AK Plan - TH to Nemo - will we make it?

[Marthasor]

We have an 11:35 am TH reservation and a 12:30 - 12:50 pm FP+ for Nemo, The Musical. Is this cutting it too close? I thought if we were out of TH by 12:30 pm, we would be ok?

It will take about 12-15 minutes to walk from Tusker House to Nemo's "Call of the Wild" theater.
(Just about as far apart as two walkable locations DAK can be.)

Be sure and ask for your meal's bill when you are first seated.
Then, settle up well before you are finished with the meal.
That way you'll be ready to scoot as soon as the last bite is chewed and the last character is hugged.

Awesome! Thanks so much!

I personally wouldn't schedule it that close. What happens if you aren't seated exactly at your reservation time and are 15 minutes late being seated....does that give you enough time to eat? I know we've been seated VERY late before (this summer we were 45 minutes late being seated at another buffet, H&V). What happens if the rotation of characters has just passed the table you are to be seated at when you arrive....are you okay with missing out on characters in order to make it to your Nemo FP on time? While it is conceivable to make it through your lunch and to the FP on time, you are also counting on a lot of things that are beyond your control.

If they look like they will miss that Nemo performance, it would be easy to just do walk-up standby for the next performance.

We are in a similar situation. A 10:40 Tusker House and thinking about making Nemo for the noon show. I opted to not schedule the FP+. If we get done in an hour, we can walk over and see if we get in. Great if we do, but I'm not going to stress missing it.

Our plan for the day is Safari first (FP+ starting at 9), FOTLK at 10, Tusker at 10:40. We have three under five with us, so anything we do after that and before naptime is gravy.

Really wanted to do Tusker for the food and not knock out meeting the big cheese at a character meal.

Yes, the next one is at 3 pm and I was thinking I might even be able to change the FP+ time on the fly if it looks like we'll miss the 1 pm and there is still availability for the 3 pm show. Just trying to get our must-do's done by around 2 pm as my DS is usually ready to call it quits by then!

I'm also really trying to avoid Safari to Nemo then back to Tusker and can't do Nemo first as the first show is at 11 am. These shows throw a wrench in AK planning that I don't find with the other parks!! And AK is SO big!

I find the same situation with all of the DHS shows.
