Normally not one to do trip reports, but what a day! EEx2, safari, trail, lion king, flights of wonder, EE. Back at villa (Kidani) for lunch, pool time, Sanaa tour. On balcony with beer Giraffe, Zebra, Wildebeest. Sanaa for dinner, then pool or Jambo.

HOT, but rain has been minimal the past few days. This reminded me why I love this place so much.

16 min ago by karlan29

The mobile version hasn't been released yet.

14 min ago by daisykingdom91

Bummer, thats what i use 99.99% of the time.

13 min ago by karlan29

I pulled it up on my laptop, snap a photo so it's on my iPhone (already have TP on my phone). Not ideal, but works until it is avail on phone

You can open the main web page on your phone's browser and go to the dashboard from there. It may or may not display correctly depending on your phone settings.

It didn't display correctly on my iphone using the web version. Will try on my iPad soon.

I have 5 day tix...going to add another day. My 60 days is tonight. Can I make fpp for more days or do I need to call and add another day now? Thanks

25 min ago by Tjsmommy26

You can only make them for the number of days on your ticket. Call now to add.

22 min ago by pod4christ

Ok thank you. My TA out of town and didn't want to bug her ;)

21 min ago by Tjsmommy26

What if you have an AP? My 60 day mark should be August 2nd, MDE seems to only show 30 days in advance. Staying at AKL.

5 min ago by Rushnok

Can u still schedule 60 days with an AP if you are staying at AKL

3 min ago by Rushnok

My DH and I have 7am ressie for CM for the first time without kids. Now am wondering if we will look silly. Just two adults. Hopefully it won't be too busy at that hour

Best place for illuminations?

5:22pm by 1st trip Dad

Japan area is one if my favs

34 min ago by Sam2071

We watched from the top of the steps in Canada. :)

32 min ago by Jayzeeduck

We like Italy. And don't bother rushing out after it's over. Take your time and enjoy World Showcase as it clears out.

Kiosk lines at MK are absolutely insane. Sitting on the shade at the DVC booth in Frontierland watching the lines for the kiosks between Adventureland and Frontierland. Craziness.

2:11pm by Sorcerers_Apprentice

I agree they were crazy. At AK there was no wait for the kiosk which consisted of one CM holding the tablet.

2:14pm by tinkermel

I wonder if these are people just coming in and looking for for all 3 FPs or if they're folks looking for the 4 th or more?

2:18pm by fallgirl

Could not believe there were only 2 in storybook circus.

2:28pm by jenniemouse

Lines. Really don't like to hear this. Going to be relying on a touring plan, rope drop, and just 3 FPPs to prevent kiosk waiting. Miss old FP.

2:29pm by whenuwish

Need to put add'l FPP on the App....pulled out all of those FP kiosks for fewer FPP kiosks. <missing old FP>

2:46pm by errobin

Agreed. Looking forward to being able to managing fourth FP over the app, site. That said, I like this fast pass system much better than paper tickets.

2:46pm by jmbishopjr

I've heard there are kiosks that are not crowded because they are out of the way or no one knows to use them. It will be interesting for our Dec trip as this will be our first with FPP.

2:49pm by bhart22

I'm sure there are less crowded kiosks. I just happened by the one at Philharmagic and the one in Frontierland and they were both crazy.

2:51pm by Sorcerers_Apprentice

We had good luck with the kiosks in tomorrow land.

2:54pm by tinkermel

I agree with whenuwish. Planning on my TP, rope drop, and 3 FPP to get us through the day.

2:57pm by Sorcerers_Apprentice

Hhhmmmm, a line to avoid waiting in line...

3:05pm by TiggersFriend

I hate seeing that. It gives agita

3:13pm by BearsMom2011

Yikes! That's crazy!! :S

3:40pm by LoveBug53

This terrifies me. Staying offsite and buying tx at shades of green. It really has me nervous.

3:52pm by jennandbarn

Ugh.. When I was there in May, there were no lines at the kiosks anywhere.

5:14pm by Jillspo

Oh my @SA! That line looks horrendous! Like others, I'll RD, rely on my 3 FPP and not count on addl if it's like that in December.

5:18pm by MooreDisneyPlease

Benn there twice since kiosks in effect. Never waited more than 5 mins at yellow tent in Storybook Circus. Longest line I have seen is kiosk near LTT sorta

5:20pm by SimplyStacey

We waited 30 minutes for our 4th a couple weeks ago. This past Saturday we waited 10 minutes in the morning and20 in the afternoon.

5:23pm by theladydiaz

Interestingly, the MK map only showed the kiosks in frontier land and tomorrow land. That may explain the short lines elsewhere.

5:25pm by theladydiaz

My experience was that people had no clue how to use the kiosk/what they were doing. We added several FP at the end of our days, but with a good TP and RD, we were able to do everything we wanted on our trip (and then some).

28 min ago by cori.mizell

Can't 4th fpp be made via smartphone? I thought I read that...

15 min ago by ginger shriner

Not yet @Ginger, can only change them from your phone. Am soooo hoping this is avail by Nov!

9 min ago by errobin

The 4th FPP must be made at the kiosk.

8 min ago by tinkermel

Not yet @ginger - hopefully that will happen but for now the 4th, 5th, etc. have to be made at a kiosk.

8 min ago by LoveBug53

Not yet, Ginger.

Thinking of having a date night at Jiko. Staying at YC. If we got to AKL earlier then our ADR are there some fun adult things to do?

18 min ago by imobsessedwithdisney

viewing the animals, walking around the grounds can be very romantic

17 min ago by DarthD

Thanks I wasn't sure if there was animal viewing around the resort. I've never been there before. Also Jiko, Sanaa or Boma?

15 min ago by imobsessedwithdisney

For just 2 adults I say Sanaa

13 min ago by waitin2flyaway

Jambo lobby has really interesting artifacts; CMs at animal viewing areas are very knowledgeable, interesting to talk to, bar overlooking Boma is very cool

9 min ago by mem459

Also Victoria falls or Sanaa bar for a drink. Get one to go from pool bars and enjoy the Savannas and theming.

If I'm at RD at HS at a crowd level 6, am I likely to get a spot at Jedi Training Academy if I first ride TSMM and then immediately go to sign up for JTA? TIA

5:07pm by Dismoo

From past reports, I hear someone needs to get to JTA signup immediately at RD or you may miss your chance. Hopefully my reply will bump the thread for people with more experience with JTA at different crowd levels.

5:26pm by maccys_mousehouse

Possibly not. Last year we were there on I believe a 4 and not everyone in line got a spot. I wouldn't risk it if it's a must do.

5:28pm by LetItGo

Definitely Not Likely - should get JTA first thing.

59 min ago by MommaD

Your child needs to be present to sign up.

58 min ago by buckeyeguy

We went at rd on Friday and got our boy signed up no problem, but they were totally booked when we returned for thefirst show of the day.

49 min ago by ssiepel

No you need to go before you do anything else at all and you should get a slot

Will be staying @BW in Sept...what'd you think of buses? My friend just got back and said Swan was always first stop so they caught bus there and also got off bus there and walked back to BW. Did u find a particular order or best way?

2:11pm by glamourgirl

Interested in this also. However we will have a car and take it to AK so the only buses I will be using are the ones to MK. Walking to EP and HS .

2:20pm by stonecold

Any other thoughts

3:16pm by glamourgirl

I would like to know, too.

3:49pm by Cindyrelly

Bump

4:31pm by glamourgirl

I have stayed at BW and Swolphin several times. BW has been the first stop every time. Swan 2nd, Dolphin 3rd. In low season, BW can also share with BC/YC to/from AK.

4:39pm by KeliJ

Guess it really just depends on that day...

4:45pm by glamourgirl

We stayed in late June and Boardwalk was always first except for Downtown Disney bus. We almost always got a seat in the am and we were a group of 13.

4:53pm by KBoopaloo

I have stayed at Boardwalk as well multiple times. The only time it has been last for me is DTD also.

5:17pm by JennS1024

That said, when we took the boat to Boardwalk from HS, we jumped off at Swan for a quick trip over the bridge to BW.

Boma question! The menu in TP doesn't have any "kid foods" listed. I can get my kids to try anything but it's nice to have a Mac and chs or nugget standby. Anything kiddish on the buffet?

3:32pm by LetItGo

Yes they have a whole kids section! Mashed potatoes, mac n cheese, etc

3:35pm by mALYficent

Excellent! Thanks Maly!!!

3:55pm by LetItGo

And chefs are also great about making special things if you're really stuck

3:56pm by mALYficent

Do you think it's worth going to? This is our first time staying at AKL and a friend of DH said it was awesome.

4:11pm by LetItGo

Boma rocks!

4:12pm by Cindyrelly

Boma is really good. Lots of different foods to try, but some regular stuff, too, which ensures you are stuffed when you leave!

4:30pm by fanofpooh

It was probably our favourite meal of the whole trip. So yummy!

4:45pm by mALYficent

As of late, Disney's menus have been much more reliable than TouringPlans's. I recommend going directly to the source: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/animal-kingdom-lodge/boma-flavors-of-africa/menus/

5:03pm by Mr.Itty

Highly recommend Boma; delicious, well-prepared, wonderful variety

5:13pm by mem459

Go go go... My boys must do every trip :)

5:17pm by frischboyz

Have always seen the kid regulars And they may even try some of the adult goodies

5:20pm by wdwfamily3

Was there last night with DD8 and there were quite a few things there for her to choose from. Mac and cheese. Meatballs. Mash etc. lots of great desserts too.

5:25pm by jdiana

Thanks Mr Itty! Somehow I didn't know about those menus! Glad to hear all the great reviews of Boma! We are so excited!

5:26pm by LetItGo

Outstanding family fav

44 min ago by krenzels

You guys are making me waaaayyyy more excited then I was!

23 min ago by LetItGo

Lots of simple fresh fruit slices too (not touching each other!) if kids have some fruits they like.

22 min ago by LuvMuppets

If at AKL, may want to try Sanaa on a different night (we are eating there tonight)
