Today marks the 40th Anniversary of Disneyland's Space Mountain!
News
Animal Kingdom at Phase 1 closure
Flight of Passage 250 min posted wait
Navi River Journey 200 min posted wait
Windtraders (giftshop) 110 min wait
Pandora itself is closed to guests unless you have a FP.
i was reading that if you have a FP they will let you in but they are asking you to come by closer to your FP time
One report I saw was they were telling people in line if they have FP to go do other stuff in AK and then come back 10 mins before their FP window
I kept my focus on the Pandora thread today but wanted to add some info here as well. As we know Pandora opened today (May 27th) to the public. At 7:15AM Pandora was already prepped for a controlled access phased closure. Mid morning Pandora saw a Phase 3 controlled access closure. This meant only those who had a FP, VIP tour, face paint touch up, or AvatarMe return time were allowed into Pandora. Everyone else had to wait in lines outside the land. The Africa side Entrance/Exit was used exclusively as an exit today. No word if that will continue. At roughly 7PM, both attractions closed their standby lines to general guests. Those standby lines reopened between 10:30PM and 11PM for Resort guests as EMH began at 11PM. The line for EMH entry to the land began at 7PM and stretched all the way to the Festival of the Lion King Queue.

okay, this definitely falls into the rumor category but I'm posting it anyway because in a weird way, it seems to make sense to me! The gist of the story is that Big Thunder Mountain is the focus of a study that shows it (and other roller coasters like it) may help to pass small kidney stones! Here's the link:

It was only Pandora. It was never confirmed that there were any phased closures for the park itself.Just a quick question as I was reading it worded both ways - was it just Pandora that got to a phased closure or was it for all of Animal Kingdom?
Any more word on reactions and Disney's response to many people that were lined up for the EMH not getting to go on the rides?
I've seen this story before. Definitely weird.okay, this definitely falls into the rumor category but I'm posting it anyway because in a weird way, it seems to make sense to me!

So, note to self... Apply for government research grant to explore the impact on personal happiness of a three month Disney experience at Wilderness Lodge versus the impact on personal happiness of a seven month five star global Disney Parks experience. It might be hard work but I'm willing to endure it because the world deserves to know the answer... at the governments expense!
As of right now no because DHS has the Disney Junior live on stage.Any chance we get this in DW? I know they have it during EMH but my little ones don't last that long. We really push it to see wishes.
Not really if you think about it. They use vibrations from sound waves to break up large kidney stones. I'm assuming that the amount of vibration the kidney experiences on the ride is enough to help break up smaller ones if the theory is true.I've seen this story before. Definitely weird.
