What time did you get in the FP line? Just trying to figure out if they are lining up before the 8:25 return time.
Around 7:30pm they started loading the theater.

Ugh. So they gave out lots of 9:30-ish fastpasses.Is safari line now. FP+ queue is long.
Thoughts on the show?Yes.
I know you can order anything from Tiffins and they can bring it to you in the lounge. As for a nomad specific menu I'd look at wdwnt maybe?
Wow so that is about an hour earlier then what the FP time starts.Around 7:30pm they started loading the theater.
I agree that sounds early. Does the dining side start that early as well?Wow so that is about an hour earlier then what the FP time starts.
Yes it is early, we have a dining reservation at 6:30, not sure if we will be done eating by 7:30.I agree that sounds early. Does the dining side start that early as well?
I have read where a few people did not get to see the tree of life light show. How often do they have it light up and how should we go about be able to see it?I asked when the standby for the safari closes. I was told they let people in up until 11pm. So it does not close earlier than the park.
Ice cream carts were opened at least til 10:30pm. It looked like the fruit stand near the safari closes at 10:30.
The tree of life is the biggest winner of the night! !
Both sides, both nights opened at 7:30pm.
I loved the show! My husband and son liked the show. We had incredible seats. I could see both the stages perfectly. The water projections were clearly visible.
The songs, storyline, and dancing made perfect sense to me and fit together. My dh and I both felt there were subtle changes between tonight and the videos from last night.
I think your seat matters. Because where I could see the stages and water projections clearly, the people behind me on the safari said they couldn't see from their seats. I showed them a picture I took, and they said their view was no where close to what I saw.
The safari tonight.. We saw lots of animals! ! Several coming right up to our car. Our guide was Frank and he knew how to work his spotlight. He was a great guide! We were surprised by how many we saw!

LOL, I watched the video too and felt much the same. It didn't look bad but not all that compelling either. I liked some of the music and the dancing was fine but I think that I would go elsewhere if I was at AK that late.I know a lot of people are skipping watching the video so they can form their own impressions in person. I get that, but since this show - at least on paper - sounded like an afterthought that was hastily thrown together, I thought a preview was in order if I was going to consider a dining pkg. I was booked in a package at Tusker House, but decided to watch the video because the Tusker pkg would cost me an extra $77 after gratuity for our party of 6 (compared to a regular dinner ADR a Tusker...at least according to pricing on Allears). To me, even though WDW is pricey, I just didn't want to pay the extra $77 without seeing something that made the extra $ seem worth it.
So, I watched the video..OK...'tried' to watch the video. After about 5 minutes, I realized I was still waiting for it to draw me in. After about 10 minutes, I realized that I tuned about the bulk of the last five minutes. I fast forwarded a bit through the video, looking for some change or great crescendo at the end that could make it all worth it. Still...nothing...to me, at least.
I canceled my package ADR and booked a regular old dinner ADR at Tusker. So, hopefully lots of other people will still want to see the shows so we can have shorter lines for attractions in AK.

Can you select your own seat? If so where would you suggest sitting? I am assuming you sat on Asian side
It is but she said that the FP section wasn't full so it doesn't sound like you HAVE to get there that early. I know we won't.Wow so that is about an hour earlier then what the FP time starts.
I just changed our night safari to one during the day. Do you really think they will make a little better as time goes on? Now I'm not sure if I should change it back to night lol. We will be there at the end of June.

Nice view!We were there shortly after 7:30. We had our pick of seats. Closer to 8:30 the FP+ area was just about full.
This was our view. 6th row, 2nd section from the left and all the way right to the stairs.
