That's your opinion. People who aren't optimistic all the time aren't bad people, just people not like you. I think they were all critical of both rides to some degree. Definitely not the folks saying a FoP is Amazing. Even calling out those that say they cried during FoP were over the top. If 6 years and hundreds of millions of dollars gets this, that's not impressive.

Aren't you contradicting yourself here? It's not impressive to you. Your opinion is not the One True Opinion.

Has anyone who snagged the Passholder Preview events received the email with instructions? I know the confirmation page indicated we would receive an email before May 12, 2017 and we are quickly getting to that date. We will be in Disney and I don't want to miss the email. We haven't received anything yet--anyone else?

Happy birthday and good luck on your finals!

No one accused you of bashing Pandora - you are bashing the posted opinions of others - labeling them instead of accepting them as honest reviews.

Never said that. I said you are bashing (sorry @hiroMYhero just explaining what I meant) the opinion of other because they are Disney bloggers.

I never said people who are not optimistic are bad people, you are twisting my words and I don't appreciate that.
And you are putting down an opinion because someone said it was amazing or they cried, if that's how they reacted why would they be lying? or why would that not be a valid reaction?
And with that I am done.

Dropping in again because "bashing" is freely being used...

Please remember there is the easily accessible "Ignore" function via anyone's Profile. It's helpful if you'd like to skip certain posts - easier than closing out of the thread and then returning.

"So often people do things to elicit a reaction from us. They're testing their control over us. Don't give it to them. When we engage, when we give them a reaction, any reaction, we give them control, not only over our emotions, but over our being. Do not give your words to someone who deserves your silence. Sometimes the strongest thing you can do in any situation is to stay quiet and give them nothing."

Nope. I thought it said we would receive it on the 12th not before. I haven't looked at the confirmation since booking though.

I'm 12 days away from my preview day (Sat. May 20), and I'm lucky enough to have two preview windows that day: DVC Member from 9-11 and D23 Member from 12-2. I'm wondering if I'll actually have to clear out between the windows, or if I can just linger and explore (though I'm assuming even if it's the latter, I won't be able to get on either of the rides in that time).

I have not received mine yet but I fully expect to get it May 11 at 1159 pm.

Anyone know if merchandise is being sold at the previews? I was in MK yesterday and all of the sudden a man with a banshee on his shoulder walked right by me.

#1 - it was so cute
#2 - it was definitely an attention getter
#3 - I didn't know anyone could purchase the merch yet but there he was, just walkin' around with his new friend!

These things are going to be a huge hit!

Also, I can't keep up with you guys! I fly to Orlando for two days and this board has continued to explode with info! Keep up all the good work!

Yes merchandise is being sold at the previews.

It's very relaxed, it clears out pretty well on it's own. You'll be fine lingering. If any CM does ask you to leave, which I doubt, explain your situation or tell them you know me. If they're still using the return time ticket system for FoP, more than likely it will be unavailable. NAJ will probably remain open, but no guarantee.

These things are going to be a huge hit!

Too late, they already are.

Do I need a disclaimer on my posts stating they are my opinions? I don't see them on anyone else's.

I can't wait for my boys to get theirs so that I can play with them.

That would never be allowed with mine. Sadly, I'm just going to have to get one for me, too. Oh darn oh darn oh darn...

 

[FastPasser]

You are aware of the $50 price tag?

 

[rteetz]

Could we please get back to Pandora: The World of Avatar info, questions, tips, and reviews please.

Yes we only have Disney related blog site reviews as well as a couple outsiders like the LA Times and CNET. Everyone's opinions are valid and I truly believe we are hearing honest reviews so far. We do not need to discuss validity of people's opinions.

Now I am going back to studying

 

[ashleymrush]

You are aware of the $50 price tag?

Yes. The trip in June is for their birthdays and they have birthday gift cards coming from family. They've both said they want to buy one. We will see if they both end up with one but I'm sure that my oldest will. It is very much his type of thing.

Just know they are not electronic. I saw some people stating they were. They are puppets, with a long tube that can go down your sleeve, with a simple controller in your hand that can move a few things. They sell dragons like this at the Texas Ren Faire. Even at the Faire they are a bit pricey, although they are all hand painted.

I don't think that is going to stop people including myself.....
