Need AK help

[caroline1851]

So we're going to AK on our day of arrival so won't get there until about noon. THis is the only day we will be there and they close at 5. We want to do: Kali River, It's Tough to be a Bug, KS and Dinosaur. Ideally, Dinosaur multiple times because it's our favorite favorite ride. What FP should i get? What should our touring plan be? HELP!

If I am reading your dates right, you are going this coming June. If so getting a FP for Kali is a high priority. The standby lines in warmer times can hit 70 -80 minutes easily. With the attractions you have listed, I would book The Safari and Dinosaur also. Set your times early as possible so you have a chance to get other fastpasses. It may not work since the park closes early. Tough to be a Bug will be easier to get in and is not really a good use for a FP.

I would start wit the Safari. I would probably do Kali next. Leave Dinosaur to last. You can hop over to Bug when want a break from Dinosaur. The standby lines for Dino should start dropping toward park closing.

I would watch for a park closing extension unless they have a special event planned.

Ok now my son wants to ride EE....how do I work that in since I can only get 3 fp....and only have around 5 hours. this is tricky.

Depends on the ages of your son. Can you use single rider?

If not I would Fp+ KS, KRR, and EE. My reasoning being that

1. Better chance of late day 4th FP availability of Dino then the other 3
2. If you do have to wait standby, Dino line is inside and air conditioned, the other 3 waits are outside.

How old do you need to be for single rider? He'll be 13 when we go. Do all rides have that?

13 is plenty old to rider single rider. My 11 yo has been using SR. line for a few years. I think the official age limit is 7, but I'm not 100% sure.

Rides with single rider lines are EE, Test Track and Rockin Roller Coaster.
