Tiffins ROL Package reservation weirdness

[Moliphino]

I've been trying to get a Tiffins ROL package for my December trip, but for the week I'm there it just says "Please call 407-WDW-DINE to make a reservation". Literally every other date I check outside the week I'm there has tons of availability. I tried random dates in September, October, November, and the week before we arrive and the week after I leave and they all have multiple times to choose from. What is wrong with December 9-15?

Perhaps the restaurant will be going through a rehab. Did you call the dining number as it suggested?

There are non-package times available at Tiffins that week, so the restaurant is open. I've usually try to avoid phone calls at all costs, because I haaaate talking on the phone. I've just been checking periodically online so far.

I am logged in, but also well within 180 days at this point. 12/8 and 12/16 both show plenty of availability, but 12/9-12/15 is all "Please call...".

I'm going the same week.. I just tried as well and it said to call.. whomp whomp

I tried phoning this evening. There were no packages available even though other reservations were.

So strange. I could book one for today if I wanted to, but not that one week in December.

I am getting some times coming up for later in the week right now, but when I click on them to try to book it nothing happens. I really want it for Sunday 12/9, since it fits in best with my plans, but no luck there.

I was going to recommend phoning but I can see that isn't the answer you are looking for. Have you considered a FP+ for ROL. When we were there in May they were quite easy to get.

I was just about to post.. I also have been trying for 12/9 but wound up switching my AK AMD HS days.. so I booked it on the 12th....which has also been sold out for past few weeks. Good luck!!

I managed to get one for the 12th, too. It means we'll be getting to MK rather later than originally planned, but it's open until 11 that night so we should have a good amount of time there anyway.

I like the Tiffins dining package over a FP+ because it gets me a bonus appetizer (we'll be on the regular DDP, so wouldn't get an appetizer with a non-package meal).

I was just able to book for December 10 for 4 people. There were multiple times available. I wonder if they released some.
