I know these just opened up recently, but does anyone know if the package for dinner at Tiffins includes options from the entire menu or limited options?

First seating isn't until 2/17/17, but the official description makes it sound like it will be a special menu.

This would also be typical for the Nighttime Show Packages to have a separate menu for the prix fixe package price.

What did you not like about it?

[TheDuckRocks]

We love River of Lights and probably for all the reasons that other people hate it. Let me say that we now travel with family that are all adults and I can see that children could very easily get antsy and be bored. The reason we like it is because it is so different from anything else Disney has ever done. It is not exciting. It does not end with a fireworks display. It is quite and very low key. It makes you think. It is beautiful. There are no Disney characters. I do think it is a love or hate thing though.
