Animal Kingdom mornings are almost always the same: I run for Everest FastPasses, then meet the family at the entrance to Kilimanjaro Safaris.
I don’t always visit Animal Kingdom on our trips to The World, but when I do I make an early ADR at Tusker House @ 8:05. Stay hungry my friends.
Always the Safari. Then we grab a quick snack nearby and ride it again.
Depends on kids, but we like to Safari 1st , and tour around, come back late afternoon and ride the few thrill rides in last hour the park is open…
I take my time (1/2 day preferably) to enjoy the Oasis. Nothing unwinds me more then that …. if they had an Aloha Isle outpost there, I’d never leave.
More often than not, we start with pre-park opening breakfast at Tusker House and exit straight out onto the Safari. This past trip we stayed at AKL, so we slept in, skipped the safari, and the priority was fastpasses for Kali and hitting the maharajah jungle trek.
Grab the EE FP and ride the safari.
Usually we do AK on the day when we’re not going to make rope drop – so I’ll go grab Safari FPs while the family heads over to Dinosaur. Now that at least one of the kids in really getting into coasters, I suspect the next trip will have some heading to everest while others do Safari FP duty.
Mine is a combination. I start out at Tusker House pre park opening, with the plan to ride Kilimanjaro Safari first (as wave of people run towards ride), grab a FP for KS, ride it stand by a second time, and then ride KS the third time when FP time.
I realized that the next time I go to WDW, most likely everything will be FP+ or such, and we can make our Safari reservations far in advance. I suppose the smartphone has replaced the family FP runner.
