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

[Music City Mama]

I need to do the same. So you could drop MS (cancel it?), then get Soarin and KEEP test track?

I didn't "cancel", I changed it to Figment or something and then when I went to change TT, Soarin' was now miraculously visible and I could select it. Also, I went back and changed Figment back to MS!

Was just able to move our JB FP up to 9pm show on computer!!

Don't give up. You will get what you want. I changed my fast passes for animal kingdom 4 times in the past 30 mins. Had EE at 730, then JB, then dinosaur. Now I have JB , then Late night KS, then Dinosaur..

If EE opens, I will swap Dinosaur for it..

People are going to be giving up fast passes and dining all day today cause of the madness.

You will get lucky

Thanks for the positivity! I feel like I'm losing my mind a little bit LOL

Hopefully later today we will see those dining packages open and this will just all seem silly!

Forgot to note, agent said she could not transfer my existing TH ADR to Jungle Book package

I have been online since 6am and TH has shown no availability for dinner for 6/12. I wonder if they didn't hold back tables or are trying to push people toward Tiffins.

So Disney said what about Dinner at Tiffins? I said I think I remember the film and as I recall, I think we both kinda liked it and they said well that's the only thing we've got.

I got a FP for 9:55 pm on June 4th!

Can someone tell me where exactly the fastpass entrance is for the jungle book show? I am trying to do a sunset safari, but still make it in time for the 9pm JB show. not sure i can make it, but trying to figure out how long the walk will be between the two.

So you essentially replaced Tier 1 TT with Tier 1 Soarin?

Yes.

the fp entrance in across from Expedition Everest, so if you are coming from Africa just take the trail over to Asia (behind the Tree of Life) and you'll see it.

With the Tiffins packages and fastpasses, the theater really isn't that big.

Just think what the demand for the few Standby seats is going to look like!

 

[Music City Mama]

I thought it's been reported it will close so it doesn't interfere with the show. Has that info changed?

I think that was just speculation, nothing was ever confirmed. This is what I was worried about -- not being able to ride EE in the dark -- that was one of the big draws about nighttime at AK for me. Unfortunately, everything seems to have opened up for FP today that people were waiting on except this (post 7:30-8:30 FP on EE). I don't think it's looking good, but we'll see.

Once I downloaded the app for my iPad, I have reservations for everything. Two days of the Jungle Book in a row, May 29 and 30th. My family all works at different times so this way everyone can see the show. Also have Soaring booked for June 23rd and it should be the new show.

Isn't the theatre 5000?

 

[WEDWDW]

Isn't the theatre 5000?

Yes,but Asia is ALL FP+ leaving Dinoland to be "split" between Dining Packages and Standby.

 

[TeresaG]

Has anyone booked Tusker House passed breakfast yet?

 

[Axe]

So, I grabbed a second JB show Fast Pass because I couldn't get a dinner package. Now I was able to book the dinning package (Tiffins..grrr) for 6:55 but the Fast Pass site has crashed again...now I have both..

I've been playing around with different dates and I can't find anything later than 7:30 either.

 

[SaharanTea]

Were I a betting man, I'd say there are no Tusker House lunch or dinner Jungle Book package reservation released. All signs point to them pushing people to Tiffin's.

Once Tiffins is full (or full enough for them), will they open up Tusker House? I think they will since the empty spots exist in the system. The waiting game...
