Animal Kingdom

[mpc]

We decided last night to go to Disney today. Talk about no planning, lol. We bought a 4 day ticket and we're going to do animal kingdom first. It seemed... the most tame? DS is super timid and scared of crowds and strangers, so this may be a disaster. we have no fast passes and no dining planned. Any last minute words of advice?

I think we'll try magic kingdom next weekend or early Feb, so I might have a tiny bit more planning done for that one. Lol

It's probably not too late to get FPs - download the app if you haven't already. Definitely try to FP the Safari ride. We also took the 5 min train ride out to Rafikis Planet Watch - they have a small petting zoo of goats there. DD fell asleep at lunch time - so DH and I had sangria and amazing burgers at Yak and Yeti. There's also a rainforest cafe if your kid is not sleeping at lunchtime. I think there's also a Nemo show - we never made it because DD fell asleep.

I would get on the app and try to book some FPs. I would also search available ADRs just to see what is out there. We enjoyed our dinner at Yak and Yeti. We did a QS lunch at Flame tree and that was good too. Enjoy your day!

We're you planning on using the same ticket in early Feb? It's only good for 14 days from first use if you didn't know.

I love AK. Hope you have fun!!

I assume you live in Florida and bought the 4 day Florida tickets that expire in 6 months?

You can definitely still get some FPs. The Finding Nemo show is great.

That's awesome I assume that's the case!

I also loved the Nemo show.

No FP available for the safari so we are in line now.

Thanks all!

FL resident passes are good for 6 months, but we have a bunch of blackout dates.
ETA I see this was covered

sorry to hijack, we are doing a character meal at 8:40am. What time should I aim for for a safari fP?

9:30-10:30 if you want to do it right after breakfast. You could alternatively go to Rafiki's Planet Watch first and then go on the safari. I'd do that and would book the safari FP for 10:15-11:15.

I plan on taking DD1 to the bone yard playground this time. It's supposed to be very fun.

DD loved it. I think she would have climbed up ropes all day if we let her.

Oh yeah this playground is great. He especially likes the giant "dig site"/sandbox.

The train has been the favorite of the day so far. Not surprising as he is completely train obsessed.

DS loved it there the other day. We actually went back twice.

Be glad you didn't go to MK today it was CRAZY when we left at 12. We got on every ride we wanted to between 8-12 though ( Splash 2x BTMRR 2x Jungle Cruise, Alladin Carpets, Dumbo, Casey Jr Splash Pad Tommorowland Speedway, Tommorowland Transit Authority & 7DMT ) AND had a Dole Whip!!
