I think some folks were hoping for a preview leading up to 4/22....which we still may get.

I spoke to a CM through dining late tonight and she read me the e-mail that was sent out to CMs. Much of the information has been already discussed on this thread, eg, ROL starting on 4/22, and a lot of "coming soon" statements. But, the e-mail confirmed there will be a premium preview night saying it was on 4/15. The rest of the wording concerning the 4/15 premium preview night was rather confusing. It mentioned exclusivity to DVC members, AP holders & Florida residents. So not clear if there are two showings on this night or one with restrictions. The e-mail also mentioned two preview nights open to the public - 4/16 & 4/17. As to FP+ availability, it said this would be available but did not give a date as to when you could start securing these FP+. Here is the other big news in the e-mail. You can start booking dining packages on March 11th.

Could someone tell me how, in the event that all the information is available, one would go about booking the dining package from the website? Do I just go to the restaurant being offered and it will come up? Is there a special place to go that has all dining package options? Do I have to find the ROL information and there will be a link?

I appreciate the help, I can't seem to figure out how to get any dining packages to come up (was not interested in one until now so I didn't do my research and now I'm lost!)

As a test:
Look on the dining choices for "Fantasmic Dinner Package."
That, as a separate choice, comes up.

I am assuming that "Rivers of Light Dinner Package" will pop up as a separate choice when it becomes available.

If you search on the website, not the app, for the Fantasmic! package it shows up like this. It didn't give the option on the app. You can always call too.

On the HUB it says that the preview nights are April 16th and 17th. Maybe they are adding the 15th for media? I'm hoping it's an AP preview event, that would be awesome

Crossing fingers and toes for an event that includes AP on any date but 4/16. I just booked Club Villain for that night. I guess if the ROL event started late enough we can get in both but I'd rather not try. I'll give up Club Villain for ROL though

 

[smitch425]

Lots of Facebook posts also stating March 11 as the date for ADRs. Good luck, everyone. I'm holding out for a FP.

I am going to miss the AP event by a week so here is to hoping for a dining package for May!

 

[jimim]

ok so all the assuming going on is for possible dinner packages for tusker house only still? I'm seeing possible ADR date of March 11th to maybe start booking?

No talk of Fast passes for the show yet though?

Wait Club Villian has April dates?! That's good news!

Do ADRs start at midnight on that date (so I would stay up late on the 10th), or is there a time in the morning on 3/11 that I'd need to start looking?

Thanks!

According to what was posted earlier in this thread there are two additional dining options with the ROL dining package, Tiffins (new restaurant) and Flame Tree BBQ.

Yes they opened for booking over night, through May, 2 shows on Saturday only

Earlier in the thread 6 a.m. was the indicated time that ADR's normally start, but this is a little different situation so nobody is 100% for sure.
