OFFICIAL New Animal Kingdom Experiences UPDATE 5/28: Reports from first night in Post #2

[yulilin3]

I agree that it's crazy, but isn't this what they said they'd do -- May 20 release?

I love having the advance info from the HUB, but it would make sense for them to limit how much not-100%-sure info they place on it when it gets shared before they are ready, I would think. I feel like this might be because of how burned they felt after their RoL self-imposed debacle.

Yes, that's probably why. Poor phone cast members

Agreed.

 

[ArielSRL]

Agreed.

When the guy from the WDW exec office called me back he pretty much said that. They messed up with announcing a date for ROL so they won't be doing that again.

Am I the only one who thinks Tiffins menu looks unappetizing?

Looks interesting to me! We're looking forward to trying it.

The sad thing is that they said they would release more info on 5/20, not necessarily release FP+, ADR, or show times even. I am assuming that they won't say much, so that I am not too disappointed If they say stuff, then I will be be pleasantly surprised for once.

Unfortunately Tiffins would not be a good fit for my family of 'unadventerous' eaters. Off the ADR list for us.

First post got a much needed facelift, I believe it is a lot easier to read now. If I've left out anything we've learned lately someone please let me know.

Where is the Tiffins menu? Has it been released?

But if it's all starting on 5/27, they've got to release SOMETHING, right?.....right?.....

Who knows Maybe they won't do FP+ and ADRs at first or ever. They probably will release show times for Jungle Book though. I just don't want to get my hopes up, when nothing is a sure thing with WDW anymore.

I hope that's not true....but I wouldn't be surprised. At all. And that's sad

Since there is dining package pricing info posted now does this mean that the packages are available to actually book or are we still waiting for that??

Is the package info posted on the Disney website? I can't find it!

I just tried the week of my trip (June 11-17) to make a Tusker House reservation and there are no reservations available the entire week. I know for sure they were able yesterday for each day. Maybe this has to do with packages for Jungle book
