which FP+?? Avatar FOP or Navi River?

[joyvierze]

So, it seems that Flight of Passage has longer lines that Navi River in Pandora? But I have heard the queue line in FOP is not to be missed. Is it worth waiting a little longer at FOP and getting fast pass for Navi River? or will the wait just be too long and better to just get one for FOP?? I would either do FOP first ride of the day and enjoy the queue line, then do Navi with a fast pass, or would do Navi River and then FOP with a fast pass and probably miss the queue line. anyone with experience on these rides yet with any advice? we book our fast passes tomorrow morning! thanks!

Without a doubt, I'd FP+ FoP. I've heard the queue is awesome too, but I'm just not willing to wait in lines more than an hour (even that is stretching it) for any ride. FoP can have lines that are 3-4 hours long.

Other option would be to rope drop FoP, which means showing up at the gates super early, and doing it standby and then having FP+ for NRJ.

Can't speak for the queue as we did FP+, but FoP ride is awesome!!

First thing in the morning the reports are the FoP line goes through the FP line, so you bypass the standby line if you get there early.

You'd have to weigh your options. Do you want to see the standby queue which is easily the best out of any line but risk waiting 2-3 hours? Or bypass majority of it with a FP and not wait in line?

When we did FoP in June at ropedrop on EMH morning we went through the queue. There were maybe 100 people in front of us walking into Pandora. I don't know what the procedure is now.

Definitely FP+ for FoP. You can always choose to do it standby.

well... I guess my question didn't even matter, all FP+ for FOP were out at the 60 day mark at the strike of 7am! So we will join the crazies rushing at rope drop! Couldn't even get a morning Navi River FP, got one for the afternoon...

We rope dropped FOP on Tuesday and they sent us through the FP line

Would you mind telling us what time you arrived at the park and how long the line was? TIA!!!

We arrived at 7:50 for a 9 a.m. Opening. We tapped our bands around 8:30 and were lead to the bridge entering Pandora. Roughly 7:48 we entered the queue and were back outside at 9:17 and then went to NRJ

I think you mean 8:48 you entered and were out by 9:17? I had to do a double take because it reads that you arrived 70 min early but had a 90 min wait.

So arrived 70 min ahead of park opening and had a 30 min wait?

If you're interested in an alternate strategy, I've seen recent wait times as short as 40 minutes for FoP and 10 minutes for the River after 9 pm.

FOP for sure! We went overcaround 10pm to wait for Navi. Sign Said 45 minute wait. It was literally walk on (5 minutes)

Thanks for this info. We'll use it next weekend as our strategy!

No plans for AK at night, but will keep in mind for next trip. Thanks!
