DAK Pandora - The World of Avatar opening day reports

[wdwmagic]

Line for Pandora, and there is a lot behind all the way to turnstiles and outside the park

 

[DJCeejay]

Is the single rider line open?

 

[wdwmagic]

A controlled entry and exit to Pandora is in operation. Entry by Tiffins, exiting to Harambe

Can't be there, but I'm watching Pochantas... considered changing the color settings on my TV so that all of the natives would appear blue, but thought that might be a step too far... for anyone there, enjoy!

I'm going to take this opportunity to remind everyone how relentlessly chewed out I got by 90% or so of the people on this forum for suggesting (years ago) that this area might actually be successful. Looks like it's doing a pretty decent job drawing people to the park, and getting spectacular reviews.

Vindication.

The real test will be to see how long the craziness keeps up over the next week or if it dies down to at least manageable madness lol.

Guests with FastPass are being bypassed from the queue to enter Pandora

The wait just to get into pandora is almost backed up to the front of the park entrance. Asked a cast member and they said it was at least a few hours.

 

[DJCeejay]

That are good news

Loved FOP. Amazing ride. Now there are huge lines for everything including merchandise and photo spots. Currently getting breakfast which has the shortest lines in Pandora.

Well, Disney planned to open it on Memorial Day weekend to ensure massive crowds. That's also why they had a surprise EMH this morning. All to make the crowds looks busier than the opening of Harry Potter. They are fishing for mass media coverage.

I must be a WDW nerd if I work up and was excited to check the forum chatter about opening day like I was going to be there or something. And here I sit hitting the refresh button.

Ah yes. I've heard about people like you.

 

[wdwmagic]

1 hour 45 mins from turnstiles into Pandora

 

[raven]

195 mins and 90 mins standbys right now. No non-EMH guests are inside.

Friends who is are non-Disney resort guests fooled that system and were in by 7:15am this
morning.
