Rumors of Light (ROL discussion thread)

[nilla]

Now Rivers of Light isn't showing at all on My Disney Experience. I think they're just messing with us now.

Yep---- and as far as the "web forum rumors" --- most of that info ( rumor or truth) was provided by CMs
( take that with a grain of salt) but didn't someone post an e-mail reply that they received from a higher-up at
Disney, basically stating that the project has been postponed ?

That was me! A guest relations manager called me based on an email I had sent about not being able to "plan" 180 days in advance due to lack of information on Disney's part.

Not sure how much higher up the responder was

I still question of there is confusion by the various CM between RoL itself being postponed and RoL packages being postponed

This is how I imagine Maggie and the other CMs will be on the day this package is finally released.

I called again today to ask about the preview night on April 15th and the CM knew what I was talking about but said all previews and dining packages have been put on hold. She said to just keep checking back. She was very nice but I kind of felt she was a little tired of answering these questions. I say we keep calling until the cast members start complaining to the higher ups to get a move on!

They probably decided to put it on hold because of us rowdy disboard people have become so impatient they thought we needed punished

The direct link works but when I search for it, too, it doesn't come up on the website. Hmmmm...

I think we're all getting a little punchy here...we've been at this for a long time...what ever did I do with my time before they announced it would open in April? Ha Ha.

I'm off to bed, these 5 AM check ins are getting to me...but I'll check in early tomorrow, along with every one else.

Good night, all!

I can't even find the disney blog post about the costume detailing..?!

EDIT: Found it by directly searching, but it wasn't linked from most recent posts.

I always find the new AK events from the banner that scrolls across the home page

I wouldn't assume their blogger is in the decision loop.

Jenn who wrote the article would be the only one who is in the loop. I'm not buying this push back thing. Tiffins opens April 22nd as well.

We are going the first week of May and would really like to be able to plan around Rivers of Light. Crossing my fingers outs soon!

 

[disneymath]

Those of you who commented on the Parks blog were awesome! Since it's so close, guess I'll check at midnight again, then at 6 if needed!

Nothing as of 9:01PST/12:01EST

I see nothing on the dining page.

 

[dachsie]

ARGH!!!!! The whole freaking system is down! I can't book my fastpasses!

ARGH!!!!! The whole freaking system is down! I can't book my fastpasses!

I hit "try again" a few times and got it working (only to see there are still no nighttime options at AK on the 22nd)

 

[disneymath]

Nada from my end regarding dining packages ... Night all!

 

[dachsie]

At 11:12 CST it finally started working and I got them. I was hoping that meant they had updated the FP options.

Lol poor Maggie! To her credit she didn't sound stressed that she seemed to have no idea what was going on, just blissfully ignorant.

I'm convinced at this point that everything will be released while I'm in labor.

Probably while I'M in labor, only I'm not even pregnant yet!
