Soft opening for Pandora?

[Helene4]

Any rumors of a soft opening before May 27 ? I will be there the week before and can't believe I'm going to miss it!

I live and work here near WDW and know lots of folks that work for Disney. I have not yet heard any thing about soft opening, but I can tell you the buzz about Pandora has really been amping up lately so I would not be surprised if they did have a soft opening a little sooner. If I were you I would keep an ear out, and expect NOT to get to see it. That way if you DID get to participate in a soft opening it would be a wonderful surprise!!! I just wouldn't get my hopes up in case.

I thought I heard DVC and AP previews starting April 21st or 22nd. Obviously, just rumors at this point.

You are partially right.

AP holders will get a first preview, but already on the 8 & 9 of april.

Yes, there is a preview for AP holders and DVC members. I'm booked for May 16th. DVC members must have an onsite reservation to be eligible for this. The preview is in 3 2-hour blocks per day. I'm booked for the 3-5pm block.

On Wednesday May 24th the Animal Kingdom closes at 3:30PM. My guess is that this will be a Pandora media preview day after closing.

My grandkids are going the following week and they have already booked fast passes for the Na'vi river journey.
