Tusker House am ADR of benefit?

[dorchrislen]

is there a benefit to getting an 8:10 ADR for Tusker with a 9am opening? Wondering if it will help us get to FoP for a reasonable SB wait on Fri, Jul 14th (offsite guests planning am FP+ for Navi since I assume there will by no FoP FP+ as all will be taken by onsite guests). Thanks!

The Pandora stuff is still a bit of a question mark, but my guess is that an 8:10 adr would give you no advantage, maybe a disadvantage. Tusker will most likely take more than an hour.

Good to know; thanks so much!

I think TH may provide an advantage if you get in at 8am and don't have small kiddos that take longer to eat and absolutely must meet all of the characters. We always book an 8am ADR at TH and it has served us well in riding KS and EE before the mass of the RD crowd hits. They seat you very quickly and the service is very efficient. We normally eat our fill, meet most of the characters and are out by 8:30. In theory, the 8 to 8:15 ADR should provide an advantage with P-WOA as well. My DD and I have two 8am TH ADR's booked for our October trip for this very reason plus we really like the food, juice, and service

I think it would help you with the Safari but not Pandora.

.... FoP for a reasonable SB wait...

... so, like that won't be happening for a few months... maybe by the 1st anniversary of Pandora?

So then what time do you think I should try to get the fast pass for Navi? I need enough time on July 14 to run in at rope drop from offsite guest line and get through flight of passage.

First, I will just share my two cents that NOBODY can tell you yes or no at this point -- we just don't know until people try.

You might want to book the early TH for now and wait for reviews from people trying this -- because there will most certainly be people trying this!

We eat at TH all the time, and don't mind to miss some of the characters. With that approach, we're often out in 45min. How long it takes you depends on how much meeting all the characters matters to you...and of course how quickly your family gets through a meal.

Until AK goes back to regular 9 am openings with no emh, there can't be an advantage.

But, when it does, the big question would be if they let TH guests enter Pandora through the FOLK entrance, or go back to the Discovery Island entrance. If they can get in through the FOLK entrance, I would guess they'd get there before the RD crowd. Even if at roughly the same time, I'd much rather the less crowded walk from TH than the RD crowd.

But if they make you go back to Discovery Island to get in, then it would probably be a disadvantage.
