We used the "secret entrance" in the Rainforest Cafe and avoided the opening gates. We got to AK at about 8:30. We walked straight to Navi and were able to walk onto it. Our FOP fastpasses were for later in the day.
I don't know anything about a secret entrace from rainforest to pandora - but I do know that rainforest is inside the security bubble. You have to go through bag check to get there.What about the bag check / security area? Do you get to skip all of that by going in this way?
This is our plan if we do NRJ at all. Rode it twice this year and it was ok but I wouldn't wait more than 30-40 mins for it again. We'll give it a shot later in the day. We'll rope drop FOP and FP it too.Do NR close to closing. It was a total walkin.
