Rumors of Light (ROL discussion thread)

I was able to book a package for TS - the email shows Tusker house- jungle book first show dinner. But when I go to MDE under reservations or dining our reservation only shows Tusker house ...no mention of dinner show . Does anyone else not see the dinner show mentioned in their MDE when they look at their Tusker House reservation? Or those that book F! Is this also the case?

I would print that email and bring it with you just in case

My MDE shows the show. Print out the Email and call now to confirm. I did hear about a lot of glitches.

Have you heard anything related with the tips being included in the Pkg? if so it's a better option than the ADR + FP+ or ADR+show up.

Do you know if the are they included in the Fantasmic Dining Package? I just reserved one and it wasn't obvious from the website. Thanks!

 

[Jobelly]

I don't think tips are included in either package.

It won't show in the app, but should on the website. Where are you looking?

I don't think it's included in the F! package. They are not included with the dining plan either. We had the package for Mama Melrose's and I tipped accordingly. But then we also had an awesome server so if he was tipped twice, he deserved it

The only place I wasn't sure to tip was BOG for lunch. I know it's considered QS but we had a nice waitress in the Beast's study that did much more than just bring the food (e.g. helped with finding a booster seat for my DD3, pointed us in direction for the cuttlery which I had completely overlooked, introduced us to the rundown that drinks were free - which I didn't know - and we were welcome to take some to go...). I didn't leave a tip because no one else did but I was really unsure if that was the right thing to do. When we scored our same day lunch ADR for BOG (how lucky can you get!!!), nobody left a tip either so again I didn't leave one. But then our server that time wasn't as attentive as the one the week before.

I think tips are only included in the CRT meals. They are not included in any of the dining packages that I have ever seen.

Me either.

Thanks everyone. I was able to get a FP for JB so, I guess I'll stick with the regular ADR at TH. When I called, I got the same answer that they were unable to convert to a JB pkg.

We leave tomorrow! This has certainly been one of the more stressful Disney vacations to plan with so much uncertainty. This has been such a fun group to follow, and I thank all of you for the laughs as well as sharing information.

ETA: On a whim, I decided to try one last time to get the TH JB pkg, and I DID!! I was so shocked that a 4:05 and 6:30 time both showed up for my party of 5 on 5/29. After 2 straight days of constantly checking my persistence has paid off. I was able to switch my JB FP back to Kali River!

Now if we can catch Frozen Ever After in soft openings all of my Disney dreams will come true. I know that's a long shot, but a girl can dream, right?

Do we know if seating is the same for FP JB and ADR package JB?

Re Tips: Price info notes that JB Package cost does not include tax and gratuity.
Re Seating: Only info I've seen states that the entrance for FP will be in Asia and Dining package/standby in DinoLand. However, once beyond entrance, there is no further information I've seen.

I have a question about Tiffins payment (Non-JB Dining package). Anyone heard or read whether Tiffins will take the Tables in Wonderland card for regular dining? I know it takes the 2 table credits for both the JB Dining package and non-JB ADR.

Off topic - they just opened Star Wars dessert parties for every night for the last 2 weeks of June. Looks like fireworks will be nightly from the 17th on.

I keep checking for July...nothing. If they changed the end of June to nightly dessert parties, why not the summer months too? It's the last thing I need to book!

From @OhioStateBuckeye 's thread on the Theme Park main page
Jungle Book Show Seating:

Asia (by Expedition Everest): Guests with FastPass+ entitlements should enter on this side. Stroller parking is planned to be by the Siamang exhibit.

DinoLand U.S.A. (by Finding Nemo – The Musical): Dining packages (when applicable) and standby seated Guests should enter this side. Stroller parking is at the same location that’s used for Finding Nemo- The Musical.

The theater will open to Guests 90 min prior to the first show.

I thought from the photos the Fp+ looks better view but I know having done both at fantasmic the dining package area is much better.

I have a FP so as long as I get a decent seat I will be happy.

I'm not sure what they do when a new restaurant opens. I have also heard this is the last year for TiW. Ours lasts more like 13.5 months rather than 12 and think it might have something to do with them not "making" more. I certainly would call since they do cover other 2 TS credit meals like CRT.

 

[disfamz]

After hours is no more? I was actually willing to pay the AP/DVC price for our next trip since everyone has been saying how awesome it is. DANG!

Is that right?!? That would absolutely STINK.
