A friend and I have suddenly decided to do the 3 day/3 park (HS, AK, Epcot) ticket deal in early Feb. I have Pop booked for Wed-Sat.
My flight lands at 9am. My plan is not to check bags and take Mears Connect. Is it reasonable for me to be in the park by noon?
My friend's flight lands at 1:30pm. Her plan is to check bags and rent a car. Is it reasonable for her to be in the park by 3:30pm? I'm going to suggest she drive directly to the park from the airport instead of dropping off bags at Pop to save time.
I'm debating which park to choose for arrival day. Feb hours haven't been released yet so I'm guessing AK will close at 6pm and HS will close at 9pm with one showing of Fantasmic. My initial thought was to choose HS for arrival day because the park hours will be longer than AK but my friend hasn't seen galaxy's edge/toy story land yet (I've been already and really just want to see Fantasmic) and I'm wondering if we should spend a full day instead. There's nothing new to her in AK but I missed the Asia section last time due to food poisoning.
On the other hand, we want to do a character meal and Tusker House during a full animal kingdom day seems like a good option. Plus we could slow down and enjoy Pandora at night and see the new zootopia show.
I'm not sure if we want to buy LL for HS...if we both have bad flight delays, is it likely that we could get the LL refunded? Priorities would be MMRR, TSM, smuggler's run. Attempt single rider for RIse.
Similarly, I don't know how risky it would be to book a fantastmic dining package in case of flight delays.
If we chose HS for arrival day and no LL, is it reasonable to do last showing of little mermaid at 4:30, ride MMRR (5-6pm), single rider smuggler's run (6-6:30), single rider Rise or standby TSM (6:30-8pm), get dinner to go (8-8:30) while waiting for fantasmic (assuming 9:30 showing and that we have to arrive 1 hour before for a decent seat)?
If we chose AK for arrival day and no LL, is it reasonable to do kilimanjaro safari at 4:30 (I think they usually close before 5?) and then jump in line for FoP right before close? I would do all the asia stuff (ride everest and do the animal trails) before my friend arrives.
