Passholder In-Park Preview for Pandora – The World of Avatar

You're invited to get an early peek of a groundbreaking destination--Pandora - The World of Avatar at Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park. Here, you'll be among the first to experience expeditions where you can fly on the back of a banshee, walk under floating mountains and navigate a mystical Na'vi River. You'll also be able to purchase international-inspired cuisine from Satu'li Canteen and merchandise from Windtraders. This world beyond belief awaits you.

Passholders can pre-register by making an online reservation for one in-park preview time slot. Event capacity is limited. Please note the number of reservations for this event is limited and subject to availability. There is no additional charge for this in-park preview with valid theme park admission.

Please note: as this is an early exploration, access to specific activations and some areas of the Valley of Mo'ara within Pandora - The World of Avatar may be limited during your visit.​

Done! Got it for 5/13. A 2 hour window to explore the land though makes me wonder if attractions will be open.

It explicitly says we will be able to do both rides, eat at the restaurant and shop at the gift shop:

But it also says there's no guarantee that everything will be working, so you never know, especially at the first day of previews.

They're also not going to come and escort you out. It's a two hour window to show up.

Show up, and get kicked out? Or once I get in... I can stay there forever! Hohahaha

I wonder if they'll issue ride passes to be sure we don't just keep getting in line for the rides over and over.

FP for first ride and then standby for any repeats?

 

[epcyclopedia]

They're going to want to test FP and Standby before opening for ratios and such.

So either DVC comes in now and gets FP or they let CMs ride via Fastpass.

Boo. I have a wedding the week of the 20th. But I'm totally gonna be checking for flights earlier in the week. Very tempted to give this a shot. I have never gone to a preview with my AP.

 

[Skipper Justin]

I got 5/14 6-8.

 

[Nick]

Got a preview date for 5/18.

I will say that the form they use is garbage.

Yes it is. I got 5/15 at noon. Trying to fly back out that night. And I figured if stuff is broken during my window, I may be able to hang around into a later one. Lol

 

[Mad Dog]

...Best comment of the week. :thumbsup:

 

[Alicia]

I'm going the first day of previews, and if they haven't done that many tests with CM or general public softs, I may be the one with a rock. (Floating rocks, no rides.)

 

[epcyclopedia]

AK cast previews now May 2-4, other CM previews to follow.

Good good good. Let them work out the bugs before I get to fly like an eagle on a banshee.

 

[Brian G.]

Strange that I got mine so easily. I'm all set for 5/13. I literally was in the middle of something, got a text, logged on and was all set in 30 seconds.

 

[Skipper Justin]

How busy will this be because I hate that I got the late slot. I hope I get to do both rides.
