We are headed to the AK on Sept 16 - supposed to be a level 2/3 day. We will problly get there closer to 10am...maybe 9:45ish.

I have the following fastpasses:

Safari - 9:40 - 10
EE - 11:40 - 12:40
Dino - 3:10 - 4:10

How would you schedule your day? Should I change any FP's? We want to hit all the high points including KRR (hopefully much later in the day) and all 3 shows - FOTLK, Nemo and Birds. Probally do Pizzafari or Flame Tree for lunch. Unfortunatly I do not think we will time to slowly stroll along the trails. My 2 boys (ages 9 and 11) will be with us and are in the "lets get to the ride" phase. :moped:

At first glance, this sounds fine! What else are you trying to work in that you're concerned about? Maybe fit in a show... Flights of Wonder, Lion King, or Nemo.

Safari in the morning, then you have an hour to walk over to EE, maybe do a trail along the way, then time for lunch and Kali, and then Dinoland? Looks like you'd hit Kali on the way to or from EE... without a FP to that it can have a wait.

So personally, I would ditch the Dinosaur FP+. Get Kali at the slot you want. Dino you'll be able to ride almost walk-on by 3-4pm.

Do the Pangani forest trail straight after the safari, the safari exit pushes you into the trail anyway. I would then do EE (maybe even move the FP earlier if you can), lunch then a show. If you want to ride Kali that might be a better use of a FP, at least Dinosaur queue is in aircon!

I am trying to avoid too much criss crossing - It my boys first visit so was planning on doing the safrai first becasue I have been told the earlier the better - then was going to make my way through the park towards the right. I was hoping to get in just about everything including the train/consevation station/Rafiki area. Then go on over to Aisa and hit EE and Flights of wonder. Not sure about the timing of KRR - might skip it to later in the day so we are not sloshing around the park :) Is there anything you woulkd skip?

Anyway - after that - lunch and its tough to be a bug. then Dinoland to do all the rides and Nemo if possible (might have to skip this show)

Finally, there is a FOTLK at 4pm and at 5pm - this is that last thing we would do before leaving the park.

Do you think I will have enough time...or is this even doable? IF we have time I would also add in Nemo and circle back for KRR. I would also tag on Camp Minnie Mickey if we have any time left - my boys would not miss the Minnie/Mickey but I would love the pics!

I don't even know if you need a FP for the safari if you're going to be there by 9:40am. The lines should be well under 30 minutes for that early in the morning in September.

I'd save that FP for one of the popular shows like Lion King.
