What should we do first??

[pinseeker11]

On days with EMH, should we for example at AK, eat at Donalds Breakfastosaurus, then head out to see park and ride rides.....or enter the park first and make ADRs for like 10 a.m.? Thanks!

Well, looks like you'll be visiting in the summer, so that means heat and crowds. I would arrive at the park and head right for the Safari. If you can get on right away great, if not FP and go to Dinosaur or Kali.....I'd make the ADR for 10am ish given the time of year you'll be visiting. I have low tolerance for heat and AK gets oppressively HOT in the summer months so I would not last all day....I'd probably plan to leave by noon or 1pm...it's a great park but once the sun is beaming, it's not so much fun....get the big attractions done in the morning, have breakfast then maybe head back to you hotel to swim etc.

Thanks! We will be heading there Sept 6-13! Do you think this strategy is good for all parks?

We were there this past September the same week. We entered AK and went straight for the safari! We got on with no wiat. Then we walked around until our ADR at 10:30 I believe. We had a longer wait to get into the restaurant than we did on any ride our entire trip. The wait was worth it though! Great place, great food. We celebrated our sons's bday there and he was treated like a king!
Go for the rides and a quick walk around, then eat! We left the park around 1:00. Liked it, but didn't love it.

The beginning of September is still pretty hot, so depending on who is in you group and everyone's tolerance for the heat, I would recommend breaks from the parks. DH and I can go all day in the parks in January but in June we're dying by about noon......I would get to the parks early, stick around until noon, go back to the hotel for a few hours to relax and swim and pick another park to go to at night....the heat can be really draining and can even make you sick if you're not careful.....good luck and have fun!!

We haven't done that at AK, but we have used the strategy at MK with CRT PSs. You want to take the most advantage of the time with the least amount of people in the park. So I'd opt for entering the park, doing the safari, getting a Fastpass for EE (or reverse...get fastpass first then safari, if you like walking), and doing the later seating for Donald's Bfastsaurus.
