Rumors of Light (ROL discussion thread)

That blog post literally feels like teasing... like "let's post a AK blog and tell them 'soon!' again!"

They had to know what they were doing when they posted. I bet the person snickered.

Visualizing ... high fives in the office, toasting to jungle juice and

Managed to get my frustration posted again in the Comments section of the Blog, for what that is worth.

"So each post that has anything to do with the Animal Kingdom and the new nighttime experiences has received multiple comments back asking the same thing. When will the new Park Hours and schedules be posted? When will FP+ and ADR booking be available for April 22 and beyond? We are all trying to just plan, but lack of firm details is making that both frustrating and impossible.”More on that soon” is not helpful in any way, shape or form to a frustrated group."

I think I might have my picture posted at the front gates soon, and not in a good way either

Ah...now I understand the REAL reason for the new security at the front gates.... HA HA HA

I love Periscope- They are just finalizing the seating ---

"Ok guys---- so, if the blue is for "Tusker House", the green is for "Tiffins" , the orange is for "Flame Tree", what is the red for ??"

"What's that Maggie?--- we can use the red for a "Fantasmic" dining package?"

"Might just work--- ok guys --- announce another Blog annuncememt for 3PM".

I posted a comment on the BLOG also, but it's still in moderation. Can't imagine it will help, any more than all the previous ones the past couple of weeks, but, heck, can't hurt either.

"For those of us who have a trip scheduled for April, and have had all our carefully planned dining and fast past reservations done for weeks/months, can you please tell us exactly WHY this is being kept so secret? We’ve all followed with much anticipation the frequent announcements, and have been told continually by the reservation CMs to WATCH THE BLOG. The last several BLOG entries concerning AK have been telling us to STAY TURNED – DETAILS COMING SOON. Please, just let us finish planning our trips BEFORE leaving for our trips."

Great post!
I just wish they'd give us dates for booking. Even if it doesn't work for my trip, it would be nice to know.

Seven day shred. "Lose 7 pounds in 7 days". Oh how I wish they had 30 day shred at the library!!! More my speed I think. I've gained 3 pounds since I've started preparing for Disney. Muscle weighs more than fat, but when you hide it UNDER fat it all just weighs more. Also, I've managed to spot reduce only my breasts. Awesome. Most days I get the fitbit up over 12,000 steps so that is the main thing, and trying to build muscle and endurance to minimize joint stress on the trip. I miss my 20 something body. Hell, I miss my 30 something body...

Muscle is DENSER than fat. It does not weigh more - a pound is still a pound. It's just that more muscle fits in the same space as a pound of fat.

What is the best way to be checking for the FPs (RoL and nighttime safari), now that I have my FP planned the only way I know to check is to go in and try to modify them, and that's kind of a pain.

If you are just checking to see if they exist and have passes for longer than your trip, you can just search on a random day. I find it is a little easier to act like you are making plans for a new day than to try to modify your existing plans.

I leave for 2 hours and suddently this thread jumps in 4 pages. And I am close to a heart attack because I think I missed the ADR opening. Whaaaa, this is so annoying!

The dibb is disney information bulletin board and as said it's a UK site similar to the dis. I'm normally on regularly until I started to follow this thread a lifetime ago!
Going a few pages back and off ROL topic, if Anna and elsa M&G go to Norway and there is also Features at Norway, as EP is tiered will these both be in tier 1 with the new soarin and TT? Leaves a hard choice in tier 1 even if you go twice and naff all really in tier 2!!!

There is little doubt that both the ride and the M&G will be Tier 1

That or go in as if you want to make new FP

Not to add more conjecture but I thought I saw somewhere a picture of the new A&E meet/greet and it showed in the drawing A&E dressed in the green dresses from frozen fever. I wonder if they'll keep the MK meet and have them dressed as in frozen fever at EP. Just a thought.

They have already said that A&E will MOVE to Epcot. They will not remain in MK too. This was said in answer to a question on one of the blog posts ages ago.

And those of us that will be far far away from Disney during this time of "excitement" are reading along and ....



I apologize, that was mean.

Something actually got answered in a blog post????

LOL... they have even answered stuff regarding RoL. At least they answered about FP there. That answer was the first place they have confirmed it will have FP

Why do people find it so hard to spell the world 'dining'? Every time I see a post asking about 'free dinning' I start twitching.

The one that gets me is Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. I've seen Bippity Boppity, Bibbidy Bobbidy, you name it...

maybe because of the noise level?

Winners are winning
Sinners are sinning
Spinners are spinning
So dinners are dinning

Me too. And I read it as rhyming with winning.....

Off ROL topic, Hope you are feeling well and getting some rest.

You do indeed experience free dinning at Chef Mickey's.

Thank you, I'm OK just uncomfortable! I'm going off to march around the neighborhood soon to see if that makes any changes, and to have a conversation with my unborn child about him maybe making his exit soon.

LOL yep one of the many joys of eating at Chef Mickeys.
