We have one day in AK. I got lucky (very lucky!) to get FoP FPs after they extended the park hours from 7:30p-8:30p. Also have a RoL FP at 6:45p for a 7:15p show.

I know it's tight, but what's the chance we can catch the Tree of Awakenings at 6:50p, get to RoL on time, back to use our FoP FP and possibly be at Na'vi river right before 8:30p?

Or

We could just head to RoL at 6:45p, hope to catch the Tree of Awakenings on the way use to our FoP FP and just maybe squeak into Na'vi River by 8:30p.

Watcha think? :chat::scratchin:scratchin:scratchin:crowded:
 
I don't know... I've never stayed long enough to see any of AK nighttime attractions so I can't offer any advice on that end but looking at what you're suggesting, that feels like a lot to cram in a short period of time.

If RoL is a must do, I'd go with plan #2.

Are you doing rope drop that morning? We got there about 15-20 minutes before the park opened and got on Na'vi River within 15 minutes. That might be a better option than trying to cram it all at the end of the day.
 
Second option.

For your RoL FP, I'd want to be at the arena by 6:45 at the very latest. I'd recommend being there by 6:15/6:30. If you watch the Tree at 6:50, by the time you get to the RoL arena you might not have a seat.

Much better to get to RoL early to get your seat, check out the tree of life awakening on the way to Pandora, use your FoP FP, then ride River journey at park close

We're going there after lunch. Other than that we only plan on the Safari (have a FP at 2:30p), the Lion King at 4p and to see some animals. I'm afraid it will be too cold for Kali and no way my son will do EE, kind of over Dinosaur but may give it a shot if the line isn't very long. We could try to get on Na'vi earlier, I've just read the line goes down right before closing.
