Sorry to start another thread !! ( really) but found this info and didn't want it to get buried !

Looks like packages will start on 5/1 -- ( did not see any booking date yet) and " Flame Tree BBQ" will also be an option ( with "Tiffins" the 3rd option most likely)

Showtimes may be found on the online calendar , the My Disney Experience app and the Times Guide at Disney’s Animal Kingdom park.
The Rivers of Light Show is subject to change or cancellation without notice. Dining packages will not be refunded due to show cancellation or modification.
 
FlameTree BBQ is a surprise. That's not a bad deal if all that is included.
From the description sounds like viewing is a side and not head on like Fantasmic, or at least in my mind.

Love the flame tree option !!!
 
I'm curious when this will start being available for ADRs. We are going mid May and would love to try it the Tusker House option

I've seen some rumors that booking might begin next week ----- A Donald Duck error has been appearing when ppl are trying to book Adrs ( which given the Disney website probably doesn't mean much!) , and some are speculating that these new options are being loaded.
 
o_O one week too late for my trip. fingers are crossed that we'll get to see the show anyways!
 
Me too!!!!

So.... since you normally can't make an ADR I wonder how it works on arrival. You think a designated register...
 
This is awesome info, thank you! I think it's great they are offering a CS option! Looking forward to hearing if they are doing something with Tiffin's!

Love the CS option ! Don't get me wrong --- like Tusker House, but with 2 little ones, the $11.99 option at FTB is a great choice to have ! From what I was told, there will be (3) dining options -- Tiffins being # 3
 
Will they be accepting the DDP? Would FTB be considered a QS or TS for this event? Also, would TH be still a 1 credit?
 
I wonder if Flame Tree seating will be like the Aladdin's Oasis Fantasmic package compared to the Blue Bayou/River Belle Terrace package at DisneyLand - you just get a normal fast pass for the show and not dedicated seating like Tusker or Tiffens might have.

Exactly what I was thinking!
 
How is this booked? Do you book it as a fast pass or just "get it" when you book a ADR at the right time?

What time does the ROL start?

I'm wondering g the same thing...
 
I soooo would love to see the FTB option being offered with a CS credit on the DP, as I don't want to give up Boma for dinner that night. It is one of my favorites!
 
Interesting idea for a late Lunch at Flame Tree Barbecue to get the FP + for Rivers of Light. I'm very tempted to book this when this gets opened. I wonder when we will be able to start booking these packages. I would think it would be pretty soon with the announcement of opening date for ROL coming any week now.
 
Looks like I may have to change my ADRs again...I also would like to know how it'll work for FTB and the DDP.
 
I'm wondering if you truly can pick your sides at FT. I don't care for coleslaw or baked beans. If I could get fries and fresh fruit though, it would be worth the $22 price tag pp. We have the dining plan so paying OOP Is a downer for us.

I would rather just use a FP if that option was available.
