Sorry if this was discussed earlier, but any ideas as to what this could be?

Could be for the Christmas parade or to train new performers or something. Overnight rehearsals occur pretty often so I don't usually read too much into them.

If I remember the notices correctly, it's Christmas parade.

They will also be rehearsing the Christmas party show, and the winter friendship Faire ending soon

Why? What difference does it make? If you like the original, watch the original, if you like the new watch the new. It does nothing to ruin, disparage, or otherwise harm the original.

My kids became MORE interested in the original Alice and Jungle Book after the remakes. Which of course were remakes themselves so maybe they shouldn't have been made.

While I refuse to participate in April Fools jokes - it seems like a perfect joke this year for the boards would be to say that Disney has announced a live action version of Moana. Ha ha.

Just wondering if there is any news/rumors on Rivers of Light? I figured the storm sort of swept away the rumor mill (pardon the pun), but I am hoping we hear something this week!

Only helps me if "couple of weeks" means "12 days".
