Rivers of Light August

[jods]

Yeah, I saw this thread had been bumped up and was hoping it was because someone was reporting that they were available!
Based on the packages for earlier months, would you say that a Tiffins ROL reservation will be less "in demand" than Tusker House? I'm hoping that is the case. I will be leaving on another vacation in about a week and I will have very limited internet access--so I won't be able to check for ADRs for about 2 weeks. With my luck, I'm sure the ROL packages for August will come available during that time and I will miss out.

Sorry I got you excited! I'm just anxious to get everything done.

When will Pandora open? I'm so far out of the loop....

Also, if anyone gets a reservation for July/August ROL would you please post here?

I will post here as soon as I hopefully get a ROL package. I don't know the exact date Pandora is supposed to be opening but its supposed to be open for my trip in august. I read it somewhere, when I remember I will post it.

I think it opens May 27 or around there. I'm also looking for an August ADR so I keep checking here and MDE obsessively

I will need an August ADR as well, and now that I realize that characters are also at TH dinner, this may be an option for us....two birds with one stone.

That's my concern as well. Tying up fastpasses for the day. We weren't planning on TH but I booked an adr in the hopes of getting one for ROL. Too many fastpass choices now with pandora. Do we know if there will be tiers yet in AK?

Booking a ticket ADR now won't help toy get a rol package. You'll have to make a new ADR when the package is available and cancel your current tusker adr. They can't just add the package to a regular adr

I know but I'm hoping if I have an adr and then cancel and immediately book the package it will open up or kind of hold an avaliable time.

When was the last time they released ROL dates? I've been checking everyday and I am trying to understand the pattern...have you been releasing dates two months prior, one month at a time, etc?

Every time this gets bumped, I get excited...and then.... sad.....

Lol. I felt that way at first but now I just assume they aren't out yet.

Yep. Once this is released I can finally stop worrying about my ADRs...

And I can start worrying about my FPs.

To answer the above question, the current dates of package availability was released all on the same day. So we don't have a pattern.

Which is why so many of us are checking multiple times every day...

this is how it worked with the F! package when I booked it last summer for december. I had a 4:30 H&V backup and when F! packages came available I could not get the 4:30 so I booked a 3:45... after releasing the 4:30 regular H&V, the 4:30 H&V with package came available and I grabbed it. Kind of annoying they can't just convert a regular ADR to a package, it would solve a lot of issues! Because they are not necessarily (in my experience) holding back inventory for the packages and they are dragging their feet at releasing them.

YES! This is the last thing I need to get!!!

So it appears that the dates have opened up (aren't grated out on the calendar) but there are no times available or my dates or any others I checked? Anyone else trying and having the same experience?

Yes, the same thing is happening to me. I had the same thing happen with Cape May breakfast at my 180 + 10 mark (and I know Cape May doesn't book up that fast). It ended up taking a few weeks and then, every date/time was suddenly available. I know that ROL is going to be an extremely difficult package to get but, I am hoping that it is a similar situation where even though it is no longer grayed out on the dining calendar, that it is still not "active to book". Going to cross my fingers and toes and keep trying in the next hours, days, weeks, and hope that I get lucky! Looking forward to hear if others are having the same experience or have been able to book it!Good luck to all!
