Rumors of Light (ROL discussion thread)

[Indybill]

I'm on a 30 minute estimated hold with dining so would appreciate an update from anyone who actually got through...

 

[rsagusti]

boo they said that the package reservations were postponed and they were still waiting to hear, the guy was clearly being asked this a lot and sounded a little frustrated by it all ... aren't we all...

 

[MickeyMinnieMom]

Just called. I got the story about Stitch messing with things, should be "soon", keep an eye on Disney Park Blog, etc.

 

[figmentfan423]

How frustrating!

She transfered me to resort reservations

PLEASE give us some good news today Disney! Even silently lurking this thread is exhausting (though exhilarating at the same time)!

I just got off with them and was told they are not booking the dining packages as of now and have no info on when it will be available right now

 

[mbh106]

I just called and was told the dining packages are not available, they have been postponed, they don't have any other information available, and keep checking the Disney Blog.

From Shirley.. the sweetest Southern lady ever:

"If you monitor the Parks Blog, usually as quickly as we get the info it is posted there.. The booking of the preview packages is being put on hold right now, but check back later today and you may be able to book it then.."

I have an idiot on the phone most likely will have to call back!!!!!!!

Stay classy, San Diego.

Thanks much for posting about the preview package.
I am hoping there will be a blog post soon (or soonish???). I'll be checking off and on, it's one of those busy days for me.

Got the Stitch story too and to keep checking the blog.

You're welcome! I am hoping to see it soon too. I just really want the preview package and I'm nervous that won't be bookable online.

I can step away from my desk at work but I'd prefer not to leave 4-5 times for 10 minutes at a time. If Disney can release it at some point today why can't they release it this morning!?

Just got off the phone. Was told that today was the day, he tried booking the date for me and said it was not coming up in the system. He said everything he had been told points towards today being the day, but it's not available yet and to keep trying. I also asked which restaurants will be available but he didn't know.

 

[Jobelly]

Told the same thing, totally fed now!

 

[AngiTN]

It's not necessarily good news but at least we are getting consistent answers from the CM

 

[jimim]

She transfered me to resort reservations

Awesome

 

[brehede1]

I was just told that there is a big meeting later today and that something may be decided! Who knows...

 

[rsagusti]

Need more details, today is the day for what? the previews? The Dining Packages? What?

CM David Johnson giving the same info: not yet released, was supposed to be Saturday but postponed, they haven't gotten any further info, check DPB.

Indeed.
As folks call now and then today, it would be very helpful if they'd post about whether they were asking about previews party/package or ROL packages.
I'll try later today and do the same.
