Do I actually need a Fastpass for Jungle Book?

Based on some of the reviews, it doesn't sound like the show is very well received. I will be there the end of July. Do I need to keep my FP, or should I switch it out for something else? We do want to see the show. Have people been turned away from the standby line lately?

We just used fastpass for the show tonight. We entered 45 minutes before the show started and got "good" seats. The theater did fill up by (maybe people hadn't read reviews of the show?) 20 minutes before the show. Last people entering were on the far sides.

My husband left a few minutes before it ended. As he walked towards Dinoland, he saw many people watching from the sidewalk. He thinks their view was as good as we had. Then again, he wasn't impressed with the show.

I do hope you enjoy the show!

Thanks for the input. I appreciate it.

I wonder if the second show is consistently reaching capacity-that may be the way to go.

Switch it out for something you know you would enjoy

Saw it Sunday - FP for 2nd show - but it definitely was Not needed. There were 2 full sections on the standby side that were totally empty.

My advice would be to FP Safari 8:30-9:30 range because the standby line did get back up to about 60 minutes after dark. Try to ride about 8:45ish and then head to the 2nd JB

(And then sneak out about 5 minutes early and get one more EE ride at 10:50ish!)
