hmm checking my Android App and its not there although the app just updated today so maybe that glitch was removed. I hit my 60 day mark tonight at midnight so would be nice if it showed for fast pass or on dining res.

I'll have to ask if she updated her app or not....

There is probably going to be an official announcement of opening date before they release these to book. Something this big will have more of a fanfare announcement.

When the announced the official opening of 7DMT it was less than 30 days out, and you could book FP+ starting that night.

Mine is showing and is upgraded. The interface changed so it's really obvious when it's upgraded. It looks very different when you click Dining

 

[jrmasm]

Really? I can't see it. Do you mind telling me the steps of what you did to access it?

Dining
I'm using a date in June
Click on Tusker House when the choices come up
View Menu

I can see the ROL options in the drop down blue menu at the top of the next screen.

We are doing a short trip April 18th-23rd so we would be ecstatic if it opened that week!

Mine is 3.3.1, updated 2/22/16

Remember, it's only showing under the list of Menu's, not choices for ADR

Here is what I've heard. April 18th grand opening for the show. Rivers of light dining packages at Tusker House but possibly expanding to other restaurants as well. You can book a breakfast lunch or dinner to get the option. What surprises me is that they will do three shows in one night but they are expecting large crowds.

 

[Angel Ariel]

All three meals, that is a lot of people ... and it's been discussed it may be offered at the new restaurant and if there why not Yak & Yeti as well?

Given I'm not overly wowed by the amount of seating for this show .... if they add FP+ to all of this .... is the show going to end up shutting out standby?

I would not be surprised if the seating area is dining package/FP+ only. I've had that thought for a while now, and the limited amount of seating they show..I don't see how they can offer dining package spots, FP+ spots, and standby spots in those seating areas.

 

[AngiTN]

I'd give anything for an AP preview a few days before that
I'm taking my Mom on her first trip April 13-19

Maybe it will be like WOC at DCA? Where they do allow some standby in but they have less than prime viewing areas, unless there is room left over in the Dining Package or FP areas. Like SRO at a show I suppose

Thanks. I tried it but it didn't work for me. Maybe I have a newer or older version of the app.

Oh, I'm sure. I'm really hoping they announce soon, with them blocking the dates for CMs and now this "glitch" showing up. But it is Disney...so who knows.

From what I can tell from pictures, the WOC is much bigger, and people can pick up FPs same day without it impacting their ability to get other FPs (the WOC machines are disconnected from the rest of the system). So while it's not "standby", it is very much same day availability, walk up to the machine any time during the day (before they run out, obviously, but it's not like that happens quickly) and pick up a FP for it. I don't think the experience at AK is going to be anything like that at all.

ah that makes ense now. I was looking under ADR I see it now under menus

I've heard there is supposed to be a preview starting 4/16...just not sure for whom....

 

[ajwolfe]

You will probably still have to change it over to the new package...just like H&V has regular ADR and F! pkg ADR. The F! pkgs book up very quickly so I am worried about missing out on RoL. Just gonna have to stalk....unless Disney makes a timely announcement about all of this.

Thanks for the reminder, but I know I'll have to switch it...But I'm glad that I already made that ADR to begin with because the family going with us wanted to eat there and I'm sure it will be a much harder ADR to get after they announce all the packages for sure.

Do you think the dining packages will start right away? Our trip isn't until June but I would like to book ASAP, for obvious reasons. I wonder if booking will start as soon as they make the ROL announcement. Ugh, I'm so impatient!
