Rumors of Light (ROL discussion thread)

Wow --- thank goodness we don't leave until 6/30 !!!

I make FP's tonight for my little Club Villain May trip, that may be equate to a couple glasses of wine. For my July trip, I make FP's May 25th and that may equal a whole bottle of wine... I also start making my ADRs for Disneyland around the same time as my FP's... 3 days at Disney World at Wilderness Lodge and then flying from MCO to Disneyland for 6 days...it's my 30th birthday. this has been the most stressful trip I've planned.

Disney did give me 2 extra fastpasses for each day of July DW trip to use on anything... that should ease the stress but it has not.

Wow how nice! May I ask how one gets 2 extra FPs like that?

I surprised my girl friend with a cinderella shoe necklace and a note inviting her to breakfast in the castle Wednesday morning. I guess she sent a pic of it to Disney. She called me on V Day screaming excitedly because someone from Disney called her and gave us 2 FP's for each day of my trip since she told them I was celebrating my 30th. I looked in MDE and they were there, no restrictions. I am planning to propose to her the morning of our breakfast in front of the castle. We have a pre park CRT at 8 AM.

Also, I am going to have a card and tiara sent to our room Tuesday night. Hopefully, the folks at Wilderness Lodge will be helpful and strategically place it in our room Tuesday. I wanted to get a shoe slipper dessert too but not sure if they do at Wilderness

Saw this on another ROL thread pertaining to this thread ... Not necessary. I've found this thread informative and I've enjoyed the other conversations.

I agree. I'm going to miss this thread when we all finally get our ROL package

Again, it has morphed into a support group of sorts! I feel that one can get necessary and most recent information from the last page or two, which is often what I find...

And, in an "unrelated conversation"...nice job, @Kevin1986 ! It all sounds terribly romantic and I hope you both have a wonderful time! You will be telling stories of this trip to your grandkids!

Here's to a YES! Have a great trip!

 

[Kevin1986]

HAHA thank you, I hope all goes as planned.

Yeah I saw that the other day and rolled my eyes. Everybody has the same information (or lack of) right now, so we might as well chat in the mean time! Their 'on topic' thread doesn't have any more information than this one.

In fact, all of their info cites a source of... this thread.

Guest relations called me after I wrote an email. She said the official word is packages, fastpasses, special preview parties have been "postponed indefinitely" and will not be going up Tuesday. I asked her if ROL is still going on April 22nd and she said it has been "postponed" and to keep an eye on Disney Parks Blog as they would announce it there a few days before it goes up. She then asked me for my resort and asked if I got all the ADRs I wanted and I said yes. She looked in my account, said I was a pro at Disney planning and that I had great ADRS and that was that.

Oh not good

 

[keishashadow]

Thanks, but boo!! Well... we can catch it in Apr, but our Aug trip -- when a friend is joining us who has never been to WDW -- we'll miss it. Whatever happened to major refurbs mostly in off season?

with all the promos they run and attendance up, there is really no 'off' season anymore it seems.

likely common knowledge but i cannot figure out 'where' this night time show/stadium? is going to be located @ AK...please don't say on the river

 

[Mambo Junkie]

Thank you for the info. It gave me the "kick" I needed to finalize my plans. I have now chosen between Epcot and AK, gotten all my fps and ADRs for each, tweaked them and am set to go. If it happens, great. If it doesn't, my plans are set!

I'm thinking they pushed it back because Soarin and FEA are taking longer than originally suggested.

Probably the thread police from yesterday who said we were crazy to get so upset ....

The only part I found very odd is it hasn't been that long since they announced the debut date
It seems very unlikely they would know it's opening date just 2 weeks ago and now have something that would cause such a delay that they can't say when it will open
