Seeing that they haven't hired or trained the CM's to work the attractions and restaurants in Pandora, if there is a preview that early in April, it's not going to amount to much. I say this is another of that website's famous rumor fails. That is the site that had like a dozen wrong dates for the opening of Rivers of Light. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DisneyVampire 45 Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Having someone that works at DAK.... it isn't ready for previews /that/ early. Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jknezek 1 Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Hmm. Seems like a pretty bad rumor considering those are AP blackout dates. What's the point of doing AP previews with the AP people? 4/8 through 4/21 is a no go... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shoreline99 137 Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 I think those are aggressive dates. My guess is that they start the AP previews towards the end of April, but I have no info to back that up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 I'm guessing somewhere around April 22nd (I think) that's Earth Day, and also the official anniversary of Animal Kingdom itself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 The same blogger who started the AP Preview rumor is now saying that FP+'s will open up for the new Avatar rides tomorrow, Friday March 24th: http://wdwnt.com/blog/2017/03/fastpass-reservations-open-tomorrow-pandora-world-avatar/ Since we are still more than 60 days out from the official opening date, if they do open FP+'s tomorrow, and apply the usual rules, only guests who have a resort reservation that begins within the 10 days prior to the opening date will be able to reserve those FP+'s. I can't see them doing that. At least we don't have to wait very long to see if this blogger is full of it on this one. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

From my TA emails from Disney today. For a limited time, May 27-July 4, 2017, Guests staying at select Walt Disney World® Resort hotels can explore Pandora – The World of Avatar beyond regular Park hours. Nightly Extra Magic Hours will take place from 11 p.m.-1 a.m. only in Pandora – The World of Avatar at Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park. This offering will provide Guests with an additional opportunity to enjoy everything Pandora – The World of Avatar has to offer – including navigating a mystical river, flying on a back of a banshee and walking under floating mountains. Please note valid Theme Park admission and a Resort ID are required. In addition, Guests staying at select Walt Disney Resort hotels can reserve Disney FastPass+ selections for attractions, including those in Pandora – The World of Avatar, up to 60 days prior to check-in beginning March 24, 2017. Disney FastPass+ service will be available at the two attractions within Pandora – The World of Avatar during regular Theme Park hours. Guests may select only one of these two attractions in their first set of Disney FastPass+ selections, subject to availability. There’s so much excitement surrounding the debut of this world beyond belief that we suggest your Clients take advantage of Nightly Extra Magic Hours to visit Pandora – The World of Avatar. Then, they can reserve Disney FastPass+ experiences to enjoy the rest of Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park during regular hours. If your Clients have an existing reservation at a select Walt Disney World Resort hotel, they will receive communication notifying them of the Nightly Extra Magic Hours. *Valid Theme Park admission required. FastPass+ attractions and entertainment experiences, the number of selections you can make and available arrival windows are limited. Certain features and benefits require online registration.

Katman1356...Jason 1,140 Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 I will also say the owner of Mouse Counselors has been invited to a preview event on May 24th. I agree with the doubts on an AP preview in a couple of weeks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for sharing that, Jason. I don't like this, because it means that the FP+'s for May 27th are going to be long gone before the 60 day mark hits. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Thanks again to Jason for confirming that crazy rumor about Pandora FP+'s becoming available today. Look at what I have: Note that we have FP+'s for both FCP (The Flying Chairs of Pandora) and ISP (It's a Small Pandora). The App said you could only pick one, but there was apparently a glitch, but today's early birds got to pick both: It's good to be TCD. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
