Doing Chef Mickey's one night, Cinderella's Royal Table one morning - Tusker House fore breakfast and can't remember where we're eating on Thursday.
Any tips on the fast passes? I know for sure I'll have to get the kids fast passes for the Toy Story stuff at HS.
This is our first trip, so I know we're gonna make rookie mistakes. I was going to read this thread in more detail, but I simply don't have the time. If anyone can give me their top 3 tips/recommendations about anything that would be great.
Thanks in advance...
for Animal Kingdom... Everest is the best ride with the most FastPass demand. If the kids are big enough, that's the FP to target. The Kilimanjaro Safari is usually better early in the day. If you don't mind a little running and FP kiosks are open by breakfast time, grab Everest FastPasses right before Tusker House. (This can get a little tricky, as part of the Tusker House wait is getting a family picture taken with Donald Duck in safari gear.) If you can pull this off, your Everest FastPasses should be live after breakfast, and you can grab Kilimanjaro FPs on your way to Everest and the Dinosaur section of the park.
If the kids aren't big enough for Everest, grab Kilimanjaro FPs right before breakfast. They should be live right after your meal.
I found the Dinosaur ride to be really bumpy and a bit of a letdown, but if your kids are into Dinosaurs or like Jurassic Park, they will dig it.
The kids might get a little antsy waiting for the Lion King or Finding Nemo shows... but those shows really are spectacular. The Lion King show is a bit more kid-friendly. It's a run-through of the big songs from the movie/musical. The show is in the round with four bleacher sections surrounding it. If you sit along the right edge of a bleacher section, especially down near the front, there's a good chance the kids will be asked to join the show and parade around the stage during "The Lion Sleeps Tonight".
The Finding Nemo musical is a stage show mix of live action and puppetry. IMO is a good show all around, but if the kids like the movie they will like the show. The theater for Finding Nemo is a bit bigger than Lion King a a lower-demand show, so the wait and seating will be a little easier.
The last time I was at WDW, AK was experimenting with FastPasses for the last Lion King show of the day. Not sure if that gained traction or expanded.
