How long will it take to see these at AK?

[PaulaMurf]

This is the first time we will be seeing any shows at AK - so - can anyone help me - we are going in January - is it possible to see the following shows in one morning (say from 9am - 1pm) or do they not run that frequently in January?

We want to try and see the following

Tarzan Rocks!
Its Tough to be a Bug
Flights of Wonder
Kilamajro Safari
Pocahontas and her forest friends
Lion King

Is there someplace where I can find out what times they will be going on in January?

TIA

Steves site is great, but it does not have Jan times yet.

Not sure if the times are similar now as to what they will be then, but you can get an idea here.

It's virtually impossible to see all of the shows and attractions you have listed in only 4 hours. Besides the problem of show schedules, for instance the first Flights of Wonder is usually not until 10:30 am, you also have the length of the shows and the wait times to consider. These are the approx. lengths of each show/attraction, not including wait times:
Lion King-25 min.
Pocahontas-17-20 min.
Tarzan Rocks-35 min.
Flights of Wonder-30 min.
It's Tough to Be a Bug-15 min.
Kilimanjaro Safaris-20 min.
Even if you didn't have to wait for each show and they were all in the same place, that's about 150 minutes right there. If you allow 30 minutes for traveling and waiting in line between each show, which is not enough in some cases, that adds another 150 minutes for a total of 5 hours. You have only allocated 4 hours. Even if you can take advantage of early entry, only 2 of the attractions are open early and the shows still start later in the morning. You're going to need more time, or enjoy less of the park. Good luck!

Well, if you take the current times as a guide, about the best you could do today for the 4 shows that have only periodic showings would be:

9:45 - Lion King (lasts for 30 minutes)
10:25 - Pocohontas (lasts for 17 minutes, we've managed to do this, hustling out of LK and getting one of the last 20 or so seats in the nearby Pocohontas show, but it's very tight)
12:00 - Tarzan Rocks (lasts for 35 minutes)
1:00 - Flights of Wonder (lasts for 30 minutes).

To fit in the Kilimanjaro Safaris and ITTBAB, you'd have to hustle to one of them directly at opening (probably ITTBAB), before jogging over to Lion King, and fit in the other one after Pocohontas, before zipping over to Tarzan Rocks (although the Safaris may be crowded by that time). So, if your party is fast moving you might possibly complete it all by 1:30. If you could by any chance go on an early entry day, you might be just a little more relaxed, though.

Of course, show times in January will not necessarily be the same, but you might just be able to squeeze it in.

Good Luck!
