No way is Navi a 17-minute walk from FoP. More like 5 minutes, if that.
Just to be clear, FoP is an ILL$ (Individual
Lightning Lane), not a
Genie+ attraction, so that's a separate fee from G+. There's usually a long line for FoP, so if you can afford it, ILL$ is worth it here.
We sometimes do DAK like this:
pre-1) At 7 a.m., we book an ILL$ for FoP for late afternoon.
1) Safari--sometimes we book G+ for this and sometimes not. We love doing it first thing because sometimes we can do it twice in a row. It's always different and always, for us, worth doing more than once a day. Note that KS doesn't open when the park opens for early entry and it closes before the park closes. The ride is always different because the animals do what they want.
(2) Gorilla Falls area--a walking attraction after the safari. Well worth it if you love animals.
(3) This is a toss-up. Sometimes it's lunchtime by then and we go to Yak & Yeti for lunch. If not, we might do Kali River Rapids at this point--usually a G+ isn't necessary here, although in the summer it might be. Not sure. We don't go in the summer!
(4) Now for sure it's lunchtime.
(5) If we haven't been in a while we'll do the Maharajah Jungle Trek, also a walking attraction. Great to see the tigers and bats (love the bats) and some cool birds. We don't do Expedition Everest (EE), but now would be a good time for that. If you have G+, you would've made your EE G+ after you tapped in on the safari.
(6) Dinoland. If you have G+, you can make your Dino G+ after you get off EE. Your teens may or may not like Dino. It's not really a thrill ride but it is dramatic. After you tap into Dino, make your G+ for Navi. The rest of Dinoland? Unless your kids like playing county fair-type games (and you have to pay for these), then there's probably nothing else there for them or you except maybe dessert.
(7) Pandora. If it's worked out perfectly, then the ILL$ for FoP is before the G+ for Navi. We love Navi, but your teens might think it's a huge bore. Depends. Navi is about the mood, not the thrill. There is zero thrill altho the animatronic of the shaman at the end is pretty amazing.
There is a lot of walking involved, especially if you do both the gorilla area and the jungle trek.
People who love EE do that first thing in the morning, at early entry, since most people at that time are headed to Pandora to ride FoP, which, btw, gets an immediately huge, long line and you'd be near the back of it unless you were at the front of the pack and ran like crazy when they let people in.
If you would really enjoy Expedition Everest, then you could do that first and perhaps get to ride it more than once without much of a line.
HTH.
