Disney's Animal Kingdom changes to opening to allow early access to attractions.

Disney have made some changes to the opening procedure at Animal Kingdom, and now allow early access to some attractions.

Guests are now allowed into the park 15 minutes before opening, with the old rope drop location across the tip-board being removed. Guests are free to roam the park, with Kilimanjaro Safari, TriceraTop Spin and Expedition Everest being open during the 15 minute early period. Some snack kiosks on Discovery Island are also open early.

Guests cant however get a FastPass during the 15 minute early period, this is likely to stop popular attractions being sold out for the day too early. 

It's an interesting move, however likely wont do well for Kilimanjaro Safari unless the animals are brought onto the savannah earlier, as most of them tend to not be in sight until at least 9:30am.
