planning
your day
The following are the parks headliner attractions. They are
therefore the ones with the longest lines so you should consider
always holding a FASTPASS
for one of them. Being headliner attractions means they are
best seen at the start of the day before the crowds arrive.
1.
Kilimanjaro Safaris (Africa)
2. Kali River Rapids (Asia)
3. Dinosaur (DinoLand USA)
4. Festival of the Lion King (Camp Minnie-Mickey)
Firstly,
as with all parks in Orlando, you should arrive before the
park opens as this is always the least crowded time. It is
worth starting at park opening by getting a Kilimanjaro Safari
FASTPASS. This is the parks premier attraction so everyone
heads straight here. If you get a FASTPASS you can usually
get to go straight on the other top attractions while everyone
else is either lining up for or riding the safari.
Kali River Rapids is where you should head after getting the
safari FASTPASS. You will normally be able to walk straight
on. If it is not a crowded day you may also be able to get
a second trip on the rapids without having to line up. If
you want a another soaking you should go for it, you are already
wet at this point!
You
should now be able to go and ride Dinosaur by joining the
still short line. Depending on what time window you were given
on your FASTPASS you should now head back to Africa and either
do your safari or get some food at the Harambe Fruit Market
or Kusafari Coffee Shop & Bakery while you wait for your
timeslot to ride the safari.
After
Kilimanjaro Safaris you can go and see what the line and times
for the Festival of the Lion King look like. The theater is
fairly large which should allow you to get into the next available
performance, which other than during lunchtime run close to
hourly. Before seeing the Lion King you should get a FASTPASS
for It's Tough to be a Bug or Primeval Whirl.
By the time you leave the Lion King show the park will be
getting crowded if it is a normal kind of day. This may be
a good time to try some of the smaller attractions while you
wait for your next FASTPASS slot. Remember the trails involve
no lines to see, but on the negative side also get crowded
at peak times.
Continue to carry a FASTPASS for any ride you have not yet
seen that has the FASTPASS system. The crowds from late morning
to virtually park close are usually heavy in Animal Kingdom.
You are therefore advised to take it easy in the afternoon
taking in the park at a slower pace than the day's start.
