Animal Kingdom "Rivers of Light" opening?

[mwerner2]

Any educated guesses as to when "Rivers of Light" in AK will open? Might it go along with the opening of the new "Harambe Nights" show on June 7?

No, there is no way this opens on June 7. For one, Disney will hype the heck out of this before it opens. It will not be a surprise. Expect an opening with Pandora in--what is it now?--2017? IF they open the nighttime safaris before Pandora (which I doubt), you MIGHT see Rivers of Light at the same time. But my gut feeling says this is a package deal...primarily because there isn't enough in AK to keep people there past dark with only pieces of the package open.

On one hand I feel you're right, but on the other hand Disney loves to stagger their openings. Why wait until it's all open when they can get those extra dollars from repeat visits?
