6. The Visuals Love: It’s possible to find some video footage of the ride online, but any guest who’s ridden Flight of Passage will tell you that those clips don’t do the ride justice.  In the first place, the ride is a 3D attraction, and you lose a lot of the experience without the 3D glasses.  Further, a computer monitor ...

7. The Storyline Love: The background of Avatar Flight of Passage involves the Pandora Conservation Initiative coming in to restore and protect Pandora after the disastrous aftermath of the Resources Development Administration’s mining practices.  Now, in association with Alpha Centauri Expeditions, tourists are offered the opportunity to link with an avatar and experience the exhilaration of flying on the back ...

4. Late Afternoon / Early Evening If you scheduled your third FastPass for this time, make your way in the direction of the attraction.  If your FastPasses are all gone at this point, you can always use the My Disney Experience app on your phone to get a fourth FastPass, even if it might not be for the most popular ...
