11/25/09 There have been several changes to the Picnic in the Park process. You will be able to order until 2:30 daily. Tier 1 picnics will now be picked up from DinoBites, located near Restaurantosaurus. Tier 2 will now offer rotisserie chicken and will be picked up from Kusafiri Coffee Shop near Tusker House restaurant. You will now be able to create a grab and go bag at Beastly Bazaar witha choice of sandwiches, bags of potato chips, desserts and water.

As far as I recall Tier 2 already did offer rotisserie chicken, so I am assuming that means they will be offering only rotisserie chicken and are discontinuing the ham.

I am wondering if they are offering it whole instead of in pieces.

Thanks for posting this info. It's good to know now as it puts a little wrinkle in our plans. We were planning to order a combination of tier 1 and tier 2 meals (you know, meal for 3 of tier 1 and then a separate meal for 2 of tier 2). That won't work very well if we can't pick them up at the same place. hmmmm. . .

Can't figure how they'd portion a whole chicken. One chicken for two people? How many chickens for three people? Or five people? Those chickens are usually pretty small but I don't think they're a single serving.

Maybe the previously offered chicken wasn't rotisserie, but I thought it was when I ate it, that was the whole point behind picking it up at Kusafiri - the chickens are cooked at Tusker House.

I'll take a ride over in the next couple of days and see what I can find out.

I'll probably be there on the 4th myself...Fortunately I was not planning on getting ham, and a whole chicken might be cool but then I might have to fight my friends over the white meat.

I'm now picturing families tearing apart the chicken themselves. Chaos ensues.

i'm totally confused. we were planning on doing the sandwiches,etc. is that now a "grab and go?" or, do we still order it?
