Rumors of Light (ROL discussion thread)

[MickeyMinnieMom]

Anyone else hear Pete say ROL dining packages are now open on today's Dreams podcast? Took me a few minutes and a minor panic attack to realize it was prerecorded months ago. ROL is going to be the death of me!

How nice of them to re-run that. Geez.

I'm very late on this, but while I was at WDW (4/16-4-24) I did see one Rumors of Light pin!!

It was Thursday the 21st in the morning, and I saw a woman with a RoL pin on her backpack as I jumped on a bus at the Beach Club to head to Animal Kingdom. If I hadn't been jumping on the waiting bus I would have loved to chat and say "Hi! Nice pin! I coined that phrase!" but it just wasn't meant to be.

Despite no Rumors or Rivers of Light our trip and wedding was wonderful, and since it's unlikely we'll be back until September or sometime next year, I'm hopeful the show will actually be running by then...we'll see!

Was it on a pink backpack? That was probably ME! We were staying at Beach Club, and I was on and off buses during the day on 4/21. I would have loved to say hi!

Has the animal Kingdom special dining place holder disappeared? Can't see it at all but it has been a couple of weeks since I checked.
Really slipping and will be so annoyed if after stalking for so long I do miss it!

I don't see it anymore. The count has dropped from 27 to 26 for AK. Nomad Lounge does say opening Memorial Day weekend though. Tiffins does mention Memorial Day if you go into the link however it does not appear to be bookable yet.

I though I read 5/20 for bookings to begin?

Me too, not sure where I read this but I put it in my diary! 2 days before I leave for my holiday...!

I thought it was one of those "watch DPB for more info on May 20".

I though the "watch" date was just "mid-May"??

You could be right... I'm losing track. Either it's the ongoing stress, or the margharitas to deal with the ongoing stress...

Lol...you and me both! Who even knows at this point?!?!?!

 

[disfamz]

I am really looking forward to going to AK in September! There is going to be a DVC safari event and hopefully I can couple that with ROL and dinner at TH. I really, really want to ride EE at night lol.

 

[Delgado]

I read somewhere too that things would be bookable May 20. I remember reading this cause I had a moment of rainbows flying out of my mouth...I leave that day and will be on an airplane with no wifi to make reservations after waiting months for disney to slowly screw up my adrs and event reservations. Smh...first world problems!

 

[10CJ]

The blog just says more info on reservations will be available on May 20. So not sure they will open up that day or not.

I think we are supposed to get more info on Jungle Book and the other AK night time events May 20th as well.

Rivers of Light is the vague mid-late May.

As you can see it looks like the Disney IT got lazy and basically copy/pasted the info from RoL, it still mentions it in the Tusker House info

When is your trip in September?

 

[figmentfan423]

Unless they open up TH or Tiffins looks like I won't be doing a dining package for the JB show. No way I'm paying 44 per person for 2 people with allergies who won't be able to eat there. It's fp or bust. Oh well with 2 nights maybe there will be stand by

Is it cheaper to do the dining package than without? We have TH as an ADR and I'd change it to this if it makes sense financially to do so.
