I've heard that there's a line on the left going into Pandora, and that's the one for Na'vi. It's also a lot shorter. I'll see for myself when we go there next Wednesday!
We did this Thursday. Got a bus around 8:05, through security and turnstiles around 8:30, stopped to use the restroom, walked over the bridge to pandora around 8:45 at a leisurely pace and walked right onto Navi with no wait. We were off and exploring pandora before 9 and tried a pongu lumpia with no line at pongo pongo. We missed all the herding at the bridge and standing around waiting, and the FOP line really wasn't hard to get around - most of the people we walked in with just headed to the right and down the path to Africa while we kept left.
I like the sound of that! The pictures I’ve seen of the bridge give me heart palpitations lol.
Did you avoid the hoard of people going to FoP by going at 8:45?
My advice for the better way to do it is to get a FP for about 9:30 for FoP. Rope drop FoP, walk on Navi, and then use FP for FoP again. This way you get 2 rides on FoP, get to do Navi and be done with it forever, and out of Pandora by 10:15. Once you do FoP once, you will want to do it again.
