Can we all agree to add.. "<insert detail here> is/are available!" in bold to the top of every thread post when (if) they become available? I have class until 10 pm so it'd make my periodic secret refreshing the most recent page easier just in case

Maybe the people who write the BLOG entries are just as P***** off about the delay in giving out details as we are...again, it's the people on the front lines who take the all the anger and frustration... MAYBE she had a more compete article to release, and at the last minute, the powers that be made her reword it to "COMING VERY SOON"...

Am I the only one who isn't sure why she's on the front lines of live things? I feel like the guy she's usually with does a better job. When they did the NYE fireworks I was cringing for her lol.

I quite honestly think this blog post is like a HA HA HA you fools wanted news?! You get THIS!

I've mastered the "cover with hand" & "rummage in bag" refreshes...

Sometimes that's a helpful life skill.

Good idea...helps to find any details - since they are few and far between...we're a pretty prolific group when it comes to socialization!

Wait.... what's the great blog update we've all been told to look ?!?! Anyone on this thread could have written something more informative

They would be better off doing a "live" Blogcast over the web, instead of useless articles --- I am sure that have people on the payroll that would give more info !!

I am staying club level the weekend of April 15th. Sent an email to the IPO asking about tix to the preview parties. Here is the response:

"Unfortunately, ast this time we do not have any information on any "preview parties" for Rivers of Light. Right now, the opening date is scheduled for 4/22/16. If there is anything else we can answer for you, please let us know."

Usually the IPO's aren't much help with special events. I considered emailing them, but never did. Thanks for posting what they said.
We arrive the same weekend, on Sat. Not long now!

Conspiracy Theory - If they wait until 30 days out, that opens Fastpasses to anyone, correct? Maybe that's the crowd 'equalizer' they are waiting for, so there is no special benefit to one group (package bookings).

Gives AP holders a "fair" chance as well.

This is unfortunately exactly the same thing I have been thinking. I don't know why there would be any other reason to delay things at this point. Tomorrow opens up 30 day fp's for April 22nd, the first expected show date. So lets see if Disney decides to screw us again!

Great point, although I am around 99.9 % certain that 4/24 is going to be the date, since I take my
Para exam that day !! I just feel it !!

Curiously, in the MDE app under wait times at Epcot, it shows a 0 min wait for FEA, but if you click on it, it still says coming summer 2016. Progress, maybe?

It's been that way for at least a week. I'm hoping that means the ride is moving inside and the rest of the work is just visual.

I am enjoying the one liners this morning as I wait for Amazon to figure out why I can't register my new kindle. Keep them coming, cause at this rate, I may run out before Amazon figures out the problem

 

[KMWoolley]

Maybe they'll do it on the one month Anniversary of this thread, March 23. That somehow seems very, very appropriate.

Also in the MDE android app there is a blank place holder block in my epcot tier1 FP choices.

Not ROL related Blog post- New one just posted... Hold onto your hats!
Disney Parks Blog Time Capsule: March 2010

That's right, sports fans. We're now getting an update on various happy memories from March 2010.

Wasn't there a rumor from somewhere that talked about 3/22 or 3/23 - because it was 30 out? Kind of got lost in the critters and A&E, but I seem to remember reading that quite awhile ago and didn't want to believe it. I'm now starting to.

Yeah I think someone said 3/22 because that's a month before the ROL debut of 4/22?!
