It's played constantly during most shows on Hulu, too, regardless of which network the show is from. DD keeps asked to go see it, and has no idea that we're going in September. It's killing me to keep quiet!

I got FP for the boat ride this morning (60 day for 5/27) the flight ride was booked out.
We also have ROL w/ our dining so all in all I say we won out.

If sunset is 8:15 what's a good time for night safari?
Dusk or after dark?

I switched some stuff around (I had messed up and forgot that Character Outpost closed at 7:30 so I had to move that up to the morning) and am doing FotLK at 11am. And I switched lunch and Nemo so I am not doing back to back shows, so Nemo at 1pm now. Hopefully they don't take any more show times away before June.

I think I figured it out. We are going to see flights of wonder the second day and see lion king at noon. Now the tricky thing is we have ROL Tuskegee house at 10:35. I feel like noon is kinda tight there. But... we will try to check in early, pay early and see how it pans out. I'm going to FP lion king since we will be cutting it close.

I saw that too ... trying to remember if the push was this strong for when New Fantasy Land opened. Definitely seems like the marketing blitz is full on!

I think the best is to try so that you are on the ride at actual sunset / just after. It seems like right around sunset the animals are very active but once it gets really dark it is hard to see them at times

Hehehe I'd have a hard time keeping a poker face through the "Aww, maybe next year kiddo!"

Ok just made the rest of my FP!
Assuming DS is up for a park on arrival night we will have THREE AK evenings!
Including 2 Pandora boat rides, 2 sunset safaris, 2 RoL, and 1 Pandora FoP and Everest for me!

just curious do you typically do 3 Ak days during your past trip?
reason i ask is im wondering how the new additions will affect touring plans
thanks

Fastpasses went very quickly this morning. I logged on before 7am and just kept hitting back till 5/27 popped up. FoP was already gone. Na'vi was still available starting at 415pm. By the time I selected my time and hit continue on same day. hit next as party the same, the next time slot for Na'vi was showing after 6pm.. The second RoL show was still available this morning too. Hope that helps for anyone still waiting for their booking windows to open

Nope.
We have a 9 day in early May trip with only 1 AK day. This is a special trip just for AK!
I assume most people will do at least 2 half AK days after Pandora.

Honestly, there is no good time for the night safari. I had very high hopes for it but it is a massive fail. I'd time it so you are done by dusk. It's a waste of your time at night. I've given it many tries, no more.

Definitely dusk.

this is what im worried about now that the 60 day window is open for guest arriving on may 27 i think these FP will go quickly
my FP day is April 5th i hope they re still available

you want to be getting on the truck about dusk (fp+ that takes about 10 minutes). It's the best chance for the animals to be moving around, some for proteciton and some getting ready to hunt. any earlier and they are all just lumps, any later and you can't see a damn thing it's too dark.

It's really hard to time it, just do it in the sunlight and enjoy the animals you can see.

Dusk.

We've done the safari at all different times. Dusk was our favorite. Their "sunset" looked more convincing at dusk.

As for total darkness, it depends on your guide. We had two really bad night time safaris and one most excellent. The difference was the guide knowing how to make best use of the available truck light.
My pictures all got bad during the dark safaris. You may not use flash photography.

How is Kali after dark?

 

[lovethattink]

Has anyone given thought about what might happen if Pandora reaches capacity?
