I read that you are only allowed to get a FPP for one Pandora ride per day. Does that mean that if you get FOP earlier in the day and use two other FPP, if one is available for the river ride that you cannot get it? Or do they mean one Pandora ride in your first three and then you can see what is available? Hoping to watch the FPP drop times just in case.
What would be your top three suggestions for AK FPP? I definitely want to do FOP. Would also love to do Navi River, Lion King, Safari, Dinosaur, Primevil Whirl and ITTBB, maybe EE, (will have dining package for Rivers of LIght).
I donât think thereâs a lot of availability for Navi as a 4th FP although some people have seen it as a same day FP drop like they do with FOP. I would book FOP, KS and EE and hit Navi at rope drop. The line for FOP will be insane, but if youâre inside the park before the 9 am opening time (Pandora starts running sometime around 8:45), you should hit Navi with almost no line.
That is one of the only days that we wonât be there for rope drop since we are going to MNSSH party the night before and plan to sleep in a bit. We have Tusker House reservations around 10:30 and will be staying until park close. Is the line ever shorter in the evening?
We were just in AK last week. We couldnât get a FP for FOP, so we waited in line for four hours, and it was totally worth it. It helped that we were a group of adult best friends, though, so that might not be true for everyone. Navi River was underwhelming - we rope-dropped that and walked in right away, and I think it was a waste of the rope-drop. We got into Lion King with no FP no problem, and Safari in the dark with a FP was underwhelming. I didnât do Everest myself, but my rollercoaster-loving friends thought it was worth the FP.
FOP and KS. Then If you are going to ride KRR â get a fast pass. The line can get long and the ride is very short. Ride is worth it on a hot day - midday/afternoon but not any other time. And that is when the line is longest so a FP is a must. EE you can get short lines or single rider at some point on even busy days. Personal opinion is that literally nothing else (except NAVI) is worth a fast pass or needs a fast pass at AK.
It was insane! But they had a reduced loading capacity for some reason, and by the time weâd invested over an hour in line we werenât leaving - and weâd seen almost everything else we wanted to see in the park, and we like spending time together, so we stayed. Iâm glad we did - it was worth it once!
When i walk past standby wait lines of 90 min+ I always think âwho ARE those people?!â.
now I know.
I envy you the friends worth standing in line 4 hours with!
Ironically we are staying at AKL and not going to AK this trip (I was outvoted in favor of Epcot) but itâs so tempting to get a ticket for myself and sneak off to do this!!! Trip is 2 weeks out so no chance of FP. Maybe the lines will be shorter next trip when SWGE opensâ:joy: something else I am sure to be out voted on! Good thing I love my people but someday Iâm planning a solo trip!!!
I just got FOP 10 days before my AK day! Itâs an evening time (not ideal) and I had to give up an afternoon Navi, but Iâm happy. Iâll convince DH somehow that we need to stay.
Anyway, donât give up hope, even when it seems like there is none. Peopleâs plans change and you could get their FPs.

Nomad is the lounge attached to Tiffins Restaurant, near the entrance to Pandora. It is a tranquil oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the park. They have delicious small plates (DH and I shared two as a light lunch last month) and really good drinks. Thereâs plenty of seating inside, and a beautiful wraparound porch with usual tables and chairs but also couches and loungers to relax in. It is one of my top spots in all of WDW. It remains largely undiscovered by the masses - hence why I say I need to stop sending people there
