Kenny the Pirate’s Fastpass+ enabled Animal Kingdom Touring Plan including characters for Warm Weather months
| Attractions | Characters | Entertainment | Hours |
| Menus | Touring Plans |
Updated 3/9/15 The most important part of a great day at Animal Kingdom with no waits is to arrive at least 45 minutes before park opening. If you arrive a little later and see the turnstiles already full, you might want to use the Rainforest Cafe entrance.
This plan was designed to be able to see all the major shows, ride every ride and meet every character in one day from 9:00 to 5:00 PM without much backtracking or rushing around.
Why did I place Kali River Rapids so late into the day? Because I don’t like to walk around the park wet all day. It causes chaffing and irritation. If you choose to ride earlier, you might want to consider bringing a change of clothing along. Ponchos don’t help very much on this ride!
Why is Kilimanjaro Safaris first on the list? Because the animals are moving about and eating early in the day and you’ll get to save your Fastpass for another attraction. The worst time to ride the Safaris truck is mid-day because it’s hot and the animals are sedentary and hidden in the shade.
If you aren’t using FP+ for Finding Nemo the Musical, you should plan to arrive 15 to 30 minutes early.
Guests are allowed to choose any 3 of the following attractions: |

| Discovery Island | MEET: Daisy Duck | |

| Dinoland | RIDE: Dinosaur. The posted wait time should be in the 10 to 20 minute range, and you’ll experience a short wait. If you chose a Dinosaur FP+, take a ride using said FP+. If you notice that the wait time is still low, you could switch Dinosaur for something else at the Kiosk or using Disney’s app. Finding Nemo the Musical or Kali River Rapids would be good options. | |

Hi your plans are awesome. The only ones I've seen with character meets and rides. We are going to animal kingdom on June 16 th. We have an adr for tusker house at 935 am. Should we follow the same order in the plan just after our adr? I just wondered if we should start by going to the safari ride right after our breakfast is over? This is our first trip so I'm new to all this. Thank you.

No, you'll have to skip some things and move them to the end. You should go directly to Safari, then check in for breakfast.
