Rivers of Light --- Almost Ready for Prime Time

[Wood Nymph]

Who knows. Rumor is right now there will be another preview Monday and Tuesday next week. However we don't know if its for CMs only or what.

We have a dinner reservation at Yak & Yeti for Monday night. If there is a decision to allow the GP in to see the show, how would that be communicated?

It probably wouldn't be or if they do they'll make some sort of in park announcement.

You'd probably just need to be walking by at the right time and be in the right place.

We caught a soft early opening once of Space Mountain at Disneyland in CA back in 2005 after it had been closed for like 2 years for a major refurb. We just saw the line and were like IT'S OPEN QUICK LET'S GET IN LINE! Of course it was over 2 hours long but that's OK it was totally worth it to be able to catch it like that. But there was no announcement. It just was.

The mind boggles at your username!

Or does it have a different meaning in the US than here in the U.K.?

1) Things can change, but right now there are only CM-Previews, and not for General Public.
2) They don't have several elements working, and don't even have the finale completed.
3) Would be a major (make that a further) embarrassment if there were goofs and the public saw them.

How exactly would this be done, and when? I guess more than likely, cast members will be standing around the entrance to the attraction during the day telling people that there will be a show that evening, and also I'm assuming there will be flyers at the entrance to the park and the attraction. Will be there a week from Monday, still holding out hope that there may be some sort of preview open to guest by then.

They could put a sign up outside the entrance to the viewing area, or make an announcement over speakers in the park. Your assumptions pretty much match what I would think would happen.

It also means someone is very set in their routine, doesn't like disorder or change.

Can any of the show be viewed from outside the stadium?

Yes from the bridge into Asia, but that viewing is small and something I wouldn't exactly recommend.

If it's just CM previews it wouldn't matter - they do those after the park closes to outside guests.

There are quite a few words/terms that mean something to you all or us,
but not to the other, that can raise eyebrows for travelers across the pond in either direction.

1) True, the Cast Previews are after the park closes (usually show time is at 8:00pm).
2) And, the show CM's verify your official RoL preview ticket prior to entering the amphitheater.
3) So, non-CM's can't have access to view the show.
4) For those who ask, none of the show is visible form outside the park.

Sweet! I look like... well, pretty much exactly like my avatar pic, but with flaming red hair now. So come say "hi!"

I guess it just shows that your mind is in the gutter more than mine? Yes, there's more than one meaning to this phrase. Annie happens to be an abbreviation of my full name that my family calls me and a friend added the prefix to it as a nickname because I tend to be a little anal retentive over things. I like things to be just so-so and it drives me nuts when I can't control some things. There's nothing "dirty" about it.

Yes. Some of us are just over-planners and I guess some people can't see beyond words & take things too literally. Glad not everybody judges based on user names. I've been on the DIS for 10 years now and this isn't the first time I've been criticized & shamed publicly for my user name. Some folks just can't take a joke.

Well this is disappointing. Been following this thread for months hoping so much that we'd get at least a soft open on the 6th. Maybe I bribe a cast member on Tuesday to take me a long. Lol
