Didn't know if everyone had heard or seen this yet. Looking forward to heading out that night to see what this is all about and how it looks.

I'm excited! It looks so cool!

We will be there April 28th and can't contain my excitement!!

The Earth Day debut had been speculated, but am so excited we have the 'official' announcement. Can't wait to see it in May!

 

[BrdwayBoy]

Yay! Exciting news!!

 

[JESSketeer]

So excited for RoL!! I skipped the video in the link, I want to be surprised when we go in September!! I can't wait!!

I am hoping for soft opening, if not we will have to wait until fall to see it.

Maybe a silly question, but we are going in August, and the hours posted show AK closes at 5. It wills till be light out then, does this mean they will most likely change the hours of the park? TIA!

Yes.

I know there aren't a whole bunch of things to directly compare this to but is this the sort of thing you'd expect to have some sort of soft opening or preview performance? We're there the 11th-15th so would love to catch one.

There's been talk in the rumors thread of a media event on the 18th. Unfortunately I haven't heard of any soft openings happening early enough for you to catch one.

Any idea if it will be Fast Pass+?

 

[5kidsmommy]

This is really exciting. We won't be able to see it until next year but still really cool.

Our Animal Kingdom day is April 25th, hope we'll be able to get seats or a dining package! I'm nervous it will get filled quickly!

 

[BABYJOSIE98]

We will be there at the end of May! So exciting,but now I need to tweak some of my plans! It is all good! I will be glad when they let us know times and how we can secure a spot to watch...

 

[tstidm1]

With how small the area is, I think it will be Fast Pass + only for a seat. I don't think there is going to be standing areas for it, but I may not be seeing the areas. This does make me happy. Now when will they put FP + booking and Dining packages up for this event.

 

[amg35]

Wow, this really looks amazing.

I love Animal Kingdom, just love it.

 

[Jennasis]

We will probably skip in on our upcoming May trip as we didn't have plans to hit AK and save checking out RoL in September on our longer trip. Looking forward to it.

 

[PeasandCarrots]

I'm excited this is opening, but it's literally right before my trip and the crowds concern me. I don't want to wait in an hour long line to get in so I may hold off until my next trip.

dining packages, will they include all the resturants? LIke lunch at Yak and Yeti?
