Lion King and Nemo at AK, is this doable?

[Daniela Rose]

12pm Lion King
1pm Nemo

Doable? I can fast pass one since we're not doing any of the big attractions. Thinking of this as our AK day. Feedback?

Arrive around 9/930
Kilimanjaro safari
1025am tusker house
12pm lion king
1pm Nemo
2-3pm na'vi river fp

Which would you fp? Is this doable? It's me, dh, 2yo and 4yo.

Yes, it's doable, but you may not get the best seat at Nemo. Lion King is a 30 minute show, then you need to leave the theater and head to Nemo. Maybe try to get an end seat at Lion King, so you have an easier exit.

We did both on the same day last week, but they weren't back to back (one hour separation). We actually showed up last minute for Lion King, which turned out to be awesome. CM escorted us to a front row reserved seat. We were right in front of the performers. In fact, they picked me to do the warthog call, and then picked the kids to run around in the parade at the end.

I would FP+ Nemo. We've FP+ both and I found no advantage to the Lion King FP+. Plus you'll have some time on your hands after TH to stand in line for Lion King.

How long do you think TH will take us?

60+ minutes.

If you're getting to the park at 9, why not plan on doing Navi river first thing? We did it that way without a fp and could have gone a couple times but we fp'd fop for 9:30 and had to move on.

Oh that's a good idea. Is rope drop to pandora crazy though?

They did it in stages, so the biggest buildup was just on the bridge heading into Pandora. But everyone was going to fop, so we were free to walk around and do the river ride.

I think you should rethink doing Festival of the Lion King and Nemo back to back.
1. They are a long walk from each other.
2. You will almost certainly will need a restroom break between the two.
3. Lion King is 30 minute duration, Nemo is 35 minutes. That's a long time to ask a 2 year old and 4 year old to sit thru one right after the other.

Nemo is actually about 5-10 minutes longer than that.

@TinkerPan

Thank you. I did change it around actually. Now I'm thinking this.

1025am tusker house
1130 - 1230pm safari fp
1pm lion king
2-3 navi river fp
3-340pm nemo
Then leave ak

Editing if we can get to ak earlier before tusker house I'll try for the safari then and it will shift around the shows.

Funny I asked on another post if i could make a noon Lion King after 10:30 Tusker House and was told no. I like the answers to your post better

 

[TinkerPan]

OP. The adjusted plan sounds good. I hope you have an enjoyable time.

Oh that is funny. I changed it to the 1pm lion king though. What's your ak day like?
