Rumors of Light (ROL discussion thread)

Wow, thanks!

I'm anxious to hear what all the preview package entails food-wise. Looks like the first one seemed like food was served whereas the second one seemed like it would need to be purchased.

ETA - Just noticed one was Premium and other was not. Duh!

Maybe the 1st night is more expensive?

We already know the Premium/First night is more expensive, by about $50 if memory serves me right

 

[Vernie822]

I figured that $50/person without food/drink was reasonable. Heck the Halloween and Christmas parties are what like $72? So I'd be OK with that. I mean it's a free FP+ a week later but we don't have that option!

the Premium event is reported (not by the HUB) to be $99 and the preview $50

 

[OhioStateBuckeye]

So the difference between the two events is unlimited food included, fp to nighttime safari and open a little later with less people.

Did I miss anything?

Okay so can I call and book a preview package now??

In other news Night of Joy details have been released and BB is closed through saturday

Saw that info and wish I was going in September!!! Unfortunately we are not doing September for 3 more years

No..

 

[yulilin3]

My son just told me I can go ahead and book the premium party if/when it opens up and told me Happy Mother's Day!!

and now I go hide under my bed and wait for Disney police....Again they are set to go over at events it's just a matter of it being done by April 15th. The preview event on the 17th doesn't show yet on the calendar but it'll be the same as April 16th

I saw your comment about no longer having HUB access-hopefully you didn't get in trouble from keep us all posted here and on the Star Wars thread.

@yulilin3 thank you for the update!

In reading this, it sounds like the park will be closed for everyone who is not attending the premium event on the 15th. If it really is $105 like someone else here suggested, it's not even bad....

No, that sums it up about right.

nah...my ex husband was the one working for the mouse but they cut his hours so much he had to leave and get a new job.

Thanks, me too!!! We were married there in September and that's why we go back at that time in 3 years for our 15 year VR!

not bad at all if you thing about it all the big rides will still be open, the only thing missing, for me, would be FOTLK (that's my favorite show)

Sorry to hear that

 

[yulilin3]

Sorry to hear that

well, there are a lot of changes happening everywhere in the parks that the guest doesn't see...that's why I always say be kind to the CM you encounter
