Using FP for the Animal Kingdom Stage Shows

[BuzzinDownToDisney]

Just curious about anyone's actual experiences using FP+ on either Festival of the Lion King or Finding Nemo the Musical. I see Mesaboy's thread has them both listed as a "B" priority. We have one extra FP for our AK day and am wondering if it's worth choosing one of these?

Nemo is a better use of FP+, not because the show is better, but because guests with FP+ get in earlier for a better choice of the more limited seating.

Be sure to arrive at Nemo about 45 minutes before show-time (if you have a FP) and
be in position to get better seating.

The layout of the Lion King seating is less problematic, and guests without FP can still find excellent seats for that show.

I agree with Robo. We've used FP+ for both. Nemo was great because we could walk right in at the end of our FP+ window and still get good seats (we were in the back center). Lion King FP+ was a complete waste. By the time we got in the theater, we had to walk pretty quickly to the opposite side of the theater just to find ok seats. Wouldn't do Lion King FP+ again.

As always Robo, many thanks, you rock!

You too DisneyWishes, appreciate the heads up. Looking forward to really diving into AK this trip.

Really?
