Rumors of Light (ROL discussion thread)

[figmentfan423]

So, does this thread hit 400 pages before Disney releases info on ROL?

Great minds and all that! I was just going to post the same thing. I was a very bad girl yesterday. I hung around until we hit 300 pages and somethings to get done. Of well at least I got caught up before bed.

I really would like to know how many people call A DAY to ask them about ROL?!? They have to have a standard canned answer that was distributed to them all by now! LOL

And yet they can't even do that! Rivers of what, you need to talk to resort reservations for that, M, W, F, next week, the whole thing has been cancelled! Have I forgotten anything oh yeah check the blogIt would be funny if it wasn't so sad!

Methinks they like driving us all crazy

I think the word you were looking for was drove

 

[figmentfan423]

I did my 6am check and nothing! They haven't even updated April 22nd hours yet!

Nothing

NOPE!!!! But hey, I am still going to Walt Disney World in a month with my awesome husband, fantastic kid, and great mom. We are traveling with good friends, have an amazing plan set up, and I can't wait to get there. Won't be back for some time (Yosemite vs Yellowstone is my next planning adventure) so I'm going to make every second count. Now back to my regularly scheduled "I checked the Dis thread so I have to work out now" activity.

Oh, btw, I think Josh is amazing. I see his negativity as more a clear eyed view then "I hate Disney"

Absolutely nothing this morning.

I didn't see anything new, either.

Same here too. We also have a trip plan in about 30 days and will not be back for a few years. We will have a great time with or without ROL. Just frustrating because they have you plan so far ahead then they add attractions,parties.

Hi all - coming out of lurking... I've been following along and hoping for weeks for the release of some kind of information about the ROL dining or a Tiffins opening... now that I'm on spring break I will be a little obsessed... our trip isn't until August but a girl has to plan!

I have seen the stepsisters and the stepmom ride the carousel

After my DD5 did BBB a year ago, we saw the Tremaine sisters and Lady Tremaine walking around the carousel - DD ran up to them to show off her princessness that she got from BBB - the loved on her and took us all for a ride on the carousel - it was awesome! They were so funny! Such a great memory!

Exactly.
We've taken our frustration and turned it into laugh out loud funny.

I'm really starting to think this isn't going to happen for me for my April 28/29th open dates. I want a package :/

BUT on a brighter note, 3 hours at work today and I am on my way to my weekend getaway at Disney!!

Quick off topic question. I am picking my fast passes soon and I am curious, can you only chose hourly as in 9am etc etc .. OR can I choose like 9:30 etc etc.

All the parks are good so far but I am having an issue with animal kingdom. Trying to see lion king and memo, picking those times, and mixing my three fast passes in are stressful lol.

Only plan to be at animal kingdom till 2-3 the latest. Opens at 9

I don't feel the need for the fast passes at epcot later in the day. I am sure ill scoop something after i use my morning 3.

Was thinking Dinosaur rope drop. FP everest at 10, see lion king at 11, FP rapids at 12, see nemo at 1, then fast pass safari at 2..

Ah confusion

Your question sounds like you are new to FP so if so one tip: book the grouping that includes your rides even if the times are wrong. Then go right back in and modify each one to the times you wanted. Also, you can go in 5 minutes early and up to 15 minutes after. Final tip: you can't overlap the hour window when booking, but in the park (if available) as soon as you ride you can modify your next FP to an earlier start if you want to.

I agree with what PPs have recommended and also highly recommend reading this thread before selecting your FPs. Have a great trip!

Did you think it would change just for me where all others have failed. Let's look again.

We have the same plan, so it would make me happy as well. Not sure what to do if they only have TH dinner as the dinner package option. Not really interested in the dinner food.



I thought about that. But the fact that it's not Disney owned could explain the delay as well. With an outside owner, dining package terms would need to be negotiated, and if adding Y&Y only happened as a response to a Tiffins' delay, those terms would not have been worked out previously. I don't really actually think we'll end up with Y&Y packages, but considering all angles. I really do think it's just that they want Tiffins as a package and are waiting for it to be ready. I'm remembering that they initially posted an opening date of 4/22 along with RoL, then pulled back the Tiffins date.

I agree about no dinner at TH. Mom and I looked at it again when it started looking like the pkg would be for dinner only and still said no. We'll just try for a FP if that's the way it plays out. Btw, I just noticed your avatar is the evil queen. We are June villain "sisters"!

Sorry I just talked to a very nice CM who checked and rechecked. Nothing yet. I was told yet again how sorry she was and yes they were supposed to be released back on the 15th. She had no idea why it got pushed back and told me to keep checking the blog and calling back.

I'm joining ROL watch as well. My trip is in August. Between the new Frozen Ride, ROL, new Soarin' ride, Star Wars fireworks and now MNSSHP I feel like there are so many moving parts to deal and yet NO DETAILS! I can't imagine how frustrating this is for all of you going soon!
