Animal Kingdom Morning Plan
We're really only interested in a few things at the Animal Kingdom on our upcoming trip. I was wondering what you guys think of this plan. Also note, we're going in July (HOT!) so I expect the parks to be pretty busy.
1. Arrive within 30 minutes of park opening
we try to get there at opening, but realistically we never make it at rope drop
2. Get fast passes for EE
I've heard that you don't have to go all the way to the ride to get FP. Is this true?
3. Go see the Lion King show
this will be our first time seeing this show, I'm interested in any advise on how best to see this
This is the main attraction on the list since it will be the only thing new for our entire family
4. Drop DS3 and DW at Dinoland play area and take DS7 on first ride of EE
Of course DW probably plans on dropping me off at the park and taking DS7 on EE!
We'll just have to flip for it.
5. Get FP for Kilimanjaro Safari
6. Ride Kali River Rapids - Whole family
My thinking is that in my experience Kali River Rapids usually has a shorter standby wait than Kilimanjaro Safari
What do you think?
7. Use FP on Kilimanjaro Safari
So what do you think? Can we do this and be back to our hotel by lunch time? Even during the busy time of July?
Any other suggestions for seeing these attractions?
Ah the planning, so much fun.
We were just there this am...
We arrived at 9:30am (we never seem to make rope drop either!) and we managed to do quite a bit before leaving at 1:30pm:
Autographs w/ Pooh, Eeyore, & Tigger
Finding Nemo
EE (FP)
Kali River Rapids (got soaked!)
Festival of the Lion King
Autographs w/ Mickey, Minnie, Daisy, Goofy, Miss Bunny
Lunch at FlameTree
The autographs took up the most time, but they're a must-do for my son. We never even went to "Africa" and avoided Dinoland. AK crowd level was "5", which is a big difference from July.
I would give yourselves until at least 2pm to accomplish all that you want to see and do!
