    I am curious how long people are having to stand in line that have fastpasses.

    With yesterday's breaking numbers of 55K in the park, being closed 3 times, and open until 2 am then opening at 615 this morning.... expect that it will get crazier later.

    Standby wait time for Flights of Passage hit 300 minutes late this afternoon. Certainly a record for AK, and probably for all of WDW. I've never heard of a wait time even close to that.

    FastPass wait times are exceeding 30 minutes.

    Many unhappy guests are turning around in the standby queue and leaving, some complaining that their wait times had been much longer than what was posted when they entered the queue.

    DW and I were going to go to AK in June, we'll wait. I look forward to seeing it, but not with those insane crowds.

    Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're NOT out to get you!

    Ooof! No thank you. As much as I love FoP, there is no way I could wait that long

    As of 9:40 p.m. Disney’s Animal Kingdom is open to all Guests.

    Pandora –The World of Avatar is at a Level 4, with access only for Guests with FP+ For Pandora attractions or other special admissions.

    At this time, the standby wait to enter Avatar Flight of Passage exceeds the length of time the park will be open today for standard operating hours, so they are unable to accommodate additional Guests.


    Flight of Passage will reopen as part of “Extra” Extra Magic Hours offerings at 11 p.m.

    Will they offer fast passes after 11pm for extra magic hours? If you use up you 3 passes earlier in the day, can you schedule a pass for after 11pm?

    Fast passes are normally not used during extra magic hours. I doubt that they would make an exception for Pandora.

    I was there Saturday night and Sunday. Saturday night we did the EMH. There were no FP during those hours. I wouldn't consider either ride to be particularly fast loading so the wait times build quite quickly.

    Our FP were for 11:30-12:30 on Sunday. We went shortly after 12 and there was no real FP wait at all except for the normal ride cycle wait. Similar to Soarin' even if no one is line you may have to wait a little before you can go in because it is not a continuous loader.

    On Friday, we got to be a part of the soft opening. The posted wait time for the River ride was 60min and that's about what we waited. Honestly, the queue was bearable only because it was new. It can grow old quickly.

    The Flights ride had a posted wait time of 100min but we were in and out within an hour. That queue was MUCH more interesting, particularly towards the end. Additionally, it looks as if there will be a single rider queue for this ride, but it was not operational during the soft opening.
