Pro Tips for Pandora and Beauty & The Beast Experiences
PRO TIP TO SECURE PANDORA FAST PASSES:
Pandora at Disney's Animal Kingdom is sure to be one of the most popular new attractions opening in a long time at WDW. It is sure to be packed when it opens May 27, 2017.
If you are already planning a trip to AK to see Pandora. We HIGHLY recommend you get your calendar out right now and mark the date you can start reserving fast passes for you and your family/friends. If you have a Disney Resort reservation, you can go onto the My Disney Experience App and secure a fast pass as early as 60 days in advance before check-in. If you are an annual passholder or have purchased your tickets, you can reserve as early as 30 days in advance. If you thought Mine Train fast passes were hard... we are confident Pandora attractions will be tough too. And well, as we always say, time is money so you'll want to avoid long lines as much as possible.
