I joined the other day just to follow this thread. I just called and all I got was we don't have any information at this time. I am 41 days out and planning for 11 people. So frustrating.

to the insanity!!

I have just spoken to Gemini who was very helpful on the UK number (sure it makes no difference what nunber you call). She told me that the booking of the disney dining packages for ROL has been postponed and they have no information on when they will be available. The advance previews are still going ahead but she is unaware of when they will be released for sale. Sorry its not new information, but corroborating previous posters.

And again, I am....

I wish I could have found yesterday!

If today comes and goes and nothing then I'm going to really count on you guys. I go back to work tomorrow with no internet and Special Dining events don't show up on my app.

This is a good place to keep an eye out for information, as well as the Disney Parks Blog.

Thank you! I am so afraid I am going to miss something. You all have been my go to place to check.

So what order are you planning on trying to get the Seats for ROL? I'm thinking:
1. Tusker Dinner ADR package (currently have one to convert if that's the case)
2. Flame Tree QS Package (if available)
3. Tiffins Dinner ADR package (if only 1 TS credit - right now cost preview looks same as TH)
4. FP+ if available.

I'm wondering what others strategies are!

Thank you to everyone who called & checked this morning. My asthma was acting up last night and I just couldn't get up with my alarm.

I wish there was a 'funny' option to click, haha.

ETA: Can we just convert regular ADRs to dining packages like you said @rsagusti & @Pixie Dust ✨? We have Tusker as well and I'd love to get ROL, but, don't want to bother if it's going to be a hassle and a half.

At this point:

1. Tusker House
2. Flame Tree BBQ
3. FP+
4. Tiffins

I can't place Tiffins on the list really until have seen their kid's menu.

Just read this article from a couple of days ago and it makes it seem like RoL will be very hard to get a seat for I've never seen the numbers presented like this regarding seating. Only 1/6 of daily guests will get seats per show...

Still hoping for a FP for 4/25, trying to keep positive

In keeping with our Star Wars theme, "Never tell me the odds!"

Unfortunately, you can't "convert". It's a new reservation. If you call, they will hold your old reservation until the new package reservation (with a new reservation #) is made. Then they will cancel the old one.

You can't "convert" a dining reservation to a dining package. So while it's a pain you'd have to cancel and rebook under the dining package as opposed to just a TH reservation.

My only choice for my April trip are preview packages. We leave on 4/19
But DH told me last night he is going through withdrawals (he is not going on the April trip) and that I need to plan another trip for us. So we'll be going back in May. For that trip

If Tiffins is opening at the same time I would prefer it as we'd want to try it out and we'd want to do RoL so it only makes sense to combine the 2.
So my order would be
Tiffins
Flame Tree
FP+
Tusker House

If Tiffin's isn't open/doing packages at the start it would be
Flame Tree
FP+
Tusker House

But really, I'll do whichever option comes first.

1. Tusker Dinner package - I have one I hope to convert (4/24)
2. Flame Tree BBQ (4/27) - my other son will be joining our trip on the 25th
3. FP+ - I am actually wondering how this will work/if it will work with DAS
4. Tiffins - I really don't have 2 credits to spare and with my DS8 I'm not sure this will be a good option

Our plan is a preview package on 4/16. We arrive 4/16 and leave 4/19. If there's any other options 4/17 or 4/18 I'd be OK with that but I have Narcoossee's for dinner on 4/18 and I don't think I'm willing to give that up. My fiance promised me if I did 15 workout classes in January that he'd take me to Narcoossee's.. and damn it, I earned that steak!
