I never saw a starter quest for Pandaria like they used to have so Blizz 
seems to agree that Pandaria is not to be encouraged. I am a bit burned 
out on WoD as until you get to Gorgrond or Talabor, the quest line is 
rigid. I have 7 toons on Horde with Garrisons (trying to get all my 
toons with crafting professions up and running and I am also a little 
tired of keeping up with garrison gathering, work orders and missions 
for that many. My "main" is halfway to 99 so I will push him to 100 to 
have a bit more variety.

All that said I am in no hurry to get my instant level Alliance 90 into 
the same grind. It turns out Blizz eliminated the starter quests for 
Pandaria. I found the balloon in Stormwind and under it was an active 
portal and once in Pandaria I had all the flight points.

To get my skills and flying I did have to do the WoD starter quest line. 
At different stages I would be rewarded with more abilities and talents.

The process was completely unintuitive though for someone experienced 
like me. I guess if you were just starting you would figure out to go 
through the dark portal and do WoD.
