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

[Anal Annie]

I can't get ANYTHING to work right for June 5th. App doesn't show JB FP's and computer keeps crashing. I can't find dining or FP's either way and I just don't get how SOME were able to get in & do this & not ALL. I am sooooo frustrated with planning this entire trip. REALLLLLY, REALLLLLY over it.

On the date(s) I am trying to score a TH dining package it's showing no times available, but there are multiple regular ADR times showing as available

They pulled all remaining open ADRs a few weeks ago, I heard, but not sure what that inventory was?

 

[njprincess601]

No, I'm trying for that week too. Nothing but no tables available. I'm hoping it just hasn't loaded yet.

Thanks! If worse comes to worse, I'm just going to keep my Tusker House reservation as is and hope we can do stand by for Jungle Book. Our fastpasses are at Epcot that morning (thanks Soarin) so maybe I can get a fastpass from a day of cancellation. Either way, we'll be back in October so not all is lost.

I got a dining package for Tusker House on 6/25 but nothing was available past 10:45am. Am hoping they load more because my husband doesn't want breakfast.

giving up on JB lunch or dinner for Tusker House and accepting that I'll be having breakfast there. Two hours is enough torture for me. Good luck all!

I was able to modify my July 10th FP+ using my phone. Got JB first show, KS and EE for evening.

What time is your EE (after 7:30-8:30)?

 

[Chevy]

So you have spent an hour trying to get a Fastpass for an attraction with an hour long wait?

Break even on ones time.

Well when you put it like that I feel silly. Though my kids are happily playing in the next room and my DH is exercising, which means I haven't had to stand in the sweltering heat listening to any of them whine for the last hour. And I booked FP for both JB and FEA, so I'm still calling it a win

EE for evening? How late?

On the phone, I was able to book TH JB dining 9/2 at 10:50 am 1st showing, not what I want but I took it. 10;45 am is showing available. Nothing else. She said Tiffins was available on 9/1 for dinner. She couldn't do it at first, and had to "call someone else" for help. She was very helpful and her persistence was appreciated. Total call time 30 minutes waiting, 27 minutes once agent picked up the phone.

OMG I had to uninstall the app and install it again, got fp for JB on the 28th first show8:25 to 8:45

 

[blackpearl77]

Do we know how long the show is? To move my safari fp after the first show? The first show starts at 9. Is it a half hour or hour show?

My app was acting really wacky and I had updated it and everything so couldn't figure out the problem. Went into "my profile" and let it load me for a few minutes and that seemed to fix it. The jungle book show was still displaying at the bottom of the choices for me in ak. I hope it gets ironed out ASAP for you!

I have a FP for Jungle for the 9 show and kept my 9:30-10:30 safari

Ugghh..why did you have to put it in perspective like that? I got up at 530am to deal with this...2.5 hours ago! Of course I've been multi-tasking but still...

Same. I'd rather spend the hours waiting in my comfy bed than in the heat of July !

 

[momtotaryn]

FINALLY got in through my iPhone! Made my FP+ for both JB show and Soarin'! YAY! Don't need to change my TH ADR to a dining package after all! I can hang up now...and go to bed...it's almost 2:00am Hawaii time.

 

[ckelly14]

Brutal, but I'm finally done. Good luck all.

I did it just to laugh at my pathetic self.

We're all in the same sinking ship.

 

[njprincess601]

They're definitely still loading JB packages. Tiffins just opened for past 6pm. Still nothing for Tusker House which is driving me bananas.
