Can this work?

[22Tink]

With the newly extended hours at AK I’m having to tweak some things. My 8am PPO Tusker House is now a 10:35am Tusker House but I have a 9:50am FP for FOP. I’ll definitely keep trying to modify FOP to earlier but if I can’t is it even realistic to think I can make these times work?

It's possible, but the tightness of that schedule would stress me out.
The first time we rode FoP with fastpasses, it took 45 minutes from entering the queue to exiting the ride. If you went as early as possible, so 9:45, and it took that long, you'd come out at 10:30 and still have to walk to Tusker House.

Yeah I thought it might be tight. I guess I can only hope to snag an earlier FOP FP if they release earlier ones for the extended park hours. Thanks for your input!

I'd probably live on the edge and be OK with that schedule. Agree with the PP, hit the 5-minute grace period on your FP window. Tusker is somewhat convenient if you take the 'back' exit out of Pandora. You 'should' be fine, but don't have a ton of room for error in terms of ride delays, an extended FP line, etc, in my opinion - all of which are things that 'could' happen.

In my two FoP experiences, that timing would’ve been fine.

That gives me some hope. If I can’t modify the FP I probably will still attempt it. I’m not familiar with Pandora but I’ll make sure to map it out using the back entrance. Thanks for the tip!

Thank you!

Isn't there some type of grace period for ADRs? Bet they'd seat you even if you checked in 10-15 minutes late. If it were me, I'd keep the FoP & the TH ADR and just get to TH as soon as I could afterwards. Good luck!

Thank you! I’m feeling much better about this plan now if I’m not able to change my FP time.

I think you can get this to work. You can also try to push your ADR back 10 minutes the day before. I've always been able to tweak my ADR's the week of my trip. I wouldn't move FoP....it's more difficult to get than TH

There is a grace period for your ADR and with the way Tusker has been seating guests, you can arrive at Tusker by 10:50 and still have a 15-20 minute wait before you are seated.

It’s best not to have your “after Tusker” FP scheduled before 12:30.

My FP after breakfast isn’t until 1:05 so hopefully that should be good. Thanks for confirming that there is a grace period at Tusker. I appreciate everyone’s input!

That will work. Tusker management is telling guests they should allow 2 hours for a meal there... they are seating guests without concern for meeting characters in a timely manner.

Thanks! I was hoping that with the extended AK morning hours they may add some earlier FOP but who knows?
