@*NikkiBell* ~ if you want your choice of seating with the FP area, I agree with 45 minutes. There's stone benches and metal benches and it's been reported that stone retains the heat.
 
Yeah, my point wasn't whether for sure they'd be running shows daily or not in Sept but more guessing they're not sure yet. But either way, I'm sure Dining Packages will be offered every night there IS a show. They may just be waiting to see how the summer goes before committing to more than every other day in Sept (a traditionally low crowd time).
 

Stone was miserable last summer due to the heat you mention. Also, the stone is solid so you lose the legroom to put your feet under the seat in front of you.

I would've thought metal would be hotter?

Pretty sure the metal is just the framing and the actual bench portion is wood. The stone just radiated heat and I ended up using a poncho so my legs didn't burn when we saw an earlier Jungle Book show last summer. We've stuck with the metal/wood since.
 
I hope ROL is going to be every night in September. I'm worried with the way the dining package dates are indicating. I hope the rest load when it opens for real. We are wanting a Monday and that's not showing right now. Also not showing breakfasts as options.

Yeah I noticed no breakfast options after 9/2 :( I hope that changes!
 
Thanks, yeah this not everyday thing is sort of a deal breaker for us. I was wanting a Monday. So unless those open up, we will just have to do FP I guess.
 
I just booked the dining package for breakfast at tusker house in September.

Anybody know what time the 1st viewing is?
 
I have a question about ROL and ToL Awakenings timing. I'm messing around with Touringplans trying to get a good plan together and it shows that Awakenings starts at 8:40 and ends at 9 and then ROL starts at 9:15. Awakenings is only shown for 20 minutes?? Doesn't sound right at all! And with that timing, even with a dining package or FP+ you really couldn't see both shows. Is TP way off on this?

I've never used TP planners so thought I'd give it a shot and so far I'm just really confused with it, lol. Love TP for lots of other reasons though!
 
I tried booking for the week we're there in August, nothing available at all. Not until over a week after we're gone, first date I saw an available time is Aug 22. Is it really booked solid this far in advance if they just opened the booking window today?

(And I checked regular Tusker House reservations and there are plenty of tables and times available for the exact date and times we would want for the ROL dining package)

More info/update: I called and the CM could not even see the available bookings I was able to see on my computer for the later dates in August, and obviously saw nothing available for the date I was looking for. I'll keep checking, maybe a glitch or scheduling issues. (Or just maybe they're booked)
