FastPass+ advice please!

[LLM]

My 60 day booking window for the last week in August opens up this Wednesday. I am trying to put together what I *think* will be a good touring plan for my family but would love to hear some expert advice!

We have an 8 am reservation at Tusker House in Animal Kingdom. We plan on heading straight to Kilimanjaro Safaris immediately after breakfast. Is it necessary to use a FastPass + on the safari or are we safe to save it for something else? How long does a character breakfast normally last?

If I am lucky enough to score FastPass+ for Anna and Elsa, how long is the wait once you get in line?

I am considering using FastPass+ for Disney Junior and a couple of other shows. What is the benefit? Are you able to line up for a show minutes before show time and still get in? TIA.

Out of all the FP+s in all four parks that we used last week, the safari had the longest wait. I think about 15-20 minutes. Not too bad, but I have no idea how long the stand-by line was having to wait. That was our longest non-stand-by wait last week.

I got an A&E for last Sunday (the 15th) and I think I waited three minutes max and my time was 10:40-11:40. I went right at 10:40ish.

While I normally would suggest not using FPs for a show (especially one that runs continually like "Philharmagic" or "Muppets 4 D"), I would possibly consider it for the Disney Jr show, especially if your child really likes the characters.

Disney Junior is among the worst choices for FP for a couple of reasons. See the green link in my signature for more info.

We used a fp for the safari on Good Friday. We got on the same time as stand by line people that entered when we did, it was a waste....you never know.
