River of Lights- how will it affect AK FP?

[petitephlox]

Hi guys, we're going to AK at the end of october with our dd4. Because of her age, we'll forego EE and dinosaur, and perhaps kali rr as well. I was planning on using FP for character outpost (meet mickey/minnie), safari, and nemo musical. But River of Lights will be open- should I FP that instead? I'd love to do safari 2x if possible, but no clue how to do that without FP 2x.
Do any of the other character meets need a FP? (Baloo/louie/chipmunks)?
If DH wants to ride EE on his own, could he make a beeline at RD while we do character outpost- or should he FP it?
Thanks in advance!

It's impossible to say at this point. Until it opens, it's not going to be known if FP will be offered (although given that IllumiNations, Wishes, MSEP, and Fantasmic! offer it, it's reasonable to assume it will.) It could also be that like IllumiNations, it's not really needed, or like Fantasmic!, it's easy to get as a 4th or even 5th or 6th. The safari shouldn't be hard to do twice if you do it at rope drop without FP, then do it with later.

None of the other character meets offer FP.

EE has a single rider line, so he should be fine doing that without FP.

Thanks! Great advice. We have some time before our trip to see how RofL plays out, hoping we can get it as a 4th FP.

As siskaren said, don't waste a FP on EE if only your husband wants to ride. It's the most efficient single rider line on property, or at least right up there with Test Track. I think that's because it's a little "hidden", to the side, so many people don't realize it is there.
