We can't be this close to Disney and not mention it, right?
Always a fun day out, if you want to ride on Pandora we suggest getting there as soon as the park opens, the queue always seems to be around 2-3 hours long (no we're not kidding). If you have a fast pass and you haven't been able to get entry, just keep trying throughout the day, we did and got some around 3pm.
