Rivers of Light

[emilygrace]

Hi Due in Orlando last 2 weeks of May and was just trying to find some things to do we haven't done before. came across the rivers of light at animal kingdom so was wondering
1 what kind of show is it
2 is it any good
3 how does the dining package work do you get priority seating if you book a table regardless of the time you eat

Following as I'd also like to know
Also, is the fast pass seating worth the extra cost for the meal?

It's a show using mainly projection on water features plus some live action. (Like Fantasmic). The theme throughout is animals. It does NOT contain any Disney characters. You can find excerpts on YouTube. The dinner seating isn't Fastpass it's Priority. Fastpasses are available separately not requiring any meal but may be in different areas to the Priority..

Dining packages are now on sale up to the end of June for the show that offer guests premium seating. You can choose from 2 restaurants:

Tusker House:

Breakfast, starting at:
$39.00 adults
$23.00 children ages 3 to 9
Lunch/Dinner, starting at:
$52.00 adults
$32.00 children ages 3 to 9

Tiffins:

Rivers of Light Dining Package Prices (Dining Plan Eligible)
Lunch/Dinner starting at:
$67.00 adults
$26 children ages 3 to 9

Dinner dining must be take at least 3 hours before the show at either restaurant.

Does the lunch/dinner package at Tiffins come as 3 course or 2? Also is it 2TS credits? Thanks

3 courses and 2 credits. We did this last year on DDP for the Jungle Book show that filled in for RoL.

It is a great use of 2 credits and the meal was excellent.

I'd like to query this - when I booked over the phone I was told that Tusker House would be a fixed price affair but Tiffin's you just paid standard menu prices for whatever you ordered. I know we've got the RoL option on the booking as I can see it in my MDE page, so I'm a bit puzzled - that advice seems to conflict with what I've read elsewhere?

Found that on Disney's website

Yes I saw that too, hence the confusion - I don't imagine that's going to vary too much from what we'll end up spending anyway based on the menu prices, but it is somewhat contradictory to what I was told over the phone. The guy was quite helpful but very deadpan and sounded rather bored, which made the delivery of 'have a magical day' at the end of the phone call all the more amusing :P

I'm guessing that it probably means the above prices for lunch but maybe higher for dinner, when demand would be higher?
