I can confirm there will be special DVC member previews starting May 13th -22nd!! Just received an email

AP as well.

AP as well.

I have AP's as well but not activated yet. Don't know if that makes a difference. Are the AP preview dates different then the DVC dates? I leave on the morning of the 13th and won't be able to see it

No both are the same dates.

Do you think they may add some earlier dates?

Doubtful right now. They might do some general public softs but I don't think they'll add more AP/DVC previews.

exactly. that's my point-- the "newness" may never wear off.

I'm certainly aware that's a possibility, hence my question. But it did make me genuinely curious how long Peter Pan has had that allure. Since the new queue? Before that?

I don't know. I just think with the strength of the other big attractions at AK (Everest and Safari) and a couple of other chunk grabbers (Kali and Dino), Pandora will probably even out. Could very well be wrong. If crowd levels stay high, I guess evening out won't be very likely.

Just my experience but Peter Pan had long long waits 45-60 sometimes 75-90mins throughout my stay at certain points in the day when I went in Sep 2011.

While not WDW, the DL Peter Pan ride that is pretty darn old ALWAYS has a long wait, typically at least 45 min and it currently has no FP option. There are numerous reasons to account for that wait beyond sheer popularity, but when a ride is a favorite, it's a favorite and will continually have long lines until something better comes along to distract the park goers.

If the Pandora rides are really different and awesome (and not prone to technical difficulties that diminish the awesomeness of the ride), it is plausible they could become favorites and maintain long lines well after the initial newness surge.

However, with the new Toy Story Land and Star Wars Land debuting in the next few years, it is entirely possible whatever is done in those lands makes the Pandora rides look boring in comparison so the novelty wears off and they become less popular. I would hope if that happens, they review the tier structure they have set up and get rid of it.
