Attended 7 PM Lion King show at AK yesterday

[SqueakyMouse]

Loved the theming of this new area!!! Wish I'd taken photos inside the restrooms. (We all commented on how WDW is the only place where we feel the urge to photograph bathrooms!! ) Show seemed the same. Costumes seemed much brighter/more vibrant. Got FPs for the last show of the day and expected it to be packed but there were still PLENTY of seats remaining. I'll attempt to post some photos.

Your pics look great! I'm very excited about seeing the show in August!

I would also feel the urge for Rapunzel's bathrooms in MK, but I've never been in the Ladies one so I cannot attest for that. At least the outside, though!

Lol, I love WDW restrooms...

Funny how that kind of comments can get you weird looks when spoken alout...

Congrats! The show looks great and can't wait to see it in November!! Is one of my favorite shows.

Does the FP let you in before the stand by line to get priority seating or at the same time. Trying to decide if it would be a benefit to get FP for FotLK or Nemo?

Or are FP holders directed to a reserved area? Inquiring minds want to know....

Went to the first show today. No fast pass. Got in line 30 minutes before show time. They let fast pass people in 10 minutes before stand by. Seats were not full when show started. Seems like a wasted fast pass if you see the first show.

Did you notice if FP-holders were directed to a particular area or did they mingle together with the standby guests?

Looks great, thanks for the pictures.

Guests with FastPass+ reservations are let into the theatre first and have first choice of seating. Standby guests are then let into the theatre until capacity is reached.

FP had a separate entrance.

But the question is, is there a separate seating area for FP or do they get first pick at seats and then stand by fills in?

Again, read two posts up.

I would also feel the urge for Rapunzel's bathrooms in MK, but I've never been in the Ladies one so I cannot attest for that. At least the outside, though!

I've only been in the men's as well and I have taken pictures ... Frying pans all over the place, wanted posters for Flynn and the brothers. Love that bathroom. The outside is magnificent also. Pay attention and look for the King and Queen's lanterns among the other ones.

Pics look great!! Was SO sad that I was supposed to be there for opening day, but they announced opening as June 1st the DAY after we got home (29th) should've just stayed!

Can't wait to see the show again in Sept!

The ladies restroom is very cool looking. Lots of detail and quite big. I believe they had those fancy hand dryers too.
