Another package to try, this one for Festival of the Lion King **(reviews start on page 5)**

[kat_lh]

Just booked this for our October trip. It seems to be a better value than the ROL package we had booked previously - especially if the safari stays as private as they have so far. We've got the 3PM FOLK show and a 6:15 seating for dinner.

This package sounds amazing. We’re teaveling with a 4 year old and 1 year old. Does anyone know what food options they’ll offer for the 4 year old (normal kids menu?)? Might be a little pricey for her, who ideally would like a hotdog anyway.

Other than the safari area are tier 1 and Tier 2 the same? The wording of the seating for the show is slightly different for the two suggesting Tier 2 isn’t quite as good. Otherwise it looks the same.

From the link in the OP......

Tier two will get priority seating at Festival of the Lion King, in the rows behind the tier one seating.

Its depressing this ends in Nov.. I was so interested in it! Hopefully they will extend it into at least the 2nd week of December!! It sounds amazing!

Is there an annual pass holder discount for this?

 

[kat_lh]

It doesn't say that there is but it probably wouldn't hurt to call and ask

I don't believe so.

Has only else done this recently and want to share a review? We are definitely keeping our reservation, but curious how others experiences are!

We also did the Tier package yesterday 8/13. Our show was 2pm, and just like the review above--it was all very organized. After the show, we were escorted to the Safari with 3 CMs, one being our personal animal expert. It was just DH and I for our safari which was pretty dern amazing. She asked me a ton of questions on our walk to the safari truck to help personalize our safari. On the safari she addressed all special points and education I could ever have hoped for. Lots of "behind the scenes" tidbit and trivia. We learned the animals names, how each one is trained for their barn time, etc.

Our dinner was at 5:50 and as always amazing. We love Tiffin's, but usually go more to Nomad Lounge. I couldn't believe we were allowed to pick ANY appetizer, ANY entrée, ANY DESSERT and most amazing to me was ANY glass of wine. I am so used to some poor quality happy hour quality of wine in promotions. The receptions bubbles were delightful as well-- a nice dry prosecco style. They were very accommodating to that I don't eat meat---and rearranged a dish special for me. DH got the turf and surf ;-) I was stuffed by the time dessert came. I can't even remember the last time we have ordered dessert in a restaurant. Now I know why LOL! We were seated next to a delightful gentleman eating alone on his birthday and I gifted him my dessert. He was tickled and for my birthday dessert DH and I shared a lovely 17 year old Oban. (scotch) No issues using our TIW for this extra drink and our espresso's.

All in all a great value and super experience! We quit counting CMs that came by our table that asked us how the safari was. Of course we know a few of them as regulars to Nomad (we are locals) but they all seemed very excited about the package.

Hope this helps with planning!

Hello! Thank you for your detailed review. We booked this package for 11/14 - 2:00 PM show & 5:00 PM dinner. Did you have to check in at Tiffins first, or did you go directly to FotLK?

We went to Tiffins that early afternoon to pick up our lanyards. Then went to show.

Enjoy! DH and I can't stop talking about how much we enjoyed it.

DH and I did it today
Nothing was a disappointment
Tiffins was spectacular. They've made a few menu charges since our last visit (that wasn't the special meal with Joe) and they now serve what I think it's the best steak on earth. Some tenderloin from a locally sourced farm that was so tender you didn't need to chew, it melted
Loved the seats for lion king. First row
As for our safari, we for to see the baby giraffe so all was right with the world, lol
