What will Navi line be like at RD?

[KatieCharlotte]

We may have a chance for FOP FP because my current plan is for AK to be at 60+4. I know that in this "wonderful" system, I have to choose between FOP and Navi. This is a difficult choice for my family because most of us will love FOP but one of us can't ride it. It is important for the non-rider to be able to enjoy all of the calmer attractions at Animal Kingdom, including Navi. He qualifies for a DAS and has gotten one before, but he's a self-conscious teenager and prefers be treated like everyone else. So, getting a DAS is an emergency back-up. We will have a FP for the safari.

Questions: (1) If we arrive before RD (staying at AKL) and head right to Navi at a calm but steady pace, what kind of line could we encounter? It will be a typical mid-summer day.

(2) For our third FP, the thrill-riders are deciding between Everest and Dinosaur. Both are equally attractive to us and neither is a made-or-break must-do. Is either likely to be available as a fourth FP in the evening, if we are very lucky and get FOP for the morning/afternoon? Does either have manageable line early or late?

(3) What should we do with the FP my son is not going to use? Can someone else use the non-rider's FP by borrowing his magic band? Is there any trick that would let him have multiple FP for the same ride, e.g. riding the safari again while we're on FOP? I assume there's no benefit to having only one member of the group have a FP for a show?

1) 5-15 min wait. It builds much slower than FoP

2) toss up but I would FP Dinosaur if you guys can do the single rider line at EE. If single rider isn't an option then I would FP EE. Dinosaur is more likely to have FP's available later in the day.

3) as long as the owner of the band is in the park and doesn't want to use a FP, another member can take the MB and use it. There's no trick to have multiple FP's for the same ride. That is only available if you select it as a 4th FP if it's still available
