AK fast pass park strategy

[Flapdoodle]

I currently have fast passes for FOP 9:00 am
EE 10:00
Dinosaur 11:00
We will be going on an EMM day in May. My original thought was to rope drop KS before FOP but am wondering if I should try to get a fast pass for KS and do stand by for KS. Looking over the park map it seems we would be wasting time walking back and forth between the lands. We are all adults so se could use single ride lines. Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated.

I think I see the problem. Do you mean standby for Everest? If you have FOP covered, you can RD anything else fairly easily, but KS would rush your time in Africa and you'd probably want to return later.

My mistake. Yes I meant do stand by for EE. I am trying to limit zig zagging due to health issues with my daughter

The way those FPs are set up back to back basically forces you to run around the whole park and then go back to things you missed. If you're spending the whole day there, I would spread things out. If you're willing to do single rider for EE, I would get the Safari FP. If you're planning to see Festival of the Lion King, plan the KS FP so it makes sense with a convenient showtime.

Thank you. We can do single rider for EE. Have not thought about lion king show and you made a good point. I was so focused on attractions totally forgot to consider shows

Do you plan to do Navi? If so, I would RD that since your FOP FP is early. I would FP KS and either do single rider for EE or drop Dinosaur.

And I would definitely make time for FOTLK

You should be able to walk right on Navi river journey if you rope drop. We rope dropped FOP last June during EMH and were first in line, finished the ride, and walked right on Navi River Journey even though we had a fast pass.

Something I would note is we went to line up for KS after both of these and the ride was not open until 10:00am. I don't know if this is a summer thing or it's not open during EMH, but I would call to confirm this so you don't rope drop and end up not being able to get on. We finished with Pandora around 9:30am and walked to KS. We got in the standby line that was forming and were on the ride within 15 minutes.

I was surprised how much we got done before 10:30am just by rope dropping during EMH.

Thank you for all the suggestions. I really appreciate it. Will definitely check and make sure when KS opens.

Agree with RD NAvi. Then FP FoP.
Then I would head to the Safari standby. The line shouldn't be too long yet.
After Safari, you can walk to EE. If the line is short I would do standby or the single rider line. Then use your FP for a second ride.
You should have plenty of time to walk through the Maharajah Trek before heading to Dinosaur..
After lunch, you can see LoLK and Gorilla Falls.
