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

[momtotaryn]

YAY! It's 3:33am here, and now I can go back to sleep!

Jungle Book FP+ and dining packages open tomorrow per the blog.

 

[Music City Mama]

I wonder if they will do that for jungle book? Make the FP booking a day after the announcement? Would be nice not to have to stalk all day today....hehehehehe

Possibly, but they may try to spread it out so their website doesn't take such a hit at one time. FEA opens after I leave, but there will be many people who are trying to get both JB and FEA (and the M&G), so hopefully they'll release JB today. Also, FEA and M&G won't open for another month -- JB opens in about a week, so we need to firm our plans sooner than those folks.

This was just posted on disney park blogs

FastPass+ and dining packages for Disney’s Animal Kingdom night experiences will become available beginning tomorrow, May 21.

I guess it's on. PSA: Remember that they changed FP+ reservation times to 7am ET, so don't stay up late tonight for no reason.

Never mind -- someone just posted above that it is tomorrow! Oh boy, should be fun!

I wonder if there is a benefit to booking the FP+ vs the dining package?

 

[Music City Mama]

What about late night (after 7:30-8:30) FP+ for EE? That still hasn't opened, has it?

 

[KT0191]

Tomorrow!!

Nope. They changed it about 2-3 days ago.

They still haven't updated park hours for July yet.............

Per the Blog's entry about Tiffins:

"The park’s culinary team is working on special dining packages which will begin May 28 at Tiffins and Tusker House Restaurant for the new limited-engagement nighttime show, The Jungle Book: Alive With Magic.

Similar to the popular Fantasmic! Dining Packages at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the Dining Package includes reserved seating for the nighttime show. At all-you-care-to-eat Tusker House Restaurant, you can choose the breakfast, lunch or dinner buffet on the day of the show (but you have to dine at least 2 ½ hours before the show). Breakfast is $37, $23 ages 3 to 9, plus tax and gratuity; lunch and dinner, $49, $30 ages 3 to 9, plus tax and gratuity. Tusker House Restaurant is on the Disney Dining Plan and counts as one table-service meal.

At Tiffins, the package includes your choice of appetizer, entrée, dessert and non-alcoholic beverage at either lunch or dinner. The Dining Package is $67 for adults, $32 ages 3 to 9, plus tax and gratuity. Tiffins is on the Disney Dining Plan and counts as two table-service meal credits."

I guess this means no Flame Tree BBQ dining package?

 

[PopGirl26]

So, no one has told us what times the shows will be, or how many there will be nightly?!
