More encouraging news re: Rivers of Light

[vinotinto]

Maybe a day early but nothing more than that.

Thanks! Appreciate the info. Since our last evening is Oct 9, I don't have to worry about tinkering with plans anymore!

Will this mean AK will close later in November? We plan to be at AK on 11/10 and 11/11.

Most likely.

It would be nice to have it up and running since there is now one less night time thing to do with MSEP leaving. Fingers crossed! We arrive 10/28 for 11 nights. Need to fill our nights!

Very excited and hopeful it's running during my last week of October trip. Have a dinner reservation at Epcot on Tuesday 10/25 but I'll cancel it if ROL is running so I can watch it, then head back to Epcot for EMH.

My last AK day is 10/15... Fingers crossed for some soft opening.

For those interested in Rivers of Light watch for the week of October 16th...

While I find this to be "discouraging" news about ROL, I hope it's a fantastic show, and I envy those of you lucky enough to catch it.

Any guesses on what time the show might be, when it does start?

 

[Minnie368]

Do you expect ROL will be scheduled 7 days/wk and what time do you think it will be? Just trying to think about how it will fit into our upcoming trip.

It will likely have at least two shows a night. Start times will depend on when it gets dark.

Yes 7 days a week. My guess would be show times around 6 and 8 but that would change depending on the time of year and the sunset.

What's the seating capacity for the theatre?

Goodbye Expedition Everest FP the second that this has an FP.

Ugh - ROL is Killing me! First it tormented us during our April trip and didn't ever happen and we are going back for our last time for likely 2 years and we will be there Oct 5-11th! I guess the only good thing is that we can be at AK for the night we planned (Oct 6) and not worry about rescheduling that and maybe we will get lucky to have a soft open or atleast be able to ride Everest a few times In a row!

Just checked hours for DAK. Open till 9:00 this week! ROL soft opening? Flying down on Thirsday. Just wishing...

No soft openings yet if at all.

I'm wondering if ROL dinner packages might be available for the first week it opens. Or would it be fastpass or long standby line? Any thoughts on that?

I hope we find out soon.

I am hoping that the Flametree BBQ will be available as was originally rumored.

The day I have the night scheduled at AK, we start at Epcot and I booked our 3 FP+ there.....if ROL debuts, I wouldn't be able to book FP until day of, correct? Unless, I cancel all FP+ and reschedule for AK?

sure hope they will be available for November. I have a TH breakfast ADR I would love to change to a dining package. If that is even possible to do without losing the ADR.
