AK/EP 1 Day Plan. Need help

[emkrueger]

2 of us (24, 23) are planning on doing AK and EP on Wed, Aug 12. Crowd Calendar on UG is 6. AK has early EMH, which we plan on being at for RD. Any suggestions/feedback would help alot for our busy day!

1. Kilimanjaro, obtain FP's for later if necessary if animals aren't out yet
2. Pangani forest trail
3. Khali Rapids, or get FP's for later depending on wait time
4. Single rider at EE, while other runs and grabs FP's for Dinosaur
5. See flights of Wonder or walk Asian trial (depending on show time)
6. Early lunch Yak and Yeti walk up
7. See It's tough to be a Bug
8. Dinosaur using FP
9. Finish any of the previous that didn't get done using FP's
10. Tree of life Trials
11. Oasis

hoping to be at Epcot between 1-2 using Disney buses...

1. Obtain Soarin FP's
2. Ride Living with the Land
3. Honey I Shrunk the Audience
4. World Showcase (start at Canada, end at Mexico, while enjoying some adult beverages along the way)
5. Spaceship Earth
6. The Seas
7. Use Soarin FP's
8. ADR at San Angel Inn at 8:00
9. Illuminations

*I know some "major" attractions have been left off, but I've been to coming to Disney 1-2x/year for 15 yrs and this is my DGF 24 first time here, so this is an agenda with everything she wants to do.

Any feedback is much appreciated!

1- FP's may be out by then. You just never know.

8- That's awfully late an ADR in order to see #9 IllumiNations.
I'd try to move up the ADR by 30-60 minutes, or,
at least, arrive very early for your 8PM ADR.

Yes, you will get a ton done by lunch time if you show up early for EMH at Animal Kingdom. Early morning is supposed to be the best safari time, so don't put that off. Save the trails for last as they will never be crowded.

Also be aware that you may get completely drenched at Kali River Rapids, especially if your side of the boat goes directly under the falls. If you are wearing cotton tops and/ or denim shorts, they won't dry for days (well, maybe the T-shirt). It's no fun sitting in air-conditioned shows and restaurants with wet, stinky clothing.

Getting to EP after lunch is fine with the exception of Soarin'. You may be stuck with standby, depending on what time you arrive. FP's are often gone before lunch, even on a day with moderate attendance.

1. Kilimanjaro, obtain FP's for later if necessary if animals aren't out yetDont get fastpasses, just do the stand by
2. Pangani forest trail
3. Khali Rapids, or get FP's for later depending on wait time This will probably be the best ride to fast pass, if you fastpass it, you will most likely not get a dinosaur fastpass.
4. Single rider at EE, while other runs and grabs FP's for Dinosaur You won't be able to get a dinosaur fastpass
5. See flights of Wonder or walk Asian trial (depending on show time)
6. Early lunch Yak and Yeti walk up Unless you really want to eat here, you could get by with a late lunch in your favorite country in EPCOT
7. See It's tough to be a Bug
8. Dinosaur using FP
9. Finish any of the previous that didn't get done using FP's
10. Tree of life Trials
11. Oasis

hoping to be at Epcot between 1-2 using Disney buses...

1. Obtain Soarin FP's Fastpasses might be out as others have said, if they are go at later in the day in standby
2. Ride Living with the Land
3. Honey I Shrunk the Audience
4. World Showcase (start at Canada, end at Mexico, while enjoying some adult beverages along the way)
5. Spaceship Earth

Thanks for your help everyone. Here's my revised plan. The times after each # indicate when I think we should be done with that activity. Any other feedback would be great!

Animal Kingdom. Rope drop at 8:00
1) Obtain Khali Rapids FP's, or do we obtain Bugs Life FP. Pro Khali, be returning early so might not be that busy then, but line can get really long if its hot. Pro Bugs: line ever more than 30 min? but FP doesnt get to 'front.' UG says Khali light before 10:30, Bug's peak 11-4. Maybe do this pending weather. Hot=get Khali FP's
2) Ride Kilimanjaro - 9:00
3) Walk Pangani Forrest Trail - 9:25
4) Ride Khali Rapids, else skip to #5 if FP not ready - 9:50
5) Single Rider line at Everest, other obtains Dinosaur FP's - 10:15
6) See Flights of Wonder if within 20 minutes, or Walk Asian Trial - 11:15
7) Lunch at Yak and Yeti - 11:45. Get Honey Chicken
8) Ride It's Tough to be a Bug - 12:25
9) Ride Dinosaur - 12:55
10) Walk Tree of Life Trails - 1:15
11) Walk Oasis - 1:25
-Leave Animal Kingdom
-Epcot. 1:30. All depends on time of Soarin FP's
1) Obtain Soarin FP's - 2. *could do Future World then, but UG says wait, crows lighter later*
2) World Showcase - 5:20
3) Spaceship Earth - 5:45
4) Honey I Shrunk the Audience - 6:10
5) The Seas - 6:35
6) Ride Soarin - 7:05
8) Dinner at San Angel Inn at 7:30

First of all, I don't think Kali is a morning EMH attraction. 2nd of all Bug doesn't have FP anymore.
