Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Monica!
I'm happy to hear you are considering a
Rivers of Light Dining Package - It really is the best way to see this visually stunning, evening event at Disney's Animal Kingdom. With the nighttime activities that are available, and Pandora - The World of Avatar now open, this enchanting theme park is a whole new place.
I've dined twice at Tiffins and once at Tusker House with a Rivers of Light Dining Package, so I can say with experience, Tiffins is a fantastic choice. When dining at this unique location with a dining package, you do have the option of selecting your appetizer, entree, and dessert from the daily menu available to all guests; "specialty" beverages and cocktails are not included in the price of the dining package but may still be ordered and paid for out-of-pocket.
Another tip I have is to make sure you still arrive at the venue 30-45 minutes prior to show time so you are able to pick the best-of-the-best in seating. Rivers of Light Dining Package guests use the entrance near the Theater in the Wild (Finding Nemo - the Musical). PhotoPass Photographers also make their way around to capture photos of families with special Rivers of Light signage to commemorate the experience.
I hope this is helpful, Monica! Please let me know if you should have any additional questions. I'm "wild' about making sure our guests get the help they need.
