Best AK strategy

[deanna2426]

We will only have about 5 hours at AK this trip. Can you tell me if we can squeeze the following attractions in and if so, what the best strategy would be.

It's tough to be a bug
Tarzan Rocks
Festival of the Lion King
Kali River Rapids
Kilamajaro Safari
The Boneyard
Characters in Camp Minnie Mickey

Thanks for any help!

I think you will be fine. We head straight to it's tough to be a bug(never more than a 5 min. wait when the park opens). From there over to Kilamajar safari. Here the wait will be a bit longer. After that you should be able to catch the 10 or 10:30 showing of Lion King. After Lion King straight to camp Minnie Mickey for autographs. Then grab a fast pass for Kali and head to Tarzan rocks. If the next show is not starting for a few minutes stop off at the boneyard. By the time the show ends your time for Kali should be upon you.

I would do safari first; then ITTBAB; then Lion King followed by autographs; then FP Kali; do Tarzan (depending on when it starts); do Kali. Fit in the Boneyard when you have time (either before or after Tarzan or Kali)

I agree, either do Safari first, or get a fast pass for it. Then checking the times, either head to ITTBAB or Festival of the Lion King.

We were there a few weeks ago and got the FP for Safari and headed over to see the first showing of Lion King. ITTBAB is usually not a long wait so don't waste a FP on it.

I would do the Rapids last because you may end up getting very wet.

Are you skipping the Dinosaur ride? It is excellent and I highly recommed it. I was fearful of it but after doing it, it now is one of my favorites.

Have a great time

Thanks ~ Great Post! Thanks too for all your replies, they truly helped us too!!

Thanks for your suggestions.

We've done Dinosaur on all of our other trips, but DS (now 5) has vowed NEVER to do it again. This is the only in WDW he is frightened of, so it isn't worth it for us to do it with limited time.

Thanks again!
