Lion King and Tough to be a bug (FP ??)

[mld413]

Do you generally need FP's for these? My plan is to grab a fp for Bug then head over to Kil Safari, then do the Pangani trail, use fp for Bug and then try to see Lion King. The guide book (which seems to have a lot of things WRONG ) that I have says the waits for these are not too long and don't require fp's. Any opinions, as I trust you all much more than the book !!
Thank you !!!!!

OOps..just realized Lion King doesn't have a fp option. Sorry..... so, how about ITTBAB??

I think it depends on when you are visiting. When we were there this past Nov/Dec, we didn't fastpass Tough to be a Bug; but on a previous trip in July, we definitely fastpassed it. It might be better to fastpass the Safari. Again, a lot of this depends on the time of year you are there.

When we were there in May '04. We FP KS and went to Rafiki's Planet watch while we waited. It was nice over there.

In Nov, DH beelined it for ITTBAB to grab fastpasses while I (and the kids) followed the moving mob to the KS (we were there for morning EMH). Well, the whole mob went to KS which had a decent line (I think 20 minutes or so) by the time we got there. DH shows up and says they weren't giving out FPs to ITTBAB today. So, quick change of plans, we grabbed FPs for KS and head to ITTBAB. ITTBAB had no line at all that early. So, everything worked out okay, and it was probably the better order. You may want to follow the same order - it worked out well, ITTBAB doesn't appear to be as popular as KS.
