I just got back and want to report that Flight of Passage was a little more accessible than I expected. My family had Fast Passes for our two AK days so we weren't too worried about standby times, but I kept a close eye on them.
On Wednesday 4/18 at about 2pm (long after we rode with Fast Passes), the posted wait time was only 80 minutes. We figured that was too good to pass up so we got in line. We only waited about an hour before we got into the pre-show. Unfortunately, when we were in the second pre-show room with glasses in hand, the entire building had to be evacuated due to a "reported fire emergency" and the ride was shut down for hours. I don't think I'm ready to talk about that part yet, so I'll move on.
The point is that the wait was actually very reasonable that afternoon. That was obviously kind of fluky but we were back there two days later and the wait time briefly dipped to 90 minutes - again in the early afternoon. So, maybe there's hope for folks without Fast Passes. But wait, there's more.
Rope Drop Ride Report: On Friday 4/20, we arrived at the gates at about 8:05 for a 9:00 opening. We were not at the front of the crowd by any stretch, but we still finished the ride by 9:20.
Here's hoping that lots of you have similar experiences (except for the fire alarm part).
