Rumors of Light (ROL discussion thread)

Aladdin's Oasis for Fantasmic at Disneyland is also a prix fixe quick service package.

Isn't that what BOG's breakfast basically is? Curious question!

Breakfast and Lunch

 

[michelepa]

I just called and there is nothing new to report

-but initially my heart did skip a beat when I asked about the ROL packages and CM said "she could only book the premium package on April 15th or the Preview package for April 16th." WHAT???!!!


But alas she said "yes these packages went on sale April 12th". Ohhhh.

I then asked to see if she could book me into one of the packages and she said "oh wait there have been some "enhancements" so I need to relog in.

Then she said she was "sorry that now ROL was not showing up on her screen at all".

She then looked at the April calendar and said "sorry there is nothing listed for ROL".

And then she said "wait I just got an email from a Sr. Disney cast member".

Then she said, "oh sorry the email says that ROL is not booking yet but when it does you will be able to book online and if you can't get through then call the dining line.

Prix fixe = every head that goes through the door pays the same amount.

BOG is not prix fixe; a party of five can order a single cupcake (or a Mickey Straw) at breakfast or lunch, if they so choose.

Well the actual breakfast (cupcakes aren't breakfast) are all the same price. That's what I meant.

What in the world! Lol. In your first few sentences I thought "OMG should I call!?" hahaha, so sorry she was so confused.. I hope we see something soon.

That sounds like one confusing call!

So, I'm at the office and can't tear myself away from this site.

Feels like an emotional test!! "How much can YOU take?!?!"

Theoretically, yes. But in practice since they don't make everyone who has an ADR get something then no it isn't. For it to truly be a prix fixe meal, everyone on the ADR would have to get a meal - none of this sharing silliness, or worse make an ADR for your whole party of 8 and get one coffee and one cupcake.

There was a holiday time Fantasmic package at DHS (distributed from Min and Bill's) that was counter service and a fixed price, so it's not without precedent. If you didn't buy a meal, you didn't get the Fantasmic seating, so no incentive to share or buy one bottle of water for a party of 8 or any of that stuff.

I won't even get started on my opinion of that!

As much as they intended it to be prix fixe, a lot of people aren't acting like it.

That's not prix fixe - it's just a pricing strategy. (A bad one. )

Yes, another poster let me know (I already knew), but I presumed that since the entree breakfast portion were the same price across the board, that in essence it is still a prix fixe (unless of course others buy something different like juice, etc). But understandable.

Do the CMs have a TARDIS???? Or did this CM mean April 2th 2015?

 

[Bvcfourus]

Just got off the phone...still nothing. She said she has no idea when it will open. That was consistent with the call I placed
this morning. Michelepa you got quite the run around eh?

LOL definitely a bad one! $24 for egg whites? Boy, bye!

IF THEY DO CAN I RIDE IN IT PLS PLS PLS PLS

As much as they intended it to be prix fixe, a lot of people aren't acting like it.

And they aren't enforcing it. Guarantee you those pre-park opening breakfast ADRs wouldn't be so hard to get if they actually enforced the prix fixe intention - especially at $22 (or $24?) for a silly donut made from a croissant.

 

[COscrapper]

My ADR date isn't until May 2 for our Oct. 29 trip - sure hope this is all worked out by then, plus we have MNSSHP dates! Would love a tusker house package since we were planning on eating there anyway.

Just had to jump in and say this thread has been so much fun to follow haha! However, I do feel for you guys going in April/May! And Michelepa your post made me LOL (in a sympathetic way, of course!) - it's like they are toying with you!
