DGD hasn't seen Avatar. Not really planning to watch it before our trip. Since the land is Pandora, not Avatar, I don't think it's necessary to enjoy the area. As you said, it's going to be visually stunning and fun. Knowing the movie won't impact that. Much like, few people have seen Song of the South but they still enjoy the theme of Splash Mountain. Because it's visually impressive and fun. I see Pandora as the same thingWe'll be there the week right after opening and while Pandora wasn't one of our favorite movies, I'm counting on Disney to have the area just as visually stunning as the movie was. That's what I'm 'excited' about. I'm hoping that the tunnel is decked out and gorgeous, and from some of the aerial pictures I've seen, the plants and scenery look wonderful. My kids are too young to have seen the movie (maybe we'll watch before we go to gauge their interest), and have other places they want to see/do while we're there, so I guess we'll just play it by ear and see what happens. I'll certainly want to walk through it though...all those trees, early June in Orlando, here's hoping for some shady spots. LOL.
Hope everyone has a great day!

I'm going to watch the movie before our preview and my daughter will not. We want to see if it makes a difference, I am also of the thought that it won't matter that much but we will seeThe parking lots don't close but there are hours the booths are manned.

you basically park for free when there is no one manning the engtrance, I've also gone to the parks about an hour and a half before closing to find there's no one manning the entrance eitherReally, they have the booths open? In that case i'd get a van and camp out there!
there's all kinds of people, some probably do, though I don't think it makes a huge difference in Disney's pocketThis I never knew! Just really surprises me they don't have gates or anything. Or security checking on left cars. I mean if one is really pinching it, arrive at 5 am, park for free, nap and tope drop!! Do people do this ??

Thanks, y'all!
@tigger536 and I were able to snag a room with check-in on the 27th, so we get EMH at 7 a.m. for Opening Day! We're planning to use our RunDisney experience and will be in the parking lot at, oh, 5:30 a.m. so we can get in line to get into the park AND get to Pandora.
I'm watching for FP+s on Saturday, but there was nothing available ... but, oddly enough, I was able to get PP-SDMT-Splash late afternoon on Saturday with NO problems which seems super odd to me for a major holiday weekend. So, we'll do our best at AK that day and try to ride both rides (IF WE CAN), head to MK and California Grill for Happy Ever After that night, and then back to AK for 11-1 EMH.
On Sunday, I have FP+s for EE, Banshee and RoL. Again, we have access to EMH that night as well, so I'm hoping we can get a second ride on Banshee or River Journey.
There hasn't been speculation that AK will reach capacity.Will the park reach capacity, you think?
Express bus??? What's that?But I think we'll use the Express Bus vs. trying to go through the front gates.
