Pandora: The World of Avatar Announcement, Construction, & Preview Discussion

[Imperius]

Just more so people will go to MK and ask where is Pandora I'm sure.

Disney is spending A LOT of advertising money on this land. At least here in Central Florida. It doesn't matter what channel I have on, I see the new commercial almost every commercial break.

I've seen a lot of ads but they've all gone over as well as a led balloon in the settings I've been in.

There's an ad for it during almost every single commercial break during the World Baseball Classic games on MLB Network.

That's where I'm seeing it a lot, but also on many other channels too.

And it only says "At Walt Disney World Resort"

Was at the park today and it was fairly packed. AK was not made for the crowds. Avatar might break its seams

Remember that movie you saw at the dawn of the modern 3D age and haven't seen or thought about again? Come experience it at Disney!

It's a tough sales pitch.

Yea, I was there yesterday. Never seen it that busy. Maybe not since it first opened anyway. I skipped anything I couldn't get a fast pass for and just did the Animal paths. Despite the huge crowds the animal paths are still relaxing and less traveled. The crowds might be a little more spread out if people actually took the time to walk them and go look at animals in the Animal Kingdom.

People will be looking for Harry Potter's Pandora.

 

[adjjb]

It's Canadian spring break week it'll be insane like that probably all week.

 

[Pixie Jules]

I will be down in Disney when The World of Avatar will be opening. You will not catch me in the AK on that weekend. It will be nuts.

 

[Imperius]

Yeah I'm going to try and book a hotel for the second week of May and hope for softs.

Experienced my first unload of a Rivers show as a guest who happened to be in the main corridor the other night. It's like MK before the new hub on a capacity day. The single bridge to the Oasis from Discovery Island was not meant for that kind of traffic.

 

[Mad Dog]

When Pandora opens it might be a decent strategy to forgo the ROL show and hit Pandora then. Pandora should be in it's greatest glory in the night anyway, and 5,000 people diverted watching ROL.

Hey, unless they haul my butt around in a truck I ain't walkin' to see no animals.... Where are the rides?? Food court anyone?

.....One thing you get on OU that you don't see on many other forums, lot's of good well meaning humor. :thumbsup:

Awwww, don't get me wrong I love the rides and the food but the animals are my thing. I love animals.

I was at the park today as well and I've gotta say while the lines were really long, you can't say "wasn't made for the crowds" until you've been to Disneyland. All 4 WDW parks are definitely much more spacious and easier to move around regardless of crowds.

I may be crazy, but I have a feeling that Animal Kingdom will appear to absorb the Pandora crowds better than we might expect. To the eye, I don't think it's going to look like a complete madhouse, because there are so many winding paths and tucked away areas which could theoretically hold more people than one might currently find there.

They will also have an entire new land to explore which is not currently open. Pandora should soak up crowds quite nicely.

Yup, right into the 2-3 hour queue for Flight of Passage.
