When we went in May it didn't seem to have much of an impact. It was still a long wait for the safari.

Actually what would be recommended, going straight to EE or to the Safari? As I recall the Safari is only "Good" either once the park opens, once it gets dark, or when it's raining because the animals hide from the heat.

I would say get a fastpass for Everest, then go do the Safari right after. That way you can do the safari early in the morning, then go on Everest when ever you like with the FP, as long as it's after the starting time.

after scanning, you can do a resize of the picture before uploading. Sub told me about a program called Irfanview. You can resize the pic to whatever dimensions you want, then upload to something like photobucket, then post here.

I was lucky enough to be in WDW for the Passholder preview weekend and the ride is wonderful. Very clever and great fun. A kind of mix between BTMR and Rock'n'roller coaster with no loops!

Expedition....is the best...its obvious that they are using coaster technology to the fullest..with a backwards and forwards running ride completely surrounded in an atmosphere that tells a story. this ride was fantastic! smooth too. unlike the jerky motions of Rockin Roller Coaster..this one is smooth! the Yeti is fantastic too! and what an awesome paint job on the mountian...WOW!

I love Everest so much. During the last day of the cast preview, I road it 15 times in succession. Ended up doing it a total of 28 times while I was a cast member there. Definately a top 5 ride at the World.

And I can actually disagree with starting with an Everest fast pass and going to Kilamanjaro immediately. I'd do it the other way around, because Everest has an awesome queue line that tells alot of the story.

It sucks while you're in the tea garden, and the bells are annoying, but other than that it's an incredible queue line. Kilamanjaro's sucks. And they freakin' let strollers in (whoever thought of that should be fired. And then shot.)

Here is a Video of the Queue

The queue for Everest is so awesome. It's just so immersive and detailed. And yeah, the bells are annoying when people bang on them more than needed.
