Are you looking to experience Disney’s Animal Kingdom’s nighttime show – Rivers of Light<\/a>?\u00a0 The Rivers of Light Dining Package<\/a> is a great way to access preferred seating while also enjoying some of the wonderful dining options available at the park.<\/p>\n Rivers of Light is the nighttime show that was introduced at Animal Kingdom<\/a> in early 2017.\u00a0 It combines gorgeous lighting, music, and water features into a production that celebrates nature.\u00a0 The show has received mixed reviews, though I personally enjoy it.\u00a0 The music is beautiful and the water projections are stunning with the Tree of Life in the background.\u00a0 (And it was a hit with our preschooler, as well, thanks to the number of visual effects that kept his eyes busy.)<\/p>\n The Rivers of Light Dining Package is available both at Tiffins<\/a> and at Tusker House<\/a>.\u00a0 If you have little ones in your traveling party, you can’t go wrong with Tusker House – the food is great and the character interactions are top notch.\u00a0 If you’re looking for a more sophisticated experience, Tiffins is a fantastic option.\u00a0 I was excited to be able to enjoy a leisurely and delicious meal at this signature restaurant as part of the package.<\/p>\n The Rivers of Light package at Tiffins is available for both lunch and dinner, costing $67 for adults and $26 for children ages 3-9.\u00a0 An appetizer, entree, and dessert are included.\u00a0 (The package does not include tax, gratuity, or alcohol.\u00a0 For more details on the package itself, click here<\/a>.)\u00a0 You are able to choose from their full menu.\u00a0 That means, depending on what you select, the dining package can be a pretty good deal.<\/p>\n I had booked my dining package at Tiffins for a late lunch.\u00a0 It was my first time visiting one of Disney’s signature restaurants and it has set the bar high.\u00a0 I was seated in the Safari Gallery.\u00a0 The dining room was inviting and relatively quiet – likely due to the timing of my reservation.\u00a0 There is a beautiful variety of artwork that adorns the walls and it felt like I had stumbled across a quiet art gallery in the middle of a bustling Disney park.\u00a0 Sipping on a glass of wine and checking out the art pieces was a wonderful way to unwind while waiting for my meal.<\/p>\n The food at Tiffins echoed the quiet sophistication of the dining room.\u00a0 I thought their menu<\/a> offered a nice variety of options.\u00a0 The only challenge was settling on what sounded best.\u00a0 The food was fresh, perfectly made, and delicious.<\/p>\n To top it off, the service at Tiffins was excellent.\u00a0 I will say that I ended up spending far longer on the meal than I had planned for.\u00a0 I savored the experience, and it was well worth the time.<\/p>\n After a fantastic meal, I left the restaurant with my Rivers of Light show voucher to enjoy a couple hours around the park. Disney recommends arriving at the Rivers of Light theater between 15 – 35 minutes before showtime.\u00a0 I arrived about a half hour early and there was plenty of time to get a great seat and settle in.<\/p>\n I was lucky enough to land a front row spot.\u00a0 Getting there early enough gave me an opportunity to take in the beauty of the theater and watch the sun finish setting – all with the Tree of Life as the back drop – before the show started.\u00a0 (Not a bad way to spend an evening, I would say.)<\/p>\n The show itself felt like a great way to wrap up my day at Animal Kingdom.\u00a0 It was visually stunning and, to me, felt like it incorporated everything that this park is about.\u00a0 I found myself reflecting on things I had experienced earlier in the day while taking in the show – somehow it seemed to tie it all together in a beautiful package.<\/p>\n Based on my experience, I would absolutely recommend the Rivers of Light Dining Package at Tiffins!\u00a0 The meal itself felt like a great value, and the preferred seating at the nighttime show seemed like an extra perk.\u00a0 I found it to be well worth it.<\/p>\n If you’re considering booking the Rivers of Light Dining Package, keep in mind that advanced reservations are highly recommended and the package is booked separately from your typical dining reservations.\u00a0 If you maybe don’t want to go with a dinner package, Disney does offer a Rivers of Light Dessert Party<\/a>, as well.<\/p>\n Have you booked a Rivers of Light Dining Package?
