Is it wise to count on a 4th FP for this or is that just a bad idea? I already have ADR's set for this day that I don't want to change so getting a dining plan that includes the FP isn't an option for us. We are going here on Friday May 12th and per touring plans the crowd level will be a 5.

If you want a RoL FP, you'd need to rearrange your FPs now and book it if available. Without a FP, you'll be waiting in Standby well before showtime.

I am not able to book FP until Sunday this is why I am asking as I am trying to decide on what to select. Thanks!

I wasn't sure if you were already booked. Book all your FPs according to priority so FEA or RoL should be your first ones booked. Good luck!

I always like to try EVERYTHING at least once and usually I will try things again on a future trip if it was just okay on a previous trip. So with that being said......for those that have been to this what do you think?? I know Jungle Book got poor reviews but is this better? Right now I have an adr at Tuskar House in order to get special seating for it. Our trip is mid June. I would love to hear reviews or feel free to move this to an appropriate thread. Thanks

Merged you to the Official thread where @WDWFantasmicFan keeps everything updated in Post 1. There are reviews in the most recent pages.

If we do the dining packages to secure a good seat are we paying a lot more than if we just booked a regular adr and were not seeing the show?

If you book Tiffins, it's well worth it. Apps are $12-14 and entrees can be in the $50 range. A meal at Tiffins is excellent!

We were just there on Tuesday of this week. I was lucky and was able to book FP the day before. Couldn't get them earlier in the week. We were able to enter at 6:15 and had our choice of Seats. They also let people in the standby section that early as well. We didn't mind going early because I wasn't sure how crowded it would be. Enjoyed it very Much!

Hi!
We will be going to Animal Kingdom the week before Easter this April. Should we get a FP+ for ROL or just try to do standby? We definitely want to do the first show and then leave. How bad has the standby lines been? I was give up my Kali River Rapids FP+ for it. Not sure what to do? If I change my mind last minute are there usually same day Kali Rapids FP+ available?
Thank you

there were people lining up 2or3 hours before the show when I was down there last month just to give you an idea I would try to FP it if you can

I would definitely give up Kali for ROL fp+. You can hit Kali early in the day with little wait but you can guarantee a long standby wait for ROL. It's still new and you're going during spring break - if you want to see rivers of light in the first show you should try to get the fastpasses as soon as possible.

Standby for ROL has been brutal. When I had a FP for it a few days ago ppl were lined up for standby about 2.5 hours before showtime. 1 hour before show it looked like standby was completely filled.

Usually there isn't same day fps for Kali. But if you want to see RoL I'd FP that instead

I booked a Tiffins dining package for ROL. I have a FP+ for Expedition Everest a half hour before my dining reservation begins. How long will it take to walk from EE to Tiffins and what would be the route I would want to take if I keep the dining reservation? (I also have a FP+ for ROL that night so still trying to decide which would be better to keep.)

I'd definitely recommend FP or a dining package. Standby has been crazy lately.

Tomorrow we can book ADRs for our Sept trip. I know the Rivers of Light dining packages are only through June... what would you recommend? I don't want to go to Tuskers unless we're getting the dining package.

It will likely be free dining during our trip and it's the F&W Festival, so I'm thinking we need to book SOMETHING as a backup just in case we can't get the dining package once they finally open up. Thoughts?

I don't know if it's just me, but I see the section in Post #1 that says Reviews, but I don't see a link with the reviews? Trying to figure out what time our party of 3 needs to arrive w/ a FP for the 8:45 Show. Is 8:05 (the Window is 8:05- 8:30) too late? Thanks!

 

[DisneyDoc5]

any guesses as to when they will release summer packages?

8pm for 8:45 show will be fine.
