JAMBO! The UN-official AKL Thread ~ UPDATED(short film/pg 8 & slideshow/pg 12) Part 2

[wendypooh]

Hello all, i have just posted this in "Theme park attractions and strategies" however I need an answer quickly becuase I'm just about to print out our itinerary for the final time, therefor i thought id post it here as well.

If the official park opening time for all the parks is 9am. What time at each of the parks does the opening of the park begin eg the awakening at AK and the Characters on the train at MK?

Well this may be my last post before leaving for the airport tomorrow. I cant wait to arrive at AKL on Friday. Thank you all for all your help and i will be sure to post a review when i get back.

Hey Gemma ~~

I don't know the answer, I'd guess you should be there about 8 or so......... just to make sure you don't miss it??? I do not know though, if no one answers before you leave, you can ask at the resort, they should know.

Also............. SEE YA SATURDAY!!!!!! Don't eat all the domes before me and Lisa get there!!! LOL Have a safe flight!!!

Last night I made our reservations for the Segway Tours of Epcot!

Has anyone here done the Segway tour?

I had the nicest CM on the phone, she congratulated Joe (my fiance) and I about 5 times.

At MK, for instance, if the EE time is 8AM (usually on Thursdays) then the train doesn't begin operation until 9AM....

I just read this in my PassPorter the other day and I am almost positive its 15 minutes before the park opens.

...all is welcome on our humble thread......

Well thanks.
At first when I was roundly ignored - I was like "well geesh, this must be a by invitation only party!"

But now I'm startn' ta feel da love.

Hi wallyb, you are doing the surise & sunset safari? cool.

No real advice other than let Don & Juanita book all your ADRs for you. Try not to eat anything before going on Safari from the lounge as breakfast at Tusker House is awesome and you want to be good and hungry.

Have fun planning, it won't be long now.

Yea. Paul my parntner (his B-day is while we're there) is animal NUTZ!
Me too. So we're doing as much of that stuff as possible.

Don has got us all hooked up with the ADRs. He was sooo great.
We're even going to the Food & Wine Festival / Party for the Senses.
Anyone ever done this? Is it fun?

I did PFTS last year and it was GREAT FUN!!! It's gotten a bit more expensive this year, but I'll bet it's still worth the $$$$.

You will sample so many wonderful foods, wines, and a beer or 2 from many different restaurants - some at WDW, many from restaurants around the country. My best "tip" to you is get in line early and when they open the doors and let everyone in, get a table (scout for a good location!) -- tables go quickly and once people get them, they're not willing to give them up!

Besides the food, there is entertainment (LeCirque performers).

Enjoy!!
