Rumors of Light (ROL discussion thread)

[jlundeen]

Just had a not very useful callback conversation to discuss a frustrated email sent.
The CM I spoke too said she had no new information beyond that the booking date had been postponed; she seemed confused on what 'booking' meant when I questioned her.

She said I should....wait for it...

watch the Website and Blog for further information.
She was very nice and I genuinely felt she wished she had more to share with me but just had no other information.
The best I could get out of her was for her to communicate up the chain, my concerns and frustration.

Another case of "right hand, have you met the left hand?"

Thanks for the update!

Rumor:

MK extended hours will feature a parade with Maggie riding the Splash Gator down Main St.

This is how I will always imagine Maggie now, thanks!

Cool! If I get to ROL first, I'll save you a seat. You'll do the same, right?

Obviously!

She's an old pro !!!

 

[tinkerhon]

Obviously!

No fair !! You guys can't save the only two seats !!!

 

[tinkerhon]

If this is truly the case, I might just fork up the extra $600 for my family to attend !! They must do something to make this event worth it !!

Hilarious! I'm only skimming the pages since I'm just popping in between stuff, but looks like mostly bad news I'll read back in a bit..

"Now hand us over that $150-- we are giving you colored sprinkles !!!"

The trouble with being on the west coast is there's so much catching up to do when you wake up. I have my coffee in hand and am ready for booking my ROL dining package....BUT I can't apparently, there's still nothing.

My thoughts and prayers to the people of Brussels. What is wrong with our world? So sad. My heart goes out to our Dis posters in Europe who have been affected by this in some way. Sympathy to the poster who had to cancel her WDW trip.

I see there's an amazing new party planned at MK where I can pay $150 to ride a handful of rides, eat a Mickey bar and then PURCHASE a coffee and a hot dog. Wow....what an amazing deal. Yes Disney I can't wait to pay for EMH.....are they insane? Seriously, this is crazy IMO. I would only do this If there was entertainment and if there were food booths all over like Harambe nights, and there isnt even mention of a special parade or stage show or anything. This better not extend into the summer months. We're paying premium in the summer peak season...I'm not paying extra for a "non-party"

ok....so my thoughts are that IF they do preview party, tickets will be announced and go on sale a week or so before event. As for dining packages, I bet they don't start opening them for booking until around the opening date of April 22. This is just a hunch. Not based in fact, but I wouldn't be surprised.

I think the blue is really for "Rumors of Light"

I wish we could go back to the happy old days of just wanting to book our ROL events.

Things are so much more confusing nowadays

I'm at Flame Tree right now and the entire right side (as you're looking towards everest) is done they are Audley on tall ladders securing all the cables for lights and speakers
The left side though is not even half way done, the seating I mean. That's where the largest amount of workers are.
I asked a manager that was standing in front of one of the construction entrances and age have me the whole "or goal is to have it opened by the 22nd" she said she didn't know if any previews but she could've been lying, I'm not sure

Strangely on the last update video I saw it was the right side that looked further behind. 2min 35secs in
