Advice for First Timers with Fast Pass Choice :) Less the Four months to Go!!!

Hi everyone

Still not quite sure how many ppl are going on the trip as I am hoping to add my sis to the booking, but at the moment there are 2 of us, staying at coronado springs for 9 nights from 25th of April. We want to spend two days at universal but the rest of the time at disney. We have never been before and all this planning is really exciting.

I am beginning to think about my fast passes and what might work best for which days. I think I can book late feb but not quite sure which day is 60 days out. Anyway, I wanted to ask for fast pass advice. Animal kingdom first. I think we will visit on the sunday, our first day, as it has early magic hours and we will be up early, on UK time! The thing is I don't think we will have time to go back to the AK in that week, so have to fit a lot in in one day. I do know we can't do everything though! We are all adults in our 20s.

I was thinking FP for dinosaur, everest and then kali. I am not sure about the kilimanjaro safaris (looks fun but we used to live at the foot of kilimanjaro, so may have experienced it before Looking at animals never gets boring though.

The thing is we really like the sound of the nemo and beauty and the beast shows. Are they worth fast passing?

Also wanted to try Its tough to be a bug (I think a fast pass is not needed?), primeval whirl and to see the tree of life. Is flights of wonder worth seeing?

Sorry so many questions, any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks a million!

While the shows are great, you definitely can manage them without a fastpass, especially since you'll all enter the show at the same time, the ones with the fastpasses just get to go first. I would say your original selections are great ones, since those can tend to get a little line heavy, especially Everest. Kilimanjaro Safaris is absolutely worth it if you pass by and the line isn't disastrously long, its about 20 minutes and you get some great views. Have a wonderful trip!

Thanks a lot! I will try and get the three I listed and then maybe just head to the safari early. Yipeeeeeeee I cannot wait.
