Kate! I haven't seen you on in awhile! How's ROLf?

I know, I miss our old thread! 'RoLf' is good! 7 weeks old, 13lbs, smiling at everyone!

It's a packaged meal. Here's what it includes

• Lunch or Dinner: $67 for adults and $32 for children 9 years of age and younger (tax and gratuity not included)
• Includes your choice of appetizer, entrée, dessert and non-alcoholic beverage
• Disney Dining Plan eligible

Please note that while Tiffins is available for lunch and dinner with this dinner package, you must dine at this location no later than 2-and-a-half hours prior to your designated performance time.

I will need a dogie bag.

I will need a dogie bag.

yeah, that's a lot of food. Also not loving the Tiffins menu I would rather go with Tusker House. I might pop into Nomad's Lounge for their small bites and a drink

We are going in September. Any guesses what will happen to these dinner packages if ROL is finally a go? Or are we all guessing that they've given up on it for this summer? I'm totally confused by all of it -- pretty excited to be in AK at night, but can't say I really want to spend that precious time watching a hastily produced show. I guess the worst that can happen is we have a reservation for Tiffins -- which sounds like it will have awesome theming and atmosphere.

I'm rambling. I know we're all in the same boat.

Dinner at Tusker House is showing up at least for late August.

I just booked a 5:45pm Tusker House package. Seating is for the 1st show.

I am a picky eater so not so crazy about the menu either, but I will give it a taste and see what happens. Maybe I can add something new that I like to the old taste buds.

Mid-June, just got a dinner reservation at Tusker for 4:30 with the first JB show. It's live!!!

Go! Go! Go!

After trying all morning I finally was able to get TH lunch for June 9, yay! Now I have to decide if I want to keep it... lol. It's hard not knowing anything about the Jungle Book show or how important having this package will be. I've never eaten at TH, but I've been meaning to try it. Maybe this is just a good excuse!

How does the food compare to Boma?

 

[DisMom829]

JB packages for TH open 1st week of June! I got 6/6 3 PM 1st show!!

 

[jsbowl16]

I just got a 530 TH reservation on 8/12 for the JB package. Now I can cancel my other reservations.

5:50PM (on 6/10) is as late in the evening as I can get. Any 6:00PM onwards..?

 

[ah10is]

Yes! Finally got a 5:35 PM TH Jungle Package for Dinner for 8/21.

 

[Momtwofour]

I am so happy you all getting those!! Now....they need to extend the dates into October so I can join in!!!!

 

[ffugitive]

Got a TH ressie for 5/31 at 5:40 (1st show). Very pumped.

 

[1supermomsmd]

Be quick for TH dinner - system starting to act squirrelly again

 

[TheWorld101]

Got my Tusker house lunch, 1st show, June 9!

Canceled my Tiffins dinner, first show.

What does it mean by "select dining plans not accepted"?

 

[bobbiwoz]

I got a note that " select dining plans not accepted." My guess is TIW is not accepted.

I'm happy. Have 4-5 FP for safari, and 5:30 dinner at Tiffins for seating for the first show. We're staying at BCV and only want a little bit of park experience, expect to spend most of the day at SAB.

I had to look up many of the spices on the Tiffins menu, and am looking at it as an "experience."

 

[lpizzuro123]

Yeah, just got breakfast at TH for the JB show on 6/1 at 10:50. Had 9:10 breakfast but wanted later. Hopefully this way we will get both breakfast and lunch good.

 

[1supermomsmd]

thank you everyone for your posts - got what we wanted!!!! Persistance/being ocd pays. Now for a nap.
