OFFICIAL New Animal Kingdom Experiences UPDATE 5/28: Reports from first night in Post #2

[ArielSRL]

Interesting. I was putting priority on the dining package, the show, and KS. Maybe I need to read reviews on KS before I make that determination.

I wanted to get in EE and KS in there somewhere, but with the hour FP+ time slot and the 9 pm show, I just can't find a way to get all of that in. I also want to see the other nighttime entertainment.

We have two AK days for our July trip. May have to add in a third night to get everything in (if we want to experience all three rides at night).

I have KS scheduled for 7:25-8:25 to accommodate an 8:25-8:45 (possible) JB FP but I may not need it if I book the dining pkg. I'm going to watch for any nighttime KS reviews before June 7th and if there has been any improvements, I'll see if I can adjust.

I'm going to be so bummed if it stops on 9/5. We will be at AK just two days later! But hopefully that means they may have ROL up. If not, I'm sure they'll extend JB. Just wish I could have it finalized tomorrow.

Sorry if this has been discussed but does anyone know how this is going to work with the dining plan? Is Tusker House still going to be 1 credit or will they bump it up to 2?

Sorry for the cross-post with the Lounge thread. I'm helping coordinate a group.

Is the Jungle Book dining package a pre-paid ADR? Or use credit card for hold and pay when you get there type of ADR?
Thanks!

F! packages are just a CC hold. Imagine this will be the same.

So whats easier to get tomorrow. Fast pass, or dining? Considering its two shows, fast pass might not be so hard to get..

This is messing with my plans. Do I cancel out all fast passes I made that day at another park, and try to see what happens trying to get an AK fast pass.. Or do I just keep them and get the dining package?

Also, can someone tell me how I can look at another parks fast passes without getting rid of my current parks one, same day.

Well you can try for a package at 6am. FP may not release until 7am.

Do we know the show times yet for Jungle Book?

9 & 10:30pm

We currently have a 4:35-5:35 Kali, 6:30-7:30 EE and 9:30-10:30 safari. DH and DS agreed that we should keep Kali as we like it but don't feel it's worth the standby wait & we can single rider EE - so I'm going to try to switch our EE FP to the JB show. Guessing I will have to do the 9:00 show since the 10:30 show will overlap with our safari FP and it probably won't let me book that one. So complicated now to change things. If I can't get the 9:00 FP then I guess I'll have to try a Tusker House ADR. OY!!!

Yes, 1 TS credit, Tiffins will be 2 credits.

Go through the process of booking a new FP. Ignore the prompts that you will be replacing FP in another park. You won't lose your existing FP selections until you finalize one in the new park.

So what are the top AK FP priorities now? I assume Jungle Book fireworks will be popular, what else is now most recommended for FP? It's been a long time since we've been there. I can't find the main FP suggestion thread either, can anyone direct me to that?

JB is not a fireworks show, just to be clear. Though not really sure what it will involve.

Here's the FP thread:

The thread is now a sub-forum for FP+ under Theme Parks and Attractions Strategies. It will be at the top of the forum. Probably Expedition Everest and Kilimanjaro Safari. Although EE has a single rider line. Depending upon the time of day, Kali Rapids could be good too. Most of the water rides are not as busy in the morning, but I don't know about after dark.

Does anybody know what time the FP window will be for the 10:30 show? I need to make sure it doesn't overlap my other FP.

So just for fun, I tried to book the dining package just to see if by chance anything would open up at midnight. No luck. No luck with FPs either.

I thought there was an 8:45 jungle book show?

These are the times that show online (Disney website) for the day we will be at AK in early June. I just can't do an ADR or FP+ yet.
