Last time I was there, we had a pretty large group and it was so easy to get FP's and change them and split groups and everything.
I agree. I’ve had 2 great experiences with FP+ and one decent experience. The only downside was it is a little difficult to be spontaneous with FP+. My last visit was during a busy season & we didn’t know we were going till weeks before. When I can book my rides, it does make me a lot more relaxed though which I love. I book my coasters at night & get to relax until then, riding attractions that are not as popular. I know it’s not a good thing, but because most of parks don’t have much in quantity of rides, I’m usually able to book the only rides I feel are must-see attractions and everything else is bonus. That’s going to change in a few years when all the additions are open. At Disneyland it would be more difficult since the park is stacked with rides.
At Disneyland I’m usually the one running around to get Fastpasses for the family & it can get a bit annoying. If the Maxpass remains $10 during my next visit I’m definitely planning on utilizing it. Seems so worth it!
This isn't specific to AK, but rather based on recent discussion. We're going to WDW Oct.'18. Having been to DL twice for extended stays in the past two years, I became a wizard at manipulating their old system. Now, WDW is different...and I think I understand the refresh situation no problem. However I saw in a recent post something like "remember we were a 2 person fast-paced party"...I'm guessing that refers to the fact that doing it with "only 2" is easier than larger groups. Just making sure that it wasn't something else (we're a group of three).
Also on the fence about MNSSHP. Done the DL version twice and loved it. BUT the reviews of MK version underwhelmed me. BUT, with the park closing at 6pm 4 of our 6 nights there...starting to think the crowds on the other 2 nights will be so bad I'll almost to do the party one night.
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
Your mother was a donkey, and your father smelt of...elderberries!
Do the party. You won't regret it. My one time to do it was easily my 2nd favorite day on a vacation ever (1st being a marathon day at MK for my daughter's 5th bday). You can't beat the atmosphere, the candy, the parade, and the lack of lines.

Animal Kingdom’s answer to Matterhorn is impressive looking IMO!
Fun Fact! The “Naked Mole Rats” have been at Disney’s Animal Kingdom for 20 years! (They are also my favorite animal at the park!)

The new “Up! A Great Bird Adventure” show was super cute! Russell & Dug were awesome! And they had amazing birds!
Every time I walk into Pandora, I am still completely blown away by it!
The new "Utility Suit" character in Pandora was pretty cool. It fits into the story as being a device they use to help climb the mountains and lift rocks helping to rebuild the Valley of Mo'ara.
