Hi, we will be doing EE at AK for the first time and I know that Kilimanjaro Safaris and Its Tough To Be A Bug are both open for the hour. I am wondering what order people normally do these on Early Entry? Every time I have ever been I went straight to the Kilimanjaro Safaris first, to avoid long lines. But, on EE can you do ITTBAB first and then head to KS with out waiting in line? If it helps, this will be in mid May.

Thanks for the help!!!
 
I've not done this because EE wasn't available at AK during our past trips. However, for our upcoming trip, I plan to do the Safari first. Lines at other parks seem to grow with time.
 
We used the extra hour to ride the safari first. The crowds were there early, I don't think I'd wait from what I saw (mid Feb) no matter what time the park opens. Unlike the other parks, where there are a few rides that people head off to, the safari is the only huge draw. It is widely known to be best first thing in the morning so most head right to it.

Back before the extra hour, we'd arrive at opening and dash back to the safari with no wait. This time we arrived a few minutes after the opening for the extra hour and we had a 10 minute wait.
