Tusker and Nemo Reserved package

[scatmanjack]

Is there still an option for a meal at Tusker House in the Animal Kingdom that includes reserved seating at the Nemo show? If so, is it just lunch or can breakfast count as well?

Anything like this in the other parks with other shows- besides Fantasmic! package...???

Yes, it is lunch at Tusker. Everyone with a ADR at the right time gets the reserved seating, you don't need to have a special package. But, the ADR has to be for certain times. When you go to make the ADR, read the terms and conditions, the details with the times are in there.

Its a great deal. Lunch from 1:00-1:45pm adr will get you early entry via separate entrance to 3pm Nemo show(not sure if its 3 or 3:30pm, sorry). We have done this the last 2 xmas week trips and its the only way we will go to Nemo(will not stand in stand-by line for an hour, sorry). The show is wonderful, you enter the theatre about 1/2 way up the stand-by line-there is a stand board designating the package entrance. You enter before the stand-by folks and have the right side front of the theatre to yourself until the others enter. We had amazing seats took lots of pictures. Meal at Tuskers is very good with lots of choices (buffet, but good quality)and its nice break from CS stuff at AK.

ps you can do this online when you make regular adrs. If you choose the stated times at Tusker House, it will tell you about the package.

Yes, lunch reservation between 1-1:45 will automatically get you tickets for the 3:15 Nemo show. I recommend that you make your reservation close to 1 PM. If they are seating late as it happened on our day (1:10 res, seated at 1:30) the people with 1:45 reservations would have to eat pretty quickly and then race over to the other end of the park to the Nemo theater in Dinoland.

If your server forgets to give you the tickets be sure to ask for them. You will need them to get into the theater.

There's also reservations starting around 2 for a later Nemo show.

There are no Nemo show packages for the breakfast hours.

Other than Fantasmic and Candlelight Processional in Nov/Dec I don't know of any other dining & show packages in the parks. There are the Hoop de Doo and Spirit of Aloha dinner shows at the resorts.

Keep an eye on the time, and know that you are supposed to be at the preferred seating line 30 minutes before the show. We ate nice and slow, and by the time we got out we had to race to the theater. We were too late for preferred, but the normal side was seating, so we went in there. Had way better seats than the preferred people did (at least on that day), because they were down lower towards "orchestra" level seating, and we were higher. Since there are elements of the show throughout the theater, the further away seats were better, for us at least.


So the package was a nice idea, but didn't work for us and we were glad for it.

I wanted to go to Tusker House anyway, so this was a great incentive. They even let us choose what showing we wanted to go to... so we didn't have to rush over when we were done with lunch.

I just switched to the Tusker House for lunch from The Yak and Yeti. We're also doing the Tusker House for breakfast that day. Now, to just get a FP to The Festival of the Lion King!

There are no FP for the Lion King show. I think they briefly tried FPs for the shows, but no longer.

xmas week 2009-10 they did have FP for FOLK and it was just as crazy, now there were 2 lines waiting for the show and such a bottleneck in the pathway to all the character nooks that it was horrible. CM with ear pieces everywhere, but crowd control was out of control. We did get in on standby but were seated in the very highest row....love this show, but by-passed it the xmas week trip...too crazy.
