I'm curious how this will effect FPs for FOTLK or is it for specific show times.
We have lunch at NoonThanks for that updated info - what time is your lunch for the 3pm show? Was that the earliest show you were able to use the pass for?
They were for specific times. Lunch show choices were 3:00, 5:00 or 6:00, and lunch is the earliest meal served at Tiffins, so those are the earliest shows. I just looked up the times for 9/1 (the day we are going) and they end at 6:00, and there is one at 4:00, so I probably just didn't hear her offer that time.I'm curious how this will effect FPs for FOTLK or is it for specific show times.

3:00 was the earliest show I was offered a time for and that's what I took.

Is this one you have to pay for in advance?Ok, got in touch with DSS and got a little bit more details on it. No idea if this is part of why it's not booking online or not, but I had to tell her when I booked which time for FotLK show I wanted. There isn't really a way to do that online. So either that's what is keeping it from working online or that wasn't really necessary info for the booking and she just took it anyway.
At any rate, we are doing a lunch meal and could choose to do a 3:00, 5:00 or 6:00 Lion King show, with the Safari following that. After I picked the show we picked the lunch time. She had no problems with booking it once she got both pieces of that info. So, if it turns out they do need both times in order to book it, I wouldn't be surprised to learn this is something you have to call to book and they remove the ability to book online. But at the same time, I would be surprised to see they make you pick the show time before you dine. They don't do that with other show dining packages but those do take a lot more guests. So who knows.
ETA - Below is how it shows up in my MDE, so I do think you may well have to pick the show when you book and the current booking set up does not allow for this, which is surely why it's not currently working online
Tiffins - FOLK Tier 1 (3:00PM show) Lunch
No. Like most any other ADR or dinner package, just credit card holdIs this one you have to pay for in advance?

Tiffins - FOLK Tier 1 (3:00PM show) Lunch
We are going on 9/1. You'll have to come back and report what your thoughts areI have been wanting to try Tiffins (have only been to Nomad Lounge) and FOTL and Kilimanjaro Safari are also 2 of my top favorite attractions as well - so this package definitely sparked my interest. I also had problems booking online and ended up having to call to reserve. I got the same times as you - 3:00 show/12:00 lunch. What date are you going? We are going 8/13, I am excited!
Its about value and value is subjective. Some will see value in this and others not. I find value in the Tiffins Rivers of Light dining package so I do that. Others don't find value in that.It's ALWAYS about actual math and money to me, and many others.
They have that info on the package page@AngiTN - did you get any more info on what the safari is like and how it's special?
We've got Tiffins ROL booked right now but I can see cancelling that and adding this for the safari portion since my 3 kiddos are mostly too little to extra safari stuff. If it was more than just the regular KS that is.

You have the normal Safari but your guide is one of the AK Animal Care experts vs one of the usual Safari CM. You meet up with the guide right after the Lion King show and all the package guests ride the Safari together then
So you'll have someone with much more knowledge to ask questions to. I've done other safaris with similar guides and they are great. You learn so much not just about the animals but about their care and handling at AK specifically, all based on questions asked of course. Since those attending are usually animal oriented types you usually get great questions

Just like CP, it assigns the show time randomly, but after several attempts I was able to get 3, 5 and 6 all to populate with my 11:30 search. So possible to “pick” your show time online, just takes a bit of trial and error!FYI, noticed that you can now book online. They assign a Lion King show time. So I'd say if you want a specific show call so you can pick it
