AVATAR Land opening date?

[Rteetz]

I don't know if anyone posted this but blockoutdates.disney.com have blocked Main Entrance Passes for Animal Kingdom only from May 20th to May 31st (the rest of the parks are open)

May 27 - 29, Employee Self Admission is also blocked.

I think it is pretty clear something is going on...

Plus the major press event from the 21-27th. They are opening this thing then or at least that is the current plan.

Can you explain what 'main entrance pass' means please?
We are there may 17th to June 7th, and have a 3 week pass.

It's for CMs. You won't have to worry.

Come on softs before the 8th...

I'm excited ....but I'll believe it when I see it

Works for me... means the land will have (officially) been open for a little over two months by the time I go... hopefully plenty of time to get all the bugs worked out (and let the crowds dies down)... now the big question... spoil the surprises and watch all the videos as soon as they come out or wait in agony for two months before I go and see it for myself...

Nice...We get there on May 29.

Planning to leave town the 27th. I hope we'll catch some softs.

 

[GhostHost1000]

I'll be there until the 28th. Should be interesting


Hoping for some soft openings that week before official opening

We are there from the 20th until the 26th - I'm praying hard for some soft openings. I was spending the day there on the 24th...

Seriously considering flying down for memorial day weekend. I already made Ohana reservations a few months ago just in case.

I notice that AK hours have mostly been extended to 9pm except that May 24 the park closes at 7:00. Possible media event that night?

Media event is week long. May 21-27.

I knew about the media week - sorry I didn't make that clear. What I meant was since DAK closes at 9 every other night of the media week, but at 7 on the 24th , that there might be a specific DAK event/activity there that night.

We are now planning on trekking down for Memorial Day weekend to catch this. I have not experienced any other grand opening on property before other than some places in Disney Springs. This could prove to be a bit more.....exciting.

Or more boring if you don't like huge crowds and insane lines

There will be at least 100,000 people who have been to Pandora at AK and ridden the rides before Memorial Day, it'll just be so much more crowded for that "official" opening. All of this is contingent on them actually finishing everything on time though.
