Waiting to Rope drop AK

[Destinyz12]

When you wait to rope drop AK, do they let you in far enough to walk around the Oasis area (like with Main Street at MK) or are you blocked off further out?

Yes.
Exactly what time that happens can vary.

You are permitted to walk up to the Tree of Life. At least %90 of guests swarm directly to the entrance of Pandora.

So our plan is to RD Everest and line up as close to wherever we can that gets us closest. Where would you recommend taking a good picture of the tree of life while we wait?

Right after you come through the Oasis at the top of the bridge.

Otherwise, it's about impossible to not find a good angle on the ToL
from anywhere around the walking path that encircles the ToL. (Green line on the map below.)

Can you get closer to the tree of life beyond the green path?

Can you get closer to the tree of life beyond the green path?

Sure.
You can walk clear up to it (and go inside it at its base) because that's where the attraction, "It's Tough to Be a Bug" is located.
The entrance to It's Tough to Be a Bug is a circuitous pathway that allows viewing the ToL
as you approach it. (And, you'll walk directly past some large unique animal sculptures in the
"carved into" base of the tree.)
There is also a path that runs right "behind" the ToL that can be accessed via the EXIT of It's Tough to Be a Bug
that also features a few animal viewing pens along its route.

Another cool area is right in front of the tree of life, more toward Africa, is an area with an amazing view of the trees and kangaroos!!

I never knew were the kangaroos were prior to this year. Its also a nice quiet area due to the rush to Pandora.

My recommendation, if your looking to get to Asia, is go through Dinoland and past the Nemo theatre.

We are planning on doing Na'vi standby first thing on a 7am emh. Is there much time to be gained by waiting in the mass of Pandora people or could we mill about and take pictures and the like?

Thanks! I can ask 50 people, and I'll get 25/25 answers on how to get to Everest at RD....Dinoland or Asia! I guess we'll pick our poison the day of!
