RoL dining package-Tiffins

[Surgie2]

I'll be visiting in later January and while I can make ADRs this week, there are no dates for the Tiffins RoL dining package after October. Hoping some will eventually be available in January.

What time were the shows when RoL started last winter? Somewhere I thought I saw 6:30 pm in February. If same is true for January, does that mean I need to have a "dinner" reservation by 3:30 at Tiffins in order to get the dining/show package?

The show opened in February, 2017, so there is nothing to compare.

AK hours are currently 9am-7pm in December. Disney has yet to announce the times, but RoL may get scheduled to begin (I'm guessing) at 6:30pm, 7pm, or as late as 7:30pm (yes, shows can begin when a Park is closed).

Then Disney accounts for the time you'd need to eat 3-courses and arrive prior to Show Time.

So yes, you'd be eating 'dinner' mid-afternoon.

You can even have breakfast/lunch and Tusker House and come back in evening.

And that's the point of these 'free' show tickets - to fill otherwise empty seats at restaurants.

I know that with the dinner package if I go to Tusker House the menu is the same I just pay more. How does it work with Tiffins? Is there a set price?

Thanks so much for the information.

The October packages opened in mid June. They're not on any kind of predictable schedule so you just have to keep stalking the reservation page, but I wouldn't expect January to open until November--late October at the earliest. The show times have to be loaded first.

And yes, once they open, the latest available time at Tiffins will be three hours ahead of the first show time. I got that reservation for 4:30 October 19 on the day it opened by checking the page first thing every morning.

I can't believe how long Nov is taking to be released. My 180 was back in May.

NOVEMBER! Where are you? It's rumors of light all over again...
