Thanks, there's 5 people in line right now

Got any names of the event guides (blue striped shirts) at check-in?

Do you think being in line an hour before AP spot is enough?

It has been so far, plus fewer people are expected to attend the AP previews.

Is the bridge and walkway leading into pandora wide enough for the tons of people entering and exiting? The pictures don't look to wide.

If you're referring to the current preview traffic, it's not that many people, so plenty of room. As Rteetz alluded to, it's not that small.

Thanks Fastpasser! We want to have a shot at the Banshee so planning on getting in line around 2 (it is usually shady over there anyways) and then head straight there when we get in at 3.

Oh man I wish we could trade slots. We wanted a late slot on Saturday to see the land at night but got 3-5. We have tiffins dinner after so hoping to be able to poke our head in to see it light up.

I booked the late slot for that reason, to hope to see it in the evening, even though I know it isn't dark at 8:00

Hopefully they'll discontinue the current policy of doing a hard close at 8pm, so maybe you'll be able to linger until it is dark.

Well, we won't get to go but hopefully it works out for others

In line

I don't see the temporary gates. They were there last night.

We bought a "shoulder dragon" very much like this at a Renaissance Festival. It was expensive as you-know-what, but dang if it wasn't completely worth it.

Yes, there will be two banshees in our future...

I have a pair of plush shoulder dragons from past Ren fairs as well! I don't go to the Ren fair anymore, but they still sit on my shelf happily reminding me of all the times I ate and drank too much, and was merry. I totally want a souvenir Banshee with a stand.

And I just have to say, most of the merchandise for Disney's Pandora looks fantastic! The past few Disney trips, despite having money, I've bought minimal merchandise because most of it was identical throughout the parks, and not themed to certain park specific areas like it was in the past. I already have plenty of generic "Disney Parks" shirts. I'm hoping they keep the unique merchandise, because when I finally make it to AK again, I will be spending alot of money.

Another thing I'm interested in is the make your own Na'vi action figure...has anyone done this yet? Like how custom is it really? I'd love more details about this (i.e. can someone on these boards who makes one please post about it?).

I have seen that the Flight of Passage queue has capacity for something like a 4 hour line.

Possibly learned their lesson from FEA?

I hope it ends up being like Little Mermaid where it isn't needed. I don't think people realize that different departments work on line and design. So one group says how long they want the line to be (needed or not) and then imagineers have to make it work. At least a lot of this line seems to be inside.

My guess is from RSR.

They didn't have much space to work with for that one.

I am sure they'll need it for at least the first month.

This is another reason why I booked for the last preview slot of the day. If there's any extra time allowed in, it would be with the last group of the day. Not expecting it, but odds are much better for the night group

There is also an entrance and exit near the Festival of the Lion King. It's not exactly a small bridge. I don't think it will be a major problem.

When I saw the map I didn't know we can use that path that goes into Africa. That's awesome, thanks!

Right now that path isn't open but it will be after official opening.

Asking again...is it the screen-work in FOP that creates the weightless "drop" type feeling or does the seat actually drop? If it's the screen-work, one can simply close their eyes if those feelings become too intense. Can someone that has ridden confirm? Thank you!

Don't believe any Dis Board member has ridden yet. Got some there today so maybe you'll get an answer later today?
