Animal Kingdom is another super fun rope drop park (they all are, but AK has a special place in my heart)! When rope dropping Animal Kingdom I would once again recommend getting to the park an hour before official park opening (1.5 hours if you want to be first in line)! I’m going to give you a couple of ideas for how to tackle Animal Kingdom first thing in the morning. Some ideas will be for the current (fast pass-less) status and some will be for when fast passes (hopefully return! Soon pleassse)!
1. You can head straight back to Pandora and hop in line for Avatar’s Flight of Passage (just know this is where almost everyone else will be headed since this ride will have the longest lines later in the day. (Sometimes 3+ hours!! 😳so make sure you put on your power walking shoes!) Once you knock out Avatar’s Flight of Passage, Navi’i River Journey will be right there waiting for you!
2. Another great option is to ride Avatar’s Flight of Passage first and then make your way over to Expedition Everest. If you do this option just make sure you are really ready to do it. Expedition Everest is clear across the park in Asia Land. Worth it though if you are a thrill seeker like me and want to make sure you hit both rides before the lines pick up! You may even be able to catch Kali River Rapids with a short line next because it usually has a delayed opening!
3. If you have some animal lovers in your party you may want to experience Kilimanjaro Safaris in the early morning hours as the animals will be active earlier in the day! When you return from your safari head whichever way is most important to you: Pandora, Asia, or Dinoland!
4. **This idea is for if fast passes return! Grab a fast pass for Avatar Flight of Passage! Then rope drop Expedition Everest and Dinosaur! Or Navi’i River Journey and Kilimanjaro Safari! Whichever you prefer!
Once you’ve been on the rides you most wanted to knock out, I would suggest some walking trails to see more animals! They will be most active in the morning (or at dusk, but people will be more active at dusk as well)!
