Do you really think that the CS credit on the dining plan will not be accepted?

Will it be as hard to get a reservation as BOG?

You must be able to use the dining plan, right, similar to F! packages? I wonder if FTB Package will be TS credit instead of CS since it includes entree and 3 sides? If this will be a CS credit, than yeah, I think it'll be a hard ADR to get.

The Disney Parks blog answered a question and said there would be fastpass. I'm not sure if we can absolutely believe that, but it was said.

Have they said anything about dining packages? Never mind I found a post a few pages back talking about the dining package.

Anybody know were they hare going to hold the Jungle Book?

It is going to be in the ROL stadium by EE. It's just a stop gap measure until they can get ROL fixed.

there's 0 info on the HUB about the Jungle book show. Only what I've posted here. I check every day so as soon as I see something I'll let you guys know

Thank you @yulilin3! You are so very helpful!

Odd that they mention South America in the dining and music ads. Is there anything latin america related in AK? Am I missing an obvious one? Looking forward to experiencing all this stuff on our next visit. Hopefully Avatarland will be open by then.

I love the art of those posters. I'm so excited for all the new AK night stuff!

not sure what your question is exactly.
They have animals from all around the world. The Oasis and Discovery Islands have the most animals that come from Latin America. Viva Gaia is a band that has been playing at Discovery Island with a latin flare.

Jungle Book show is getting DINING PACKAGES:

Flame Tree BBQ Counter Service:
Prices: Adult: $23.42, Child: $12.77 $$ ($15 to $34.99 per adult)

So I'm confused on the pricing. Is it a set price of $23.42 or does the adult price vary from $15 - $34.99?

It's a set price. It happens to fall in the "$$" (two dollar sign) category. The range is for the "$$" category, not this specific meal.

Well drat, if Tiffin's isn't going to have a package I guess we won't be trying it this trip after all

Info coming May 20.

In a personal phone call from a Disney manager?

Sorry for the snark, but I'm getting deja vu right now from RoL.

I'll believe all of this when it's officially announced.

I'm so excited for dining packages coming out soon! Mainly for TH. So, my questions aren't from negativity; I promise. Just trying to understand? Esp since FT is my fave CS, Im kinda concerned thinking how it could operate like an ADR and walk up at the same time? All the extra bodies eating there for the cheap dining package only, vs those who love the place regardless. Is this the end of FT being a true CS, and turned into another BOG instead? The main reason I love CS is not having to be locked into a set time, and chosen 6 months in advance for a "spot" Also, since it seems like Disney is basically robbing themselves if the prices are correct for FT, will there not be any seating or show time advantage for the TS package; even though it costs more? Again, I am truly excited. Just nervous this might spell the end of FT as we love it.

Pretty sure they officially announced that info would be available on DPB on May 20...

Share your thoughts on the evening safari. I started with a FP in the 8:15-9:15 window then wondered if it might be too dark to see much so I moved it to 7:30-8:30 but now I'm questioning if that will be too light and therefore not really different from a day safari. ACK!!

Going mid-June so I know sunset is pretty late...what are guesses on timing? (also hoping to see Jungle Book in the same evening with a dinner package so I need enough time to get from one to the other but not a ridiculous amount of waiting in line. Would prefer the second show I think, what times are being estimated for these?)

What say your crystal balls?
