houston we have a problem



i have a problem with the stupid disney fast pass system

i am looking at getting passes for the avatar ride and missed out on the river of light

so it looks like an early start on the sunday 04/03/18

it looks like the park opens at 9am would they be letting thru the gates early to que ?

i am staying on IDrive at the rosen inn @ pointe

what time would you recommend to get to the park
8 or 8.30 ?

i will keep checking for a stray pass like i got on the 7DMT

If you are trying to do flight of passage, you need to be at the gates at least an hour before if you want to do it without a long wait, recent reports I've seen say they start operating the ride before official park opening, but if you aren't near the front the wait will be at least a couple of hours

Why not book one of the restaurant in the AK for breakfast if you try to get a early one then you can just walk over to the the ride just a idea

Josh at easyWDW has a few blogs showing AK rope drop and how it works with regard to getting to flight of passage. He recommends getting to the park very early (I think his recommendation was 60-90 minutes before park open if I don’t remember wrongly) to put yourself in an advantageous spot for getting on to flight of passage.

I did the AK flight of passage rope drop yesterday arriving about 740 (for an 8am EMH), which is later than the recommended time. However I am solo and I walk fast. When I got into the flight of passage queue we were told by the CM that the wait time from our point would be about an hour - turned out to be just about half an hour. They were telling people joining the end of the queue that the wait time would be 2 hours (then later on it became 3 hours). So if I had been at that point in the queue I would probably have left the queue and went to do some other things like safaris and EE with a short wait and then come back to flight of passage at night...

I think unless you are in and out of breakfast (Tusker house) incredibly fast, you would actually be at a disadvantage for flight of passage if you do pre-park opening breakfast. This is because they hold people at the discovery island area before letting people through to Pandora, and if you went for breakfast at Tusker house you would need to backtrack to discovery island to get to Pandora and would run smack into the crowd of people waiting at rope drop...

If you go in to the FP you don't want (must be tier 1), you then have the option to make changes to either the time or the experience. Choose experience and then look to see if what you want is available. If it is, then select it and confirm. If it isn't, then just exit without confirming any chsnges and you'll keep the original fastpass

You don't need to delete to check availability. Are you doing it on the app? Click on your fast pass (if you have booked Navi River you will need to choose that to try for FoP as they are the same tier), and then click on modify. You can then see what else is available

Have you signed up for alerts on here for changes in park hours? If they extend park hours then there will be more fast passes available in the extra opening time, just yesterday they have extended hours for a few days in the next couple of weeks
