The seating area looks beautiful at night. Hopefully we'll get some interesting details.

The segment shown is from the middle of the show.

Lotus flower floats have projections on them as well.

Amazing fountains spring up from the lotus flowers.

I really like the soundtrack it's very animal kingdom like.

Starting Memorial Day - I don't expect RoL any earlier than July with that little tidbit.

Curious if, depending on popularity, they keep the Jungle Book show around longer. Perhaps as a preshow to RoL.

That's possible. From what I watched on periscope I think rivers of light has huge potential. Those fountains worked really well. I hope they get the issues out soon.

sounds like lots of additions to Ak. amazing how they manage all this with budget cuts isn't it? actually even without ROL sounds like at least another 3 or 4 hours at AK.

Wow they were very non-committal about rivers of light itself in that preview. I've got a unsubstantiated feeling there's probably a 50/50 shot of it being canned altogether. I bet Jungle book winds up running longer, maybe using a bit of what they can salvage.

Canned all together? Probably not - but I wouldn't be surprised if Disney has to rework a lot of plans if they can't get the GPS tracking to work, which could delay the show longer.
