Rumors of Light (ROL discussion thread)

I forgot CaROLyn! D'oh! But CarROL has the added benefit of being able to be both for a boy or a girl, although admittedly, not a lot of boy CarROLs! I can only think of CarROL O'Conner!

I guess CaROLine is an option too then!!

It is eerily quiet on the blog today.... are they all on Easter break already?

I just think everyone is depressed!!!

So for the EARLY MORNING MAGIC- any guess at price? Since the 3 hrs at night is for most of the park(or so people think) and is $50 an hr, what would one land for 1 hr be?

I rarely get up for these as my kids are older and want to sleep in, but I have been on tours and like the early am just like I like the very late nights. I like the emptiness.

$49 would be appropriate for one hour in the morning. They'll probably hike it up to $99 and add mediocre breakfast items to the mix.

Seeing it's a boy I'm voting for ROLf I like the Muppets

I dont know, the night one is almost the whole park, and this one looks like only three rides. I think it needs to be cheaper than BOG breakfast to consider.

How about something a little more subtle, like Helena Jordan which would roughly mean The light of the Sun and Flowing down...

It's listed under dining. I bet there's some form of dining packaged In With this.

Nice! Well, we know that subtly is your strength!

Curious about the statement in bold..... How can it be pushed back when no date was ever given for it to open?

It was marketed as "Spring." So I made my trip towards the END of Spring. But now it is being marketed as Summer.

You're most probably only gonna get BOG pre-park ADRs through that package then. So $49 for one hour with mediocre breakfast items in the mix - just like I said

That's me, subtle (suddle) as a sledgehammer..

I agree. I bet that's exactly what it will be

I don't think I missed a big ROL announcement while I was away. I just checked the Blog, looks like it's still burger time.

True. But that is still not a firm date. I can't hold it against them if they don't give a specific date. If they don't open RoL by 4/22 then I'll be angry. Because they gave an exact date and didn't meet it.

 

[Naomi Rohrbaugh]

Is it just me or is the blog afraid to post anything?

I thought MAYBE they were being respectfully quiet given the tragedy in Brussels yesterday. And the incident at the Contemporary. Maybe.

Off topic--- Neil deGrasse Tyson was amazing. If you ever get to see him in person, don't miss it. Fascinating talk!

Was it the SciFi movie talk?

Right. And like I said, I understand construction can change. That 1 thing certainly wouldn't be enough to ruin my trip. But it was one of many things that were being marketed at the time I made reservations that has changed or been affected by other events. It's the stack of letdowns that is getting to me.

 

[gwynne]

No, It was a 2 1/2 hour talk on math, science and astronomy.

And back to ROL....We decided to keep our TH early evening on the 17th. It would be cool to see the show, but if not, I'm pretty happy to look around. We may have to wait for ROL till the fall. If so, I'll try to book a package at Tiffins. I'm an over planner. I have to have some sort of plan.

Who knows, could be.
On the other hand, I'm still noticing redirects with DP Blog links to runDisney again today. That tells me they are having some problems.

Just 3 rides?! Huh...

I remember when they had early entrance for families with little kids in Fantasyland... that was free for resort guests, I believe... It was really cute: characters roamed, played with the kids, etc. and several rides were open. I forget what they called it... (I'm getting old!!)

It really was cute... I think I still have pics somewhere of the kids playing "Mickey Says" with Mickey, Peter Pan and Wendy! And Alice and the Mad Hatter rode Tea Cups and posed for pics with the kids. If it's anything like that this time, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND. We would have paid for it... but it was free at the time...

THIS is what I was hoping the evening event would be like! I want free roam characters so badly! It was my dream when I went to MK for the first and only time at ~13.. I was so disappointed they were standing around with huge lines--and it was probably comparatively less then than it is now. I would 100% pay for an early morning for DD and I if it included characters roaming and a few open rides.
