ROL Dining Packages - November

[JJ2017]

Why aren't they out yet!??? I make FPs on Saturday and I was really hoping to have my answer on this. Last time this happened was last year when I was trying to book a FoF dining package and no dates were showing. Turns out it had to do with the Christmas Parade Taping going on the week I was going. Anyone have insight??

Disney has been getting later and later with their "advance" postings.

At least the dates are blue now - no availability for end of December, though. This is the last extra reservation I need to be able to see all of the night time entertainment while we are there (without using fastpasses). I hope this is just a case of the packages haven't gone live yet instead of they have all been reserved.

OOOH!!! You just gave me hope. I was told the dates load, but then take a couple of days to show the availability. At least that is something. THANKS!

I was just able to book a Dec. 27 ROL dining package at Tusker House!! The last of the pieces has fallen into place. Now let's hope I can get Fastasses for what I want when my booking window opens in October.

Just tried to book Tusker House for Nov 30, but no luck! Is it because there is no availability at the restaurant or is it because the ROL package booking isn't quite ready yet?

Actually, I just tried Dec 2 and was able to book the package. So, I guess that there is simply no availability at TH for my Nov 30 date.

But at least people can now book, if available. At last!

Good luck everyone!

I am really frustrated b/c I have been watching for this for months. I saw the dates load yesterday but nothing could be booked. Woke up this morning and checked at 6:30 am and have continually checked and nothing has been available for 11/9. If all got booked up overnight, that is just ridiculous. I can't call b/c they are only taking calls about Irma (rightfully so). I do have a Tusker reservation for that day at 12;40. Any chance they can change it to the package for me?

The issue is that they didn't seem to hold back any reservations for TH for the known RoL dates. So everyone booked TH not wanting to wait anymore for the release of RoL Dining Packages. It's possible to call, but essentially, they just cancel your existing reservation and then it becomes available to be a dining pkg. However, anyone can snag it in the time it takes the CM to transfer it over to dining. So you run the risk of losing the original reservation and still not getting RoL.

Is there a benefit to this if you don't mind using a FP on ROL? Is the seating substantially better, etc.?

Believe it or not I just got one. Wow, this stresses me out too much, ha ha! First day back at work (school) and I'm hiding in my office obsessively checking ROL packages!

ME TOO!!! Exactly the time I wanted too! I'm so excited!!!

From what I understand, no. We wanted to eat at Tusker House anyway, so we wanted the dining package.
