News Round Up 2017

Bought the Mansion/45th band today and it's great. No special lights yet, but they are never turned on right away. For those that were interested, I think it's a really great mansion design

Also saw Rivers of Light tonight. One technical hiccup where the show stopped halfway through and had to be restarted, but I thought it was a beautiful show for my first watch-through. I will probably stop by a couple more times this week if they keep doing softs and see how I feel once it's not completely new anymore. Overall though, I really enjoyed it.

Now I really want to get that MB....

They aren't holding any back - these passes are being released on a day-by-day basis this week for soft openings.
The AP/DVC wristbands are also just this week for softs as far as I know

DVC renting never counts for membership perks (there's a blue member card), but they won't be doing the DVC/AP/FP preview when you're going anyway.

Thanks for the info! I figured this was the case but best to confirm in advance. My dad is still of the mind set that we don't need fp's or meal reservations for our trips, so I am the one organizing everything.

I would be so much richer if I wasn't a Disney fan.

ROL is a great addition, especially on a full moon night. Wonderful night park and getting better.

I'm glad to hear a positive review of it.

Seems like its getting mostly positive reviews - just not "blows you away" reviews.

Yep that's pretty much it. Everyone for the most part agrees it's good and fits AK perfectly but it's not a fireworks show so it doesn't have that bit bright wow factor. There are other ways to do that so hopefully in the future they will.

Glad to see the couch ad chairs. Always thought the couch in TL was personally hand crafted just for me.
