When you visit the Animal Kingdom, bring a small pair of binoculars. It lets you get a better view of the animals on the Tree of Life. They will also come in handy for the Kilimanjaro Safari, Pangani Forest Exploration Trail and the Maharajah Jungle Trek.
What we found on our last trip to Animal Kingdom is since Expedition Everest is the most popular ride is head over there first thing and obtain a Fastpass. Next go over to Kilimanjaro Safaris and ride. By the time you are done and back at Expedition Everest it should be time for your Fastpass. Disclaimer: We only tried this one time, but it worked great for us. Let us know how it works for you.
