Hi Gordon!
Thank you for bringing your question to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. I've heard wondEARful things about
Tusker House Restaurant and I think my family is hoping to reserve the Rivers of Light Dining package on our next trip too!
Unfortunately you are unable to 'upgrade' a standing reservation into a Dining Package. There is different availability for each so you'll actually need to create a new reservation. To check and see if there is availability during your trip you can check on the
Rivers of Light Dining Package web page. You should see a blue box on the right hand side that asks you to
Check Availability. You are unable to reserve multiple dining reservations at the same time so if there is something available you will need to cancel your standing reservation then quickly go back in and claim the new reservation. If you are nervous about potentially losing the availability between cancelling and grabbing the next one I'd recommend calling 407-WDW-DINE and the Cast Member should be able to assist you. If you are not seeing any availability this means the Rivers of Light Dining Package is no longer available. You can continue to check back, but the system is live so if it's showing nothing available, the Cast Member you speak with will see the same.
I'm sending pixie dust your way for a magical trip! Please let us know if you have any other questions.
