Will I have enough time to do this?

Wasn't really sure where this thread belonged so I posted here :)

I have a FP+ reservation for Jungle Cruise at 10:00am and an ADR at Crystal Palace at 10:20am. If I am at Jungle Cruise early and use my FP+ ASAP, should I have time to make it to Crystal Palace?

TIA!
 
No. You can only get in 5 minutes early, and sometimes it takes a few minutes to get on the ride. You need to watch for a slightly later ADR time or slightly earlier FP time.
 
Maybe- but it is somewhat of a slow loading ride. With a FP entry at 9:55 you should get on by 10:05 and the ride is about 10 minutes. So with time to exit the boat you should make it to CP by 10:20. The walk to the restaurant is less than 5 minutes.
 
You will be late to the ADR.
 

I agree that you will be a little late for your dining reservation. However, they do give you some time to show up after the said time. You likely would not have a problem getting there 10 to 15 minutes late, however, I would recommend to try to move your FP. I think that will be easier than changing the dining time.
 
I managed to get my ADR for 5 min later, at 10:25am instead. I'm going to keep checking and hopefully keep buying myself more time :)

Thanks for the responses! Hopefully that extra 5 min might be enough. I'm thinking if the fast pass is 5 min early that gives me 30 min to get on, ride, and walk to Crystal Palace?

That seems like enough, given the time of day. But I've never eaten there before or been on jungle cruise.

That extra 5 minutes on the ADR you got - that might make this enough time. Definitely try the FP 5 minutes early - and then once off - move quickly to CP. But if there's a back-up at Jungle Cruise in the FP line - it could be a fail at CP. There's usually a small window on the ADR that the CM is going to take a late arrival - but how booked they are and backed up they are can influence that.

Thanks! I think I will try it if the FP+ line is empty and if it isn't just skip it and go to Crystal Palace. It's relatively early so I'm hoping the line won't be long. I guess we'll see :)

You should have little (if any) trouble rescheduling your Jungle Cruise FP to later in the day.
This (rebooking FP) can even be done if you simply choose to skip using your original Jungle Cruise FP, and let it expire.

Thanks! I have a Peter Pan FP for 9am. After I use that, is it possible I might rebook jungle cruise for earlier if it's available? Or would I have to wait for 10am at that point?
 
Are you rope-dropping MK? I'd skip morning FP+ completely. Go right to Peter Pan at rope drop and do the stand-by line because it's almost better than the ride. Do anything else in the area (Small World, Pooh, Philharmagic, Enchanted Tales with Belle, Little Mermaid) that you'd like to hit, as the waits won't be long yet. Then head to Crystal Palace for breakfast, and do a FP+ for Jungle Cruise and whatever other two rides you really want after breakfast. If you're planning to ride any of the Mountains and/or Mine Train, I'd give them priority for your 3 FP+ and try to get additional FP+ for things like Jungle Cruise, Haunted Mansion, etc. after you've done those. But that's totally dependent on what kind of attractions your family prefers. Just remember that Jungle Cruise is one that you can probably add later on the fly with fairly little difficulty.
