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

[Cluelyss]

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

No. According to the blog, all of the nighttime FP open tomorrow. Though the rest of the rides have been bookable at night for weeks.

I guess this means no Flame Tree BBQ dining package?

Damn, I was hoping for that option.

Guess I'm staying up all night for this

So correct me if I'm wrong. Dining reservations can start being made online at 6am, and by phone at 7am. Also, as to the recent change to FP+ now at 7am versus midnight, is that effective immediately?

If we already have a reservation for TH, will we be able to add the package to it?

Wow, no Flame Tree then. That's a big disappointment. We don't want a character meal, and we don't really want a signature restaurant on this trip. I guess we'll be getting a fast pass.

I know, right? Guess it was silly to hope for a less expensive option. Neither of those are really in my budget. I wonder if Flame Tree was supposed to be offered originally because Disney didn't know if Tiffin's would be ready.

I hope the fastpass section has good seats.

Yeah but the past 2 times that I have stayed up for newly available (BOG breakfast and something else) dining reservations, they were made available to book before the usual 6am start time. The FP+ 7am booking time went into effect immediately like 2 or 3 days ago.

Assuming it is like Fantasmic Package, then no, you will have to make a completely new reservation with the package and cancel your existing non-package reservation.

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

Where was this posted? On the Disney Parks Blog?

Thanks!

I got the news from KtP. Then went to the FP thread on here and it was confirmed by people booking their FPs that night that it did indeed change.

I can't believe Tiffins doesn't have chicken nuggets and corn dogs on their menu, it's going to flop! (Skipper's Canteen joke there).

It was reported on by The Dis people, and they tested it the following day and found it to be accurate. Not sure if it made it to the Parks blog or not.

Has Disney said what time the Jungle Book shows are yet??

 

[Momtwofour]

I know the dining package will change once RoL opens, but I posted this as a question on DPB just to see what they say... if anything...

"Excellent!! How far out can the Jungle Book dining packages be booked for? Will they open up tomorrow for May 27 through August?? For the full 180 days ahead as other dining reservations?"

I am interested in this answer also! My trip isnt until October.

Is any of this available to book yet? I can't find the dining link or fast pass.

Tomorrow, per the parks blog.

Ugh! I just realized that I am going to have to be up early tomorrow, if I want a dining package or to eat at Tiffins, and I am going to have to be up early Sunday for my FP+ day I hate that they moved FP+ time
