The one thing
Flight of Passage is the ride everyone remembers, so it's the one the rope-drop crowd sprints for. Its one real dip is the last two hours.
Read the full play 02The route
Na'vi River Journey and Expedition Everest as soon as they open, Kali River Rapids when it opens at 9, and Kilimanjaro Safaris after 3.
Read the full play 03Every headliner
Kilimanjaro Safaris peaks by late morning and then collapses, so it's the one line to push past 3.

Pandora: The World of Avatar
Flying simulator · 44 in
Flight of Passage is the park's heaviest line and it holds there through the middle of the day. Its one real dip is the last two hours before close, so save it for the walk toward the exit.
Pandora: The World of Avatar
Boat ride · opened 2017
Na'vi is shorter at the open, climbs through the morning and holds in the 40s into the afternoon before easing toward close. Ride it first thing, before the rest of Pandora catches up to it.
Asia
Coaster · 44 in
Everest is short at the open, peaks in the late morning and eases through the afternoon. Ride it in the first hour and you beat nearly all of that climb.
Africa
Safari ride · opened 1998
The safari trucks are busiest in the morning, then the wait collapses by early afternoon and stays short through close. Push this one back and ride Kilimanjaro Safaris after 3 instead of during the morning rush.
Asia
Raft ride · 38 in
Kali opens later than the rest of the park, and it's near empty for that first stretch before climbing to about 30 by midday. Get wet early.
