We have a rope drop day at AK planned. DD qualifies for the DAS. Here was my plan...
Arrive and grab a Kilimanjaro Safari DAS when we enter the park.
Head straight to EE. (Touring Plans estimates this will be a very short wait at this point.)
Head straight to Kali River Rapids (Touring plans says this will be a 100 minute wait at 7:45 am? This couldn't possibly be right, could it?)
Grab breakfast at Yak & Yeti Cafe.
Use our DAS pass at Kilimanjaro Safari.
Grab a FOP DAS.
Wander around - maybe see Lion King, get a drink at Pongu Pongu, shop (DD is dying to get an Avatar made of herself).
Ride FOP whenever our DAS return time allows.
Eat lunch at Satu'li Canteen.
Head back to the hotel.
DD cannot handle long park days, so this would max her out. It helps that she is OBSESSED with Avatar so she will be more interested in the latter part of the plan which takes place in Pandora.
I think it looks pretty solid, except for the wait time for Kali? Would it really be at 100 minutes while we are still in the 30 minutes of early entry?
Also... with riding Kali as our second attraction... will we regret being wet so early in the morning? I just don't see it being realistic to trek all the way back to Asia after lunch. So either we ride it in the morning when we are in the area, or we skip it all together.
