Rumors of Light (ROL discussion thread)

[sunshinemelody]

I've seen more than a few tables of people make a scene at H&V for fantasmic tix when they claimed ignorance & just booked a dinner vs the pkg, not a pretty sight. Don't want to be 'that' person.

Oh no.

This could be the holdup----- Installation of additional seating

When I search for a dinner reservation on the Disney site it is showing the table service and quick service restaurants. It never did that before huh? It never gave me the quick service before I dont think

 

[sunshinemelody]

We are in the "like to eat at breakfast at BOG" group. I don't think about the cost any more than I think about the cost of ANY meal at Disney. I go because I like it, not to get in early or any other reason.

It's my boyfriend's first time and I was really wanting that early BOG, we ended up with a Crystal Palace (WINNIE THE POOH!), but idk, I can't wrap my head around the pricing!

It does depending on the method you use to search.
There are 2 ways, one returns ONLY restaurants that accept reservations (Make Reservations) and the other returns all restaurants (All Dining)

Love CP breakfast!

Had we wanted to spend the money (we were paying OOP) we may have kept our BOG reservation back in November. But we were staying at the Poly and my fiancé found his one true love (never mind me), some kind of magical breakfast burrito for $7.99. He declared that "we can just eat here tomorrow instead" and I jumped at that opportunity. I did think the open faced breakfast sandwich sounded delicious, though.

Q: with the monitoring of ROL packages, do you think it would be smart for me to just wait like I had suggested earlier? I'd rather not be bogged on the phone, but now I'm nervous that when they come out that everyone going in 5 months will jump on it quicker than I desire to do so.

We aren't going until September and I want to book Flame Tree BBQ if it's offered. My plan is to try online and not call, but then I never call for dining reservations. If I can't get it to work online, I'll hand it over to my TA and tell her what we're looking for.

I had to call about another ADR I have booked, so I figured I'd ask about RoL too. Sigh.

I spoke with a lovely CM named Maggie. Maggie sounded like she was about 102. She had never heard of Rivers of Light and wondered if perhaps I meant World of Color, because her daughter and grandkids just saw that and it was wonderful! I told her that no, WoC was at Disneyland, RoL was at Animal Kingdom, and I was curious about dinner packages for the show. She said she thought she might have gotten an email about that, but she "often has trouble with emails." Then she asked if she could put me on hold and promptly hung up on me.

Oh, Maggie.....

Yeah, we're going then, too. I don't want to call, but if they're not available online, I'll probably do it.

Wait for what? If/when the packages come out I would book one. I am hoping to do it online like F!

Hmm my usual way is click make reservations then click the park I want, date and time. Ok just tried again and it is not showing quick service.

Bahahahaha......ok this is, by far, the best call in yet! Maggie rocks!!! lol

I just went there and did not see any counter service restaurants under "Make Reservations."

Tiffins is showing up under "All Dining" but not under "Make Reservations."

 

[maryj11]

Maybe I was in all dining lol

If you see only three (Rainforest, Tusker House and Yak & Yeti) you are in the RESERVE DINING section, otherwise, you are in the ALL DINING section

Maggie sounds delightful! And as much as I'd love chatting with her when the answer is truly that it's NOT open for booking, I'd have to exercise tremendous patience if it DID open, and when I called in I reached Maggie. As lovely as she sounds. My nerves couldn't take it at this point!
