Looking for a unique experience during Party for the Planet? Take a journey through tales of adventure and cuisine during Tiffins Talks, a special dining experience April 20-22 from 1-3 p.m., featuring the beloved creative force behind the concept, design and buildout of Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Walt Disney Imagineer and Portfolio Executive Joe Rohde. Join Joe for a unique conversation as he regales you with stories from his travels through a delectable 4-course lunch featuring global dishes, desserts and specialty beverages. Space is limited. Pricing for this dining package is $199 plus tax and gratuity and requires separate park admission.

He will also be on hand to sign prints. I really wish i could attend.

I wonder if they will be treated like the paper options were, where they don't get factored into the time you can select your next FastPass. Or will they treat it like all other FastPass option where I have to wait a minimum of 30 mins or a maximum of 90 mins or up to the start time of my FastPass before I can chose the next. I'm hoping the continue to treat it like the former.

Never a specific date but they have moved the general date around a lot.

I did this last year and it was well worth it. I was able to ask him some questions took some photo's together and a good meal...plus a lot of info on how AK came to be.
He did give me a weird look when I said I had never rode EE ..but I have since then

Oh the other Adventureland. Was going to say they just finished construction there just to start back up. Disneyland’s definitely needs it, it’s already quite tight without the Star Wars crowds moving through it.

I thought Disney was cracking down on how many items are being sold? I don't get how this is still happening.


How did someone buy 44 or 40 or 8 of the same item?

Some items have limits others do not.

I thought they were only cracking down on people reselling AP exclusive items from DLR. I hadn't seen any reports except on those items. Otherwise if no limit count exists you could buy what you want and if a limit count exists I hadn't heard of them stopping you from reselling (again aside from AP exclusives at DLR).

It's been confirmed from first hand experience of a poster that it works the same way it did previously. They are completely unconnected to the rest of the system. It will be interesting to see how fast the FP run out.
