AK FP+ for half days and full day

[Meech Loves Mickey]

Need some help with my AK FP+ for our trip in July.

We are staying at AKL for 3 nights and are planning 1 full day at AK and approx 2 half days. It will be me, DH, and our two boys ages 6 and 8.

The first day we arrive, we check into AKL late morning and will head to AK after that.
My FP+ plan for the day:
Kilimanjaro Safari (is it worth it to book this late in the day?)
Kali River
split up - EE for DH and older DS. Tri-Spin for me and younger DS.


For our full day at AK we will arrive at RD for AM EMH.
Head to Safari first thing. Ride twice if possible.
FP+ EE for me and older DS, probably ITTBAB for DH and younger DS
FP+ Kali River
FP+ FOTLK
Lunch ADR at Tusker House
Then I will try to add on more FP+ as soon as we clear the turnstiles for FOTLK.
Possibly add the Nemo show and then spend some time in Dinoland for my youngest
and maybe add FP+ for Dinosaur for my oldest.
Somewhere in here, we need to go to the Conservation Station for my youngest. He loves to see the animals up close! We will try to fit in the Jungle Trek and the Forest Exploration thing too.


Our last day, we are planning on relaxing at the resort and spending time at the pool, but may go over in the afternoon for a couple of hours. I'm thinking I may FP+ a character meet and greet or two if possible for this afternoon.


Please critique and add some suggestions!!

Keep in mind that we are hoping to get a dining package and/or FP+ for RoL if it ever opens up! I will be keeping a close eye on this and will take whatever I can get when the time comes!

TIA!

1. Yes. Great in the afternoon or later.
2. Do Kali last in the day..
3. OR-I'd ride EE first (maybe twice) while others are walking to Safari (they would wait for EE riders to get to Safari.)
4. If you have not seen ITtBaB, make sure that it's suitable for the young child. (It terrifies some.)
5. Do Kali last in the day.
6. Zero need for FP. Zero.
7. Yes, Nemo FP is a good use.
8. Yup.

We always do Kali in our last hour. Often crowds are already low as many have already ended their day at AK so multiple rides are often possible plus you're going to wet and we care less about that when we're just heading back to the hotel in a bit anyway.

If we hit EE first thing at AM EMH, you think we can get thru twice with minimal wait? or once at the very least? I don't want the other 2 who are not going on EE to have to wait a ton, then have the Safari line get long and we all have to wait in that.

Also, how old do you have to be for the single rider line for EE? Will my 8 yo be able to go thru it?


I will keep that in mind about Kali. Good to know you can score multiple rides at the end of the day. See, as long as the weather is hot, I've never minded getting soaked by Kali in the middle of the day, it always cools me down! And you dry fairly quickly in the sun.
