Who has used the VKL vouchers at RFC for DINNER?

[JessetheCowgirl]

Hi, all!

We are getting so excited that our trip is nearing

I have heard that the VKL vouchers can be used at the Rainforest Cafe at AK for dinner instead of lunch since the menu is the same.

Has anyone had problems with this? I just made our dinner PS and would be so disappointed if they wouldn't accept our VKL vouchers.

Thank you!

The latest we used them was around 3 and that was no problem.

We used our VKL at the RFC at around 4 pm during December. They were willing to accept the voucher during that time period. Our server was not one of those I read about so often here on the boards who is informative. She gave us no assistance when we were ordering and acted rather disinterested with us when she found out that we would be using vouchers to pay for our meal. We ordered an extra volcano dessert that was not included with our voucher, and that was all we spent extra on the meal.

I guess I'm having a negative posting day. Sorry. I just think we may have had a server who was having a bad day, or maybe they just aren't too crazy about seeing people show up with these vouchers anymore. I was so excited to get to show my husband what a value the vouchers were. Instead, my husband said we should have just ordered and paid for our meal. I think we would have gotten better service.

This was over the course of two trips, in Oct '03 and Sept '04. All three times we had ressies close to park closing time (5 and 5:15) and not once did we have any sort of problem. The wait staff was very helpful, but the best use of the vouchers was this past Sept, when our waitress was especially knowlegeable about the vouchers, and RFC has some special combo dishes. In Oct '03, we shared one VKL between DH, DD2 (was 1 at the time), and I. We shared the steak and lobster, with the upgraded steak. I believe it came with vegetables and rice, plus we had the crab dip appetizer and cheesecake for desert, with a soda. We had the same thing the second time we ate there on the same trip. In Sept '04, we used one children's and one adult's VKL ( we also had DD11 with us), and we shared a steak & shrimp, and a steak & ribs combo. We had both steaks upgraded, got soup add ons to both, had a big frostee type drink in a kid's souvie mug, a coke, the sampler appetizer, cheesecake and chocolate cake for desert. We didn't even come close to finishing everything. It was delicious. We left extra tip for the servers every time.

That's what I'm talking about, frann.

We were not offered anything, nor was our server helpful at all when we were ordering. She didn't offer us any "upgrades" or explain to us how we could best use the vouchers. I tried asking several questions about the menu, and how it would relate to the use of the vouchers, but she truly gave me the impression that she could have cared less what we ordered or whether we were in the restaurant in the first place.

I do have to say that everyone enjoyed the atmosphere of this place, and they especially got a kick out of the volcano desserts.

RFC is at the entrance to AK. So, you can eat there without entering the park, if wanted. There is another RFC at Downtown Disney, but that location does not take Priority Seatings.

The vouchers are from hotwiresavingclub.com. Check the "everything you wanted to know about meal vouchers" sticky thread at the top of this board.

Thank you everyone for your help!! I guess we will keep the dinner PS and hope that we can in fact use our "lunch" vouchers

Frann, did you get an appetizer, entree, beverage, dessert AND soup?
