Rumors of Light (ROL discussion thread)

No it was somewhere else. I'll look when I get home if no one else finds it first. It was an answer to a comment.

Nevermind, I found it. Thanks!

Oh, no... I thought we were done with A&E but I might have to think again if they're in new outfits...

MK Fantasyland insider says this is what they are being told they will wear at the new M&G.

Makes sense, but we'll see.

As always, nothing is happening until it is actually happening.

But do we think that we really need to be up for midnight tonight for FP? I've been mostly going with the early shift!

This is just my opinion, I'm not expecting anything at midnight. I'll check at 7 just for fun, maybe call Disney Dinng to hear those magic words, "Check the blog." I still think we'll probably get an announcement of some sort shortly before booking opens. Fingers crossed for the preview nights. Staying tuned....As usual, waiting.

I stinking LOVE these outfits!

Sign me up, I'll be in line to meet them if that's what they're wearing.

I'm sure they're also going to charge for TP. $10 a sheet

I heard that $10 will be for a sheet of newspaper. If you want the soft stuff, it'll be $30 a sheet

Am I reading that right, $150 for three hours? For just rides and some characters? Or are we assuming there's more to it. Because if there's not, I fear Disney may have lost their minds at this point.

Me too so my fingers are crossed. I think they are so much better than what they have on now. It totally works with their "summer house" theme.

Those outfits are really cute! DS has no interest in Frozen beyond Olaf, but I actually kind of want to meet the sisters in those dresses!

I wonder what's included.

Since we have *nothing* new today on the ROL front..

What do you all think about the new MK after hours event? 3 hours, $149, meet and greets and attractions open. Select nights in April & May.

Definitely not for me. Too spendy for what I already paid for with park tickets. I hope this doesn't mean that they're going to close the park earlier on one of our days we already have scheduled there.

You bring the torches, I'll bring the pitchforks...anyone else want to bring shovels and rakes??

I'm in.

I'm starting to wonder if I will see the new A&E stuff and the new Soarin' *before* I see ROL...

Those are cute summer dresses!

Probably

 

[TheFloatingBear]

And Jennifer, if I might say, we're already past what would be a fairly reasonable expectation of "very soon!" Perhaps it could be edited to say, "sometime in the unidentified future!"

Are they going to do away with EMH and start having these ticketed after hours things? Like we aren't paying enough to stay on property now? Why take away such a huge perk to staying at a WDW resort? What do you think?

Especially given the recent rumor that they were going to start charging a "resort" fee at Disney resorts for perks that currently are free. That would be like a double whammy.

If emh are phased out I'm most likely gone. I'll stay off property.

Makes you wonder. I mean, why this special ticketed after hours MK thing? Unless it's a party of some sort, with food, drink, special,parade whatever....if it's just small crowds and rides...then it makes you wonder.

 

[TheFloatingBear]

That might be it for us too, as far as on-site. Or at least not every trip...

And it's seems to be rolling out so quickly - announced today, a date to purchase tickets, events in April and May! Gee, maybe I should give up trying to get a preview party for ROL, and go for one of these!

I have to say, this is the 5th trip that I've planned in about 7 or 8 years, and it has been the weirdest!
