We have ADR for TH before the park opens at 8:10am, does anyone know if Wilderness Explorers will be open yet so we can get the map? Also will photo pass cast members be out?

I don't think they (WE) will be, but I could be wrong. Photo Pass I'm really not sure.

Neither one will be open until the park is officially. By having an early ADR you have access to walk to the restaurant but none of the shops, attractions, or photopass will be open.

Wilderness Explorers won't "open" until 9:00 AM.

I haven't done a pre-park ADR at DAK,but for pre-park ADRs at Magic Kingdom,PhotoPass is always available on Main Street USA for "Cinderella Castle pics".

My "guess" is that DAK has PhotoPass available in the Tree of Life area for pre-Park ADR Guests.

We had an 8:00 am ADR at Tusker House last week. There were no photopass photographers out at that time. They are out early at Magic Kingdom, but were not at Animal Kingdom when we were there.

Thanks.

The other day when were there for Park Opening,PhotoPass was out when they let us into The Oasis/Discovery island "area" at 8:35 AM.

They must wait until then to start.

Last year in Sept, Wilderness Explorers wasn't available until 10AM. I don't know if that has changed? I thought my kids would love it, but it was our last park day, and they just pooped out. We're looking forward to doing it next time!

Um. According to the schedule you included the park opens at 9:00 daily, but WE opens at 10:00 AM.

We just did this Monday- we are still here at Disney. They don't start until 10. But there are several areas you can start the program so you don't need to go back to the first station if you are already deep in the park. My DD 8 loved this and was able to collect 8 + badges on our only day at Animal Kingdom!
