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

[michelepa]

For 9/1 MDE on my laptop shows Tiffins dinig packages are available until 8:30. (Couldnt get any package to load on my iphone.)

We'd like to eat late and see second show but when I scrolled thru the times it only went until 7:00 and when i clicked 7:00 the latest time was 6:45 with first show so i reserved it.

Anyone able to get a later dining package for second show on 9/1?

I haven't seen anyone post on any thread that they got 2nd show. I have a 6:55 Tiffins with 1st show.

I'm pretty sure right now they are not booking dining packages for the 2nd show

The latest the dining packages book for is 7:00 (at Tiffins)

I posted this on the restaurant forums but seems like it would fit here.

Wondering how are people feeling about the dinner seating location? It is in the Dinoland area and is with standby. That does not seem like a premium location but I guess we really don't know yet. We might cancel the reservation if we can get fast passes 60 days out. Glad we have guaranteed fastpass for now.

Are there any reviews from previews from that section?

Has anyone else had strange issues with the dining packages? I finally got a reservation for Tiffins at 4:55 for the first show. When I went back to the itinerary later, it was showing as 1:55!! Now I can't get the page to load to try and change it back.

so, is JB also a regular FP+ (60 days out for WDW guests), if we can't book the dining package?

I can't get anything to load in MDE for any of my reservations right now. My confirmation email has the correct time and says first showing, though.

Also, a ton of Tiffins dinner has opened up, and fast passes still available, but I can't find any TH

Sooooo do we think that the Tusker House dining packages (for dinner) have sold out for the first week in June or have they just not been loaded yet for online booking?

Unfortunately, or fortunately we are heading to Disney now and I can only check things on my phone. I hope they open lunch or dinner at TH for the package, our breakfast is at 9:10 in the morning and the show is not until 9:00 pm. We would probably leave and then come back.

Seems most likely that they haven't been loaded. No reports in any threads that I've seen of lunch/dinner pkg at TH. And FWIW, phone CMs have said these haven't loaded yet.

I guess I have a confirmation number, at least. I'm trying to make a new one at the correct time and cancel the wrong one, assuming it's still showing up wrong. We'll see I guess!

Don't panic just yet. The Website is all kinds of messed up right now. Shows one of my ADRs as 1:30, but I went and check my confirmation email and the correct time is on that.

I can get regular times to show but still can't get any package times for TH

I tried TH for first full week of June from about 5:55am this morning until about 7:30am and it was constant for the first hour or so and there was never ever times available for dates 6/5-6/10. No way they already sold out. There were several of us checking that same week with nothing showing up for any of us. I am guessing either TH was already booked solid (which is likely) or they have not released yet.

Thanks Angie got thru to a CM who said there's a glitch in the Disney system and nothing is loading properly for the later dining ressies and second show. He said to check back later as it should be sorted out at some point no idea when.

Not a surprise. Disney just can't do anything right especially in regards to tech issues. Actually I was surprised the system didn't crash this morning. I am so d@@m sick of trying to get this vacay planned. Get your act together Disney.

I don't think THIS is the cause -- I was looking for late Aug and there's no way they were totally sold out for all lunch/dinner times at TH. I suspect they're just not open yet.

Yes, I got a regular FP+ for June 7th (no dining pkg) for JB this morning.

 

[ElaineB55]

Yes, I got a regular FP+ for June 7th (no dining pkg) for JB this morning.

And we got one for June 10th. We already had a dining reservation at Tusker House for 6:50PM. No times have been loaded yet for the dining packages are Tusker House. When they are available, would it be better to book that and cancel our reservation and FP? Does anyone know if there is a difference in price? This is getting pretty confusing!

Yeah if you are having the same week for August that definitely not the case then. I will say for the last few weeks that there have been no open times for regular TH for day or night because I had been trying to tweak our ADR time and nothing was coming up.
