Hello everyone! This is my first time posting on one these forums. I have actually been following this thread since the beginning. You guys made me feel compelled to finally start an account an join in on the fun/madness! =) So just wanted to say "hi" before I start chiming in. I have to say you have all been very entertaining!

I HATE to be the bearer of bad news but for some reason I still have access to the HUB, today is the day the parks post their in park events and now it shows the preview events all cancelled.
It's showing the 15th Premium Preview and both the 16th and 17th preview events cancelled...they were cancelled 3/22
There's an event showing for April 19th called "Awaken Summer" no details on it, it's all TBD other than to say it's a promotion event, for 600 people and will start at 7:15pm until 9pm. It could be DPB meet up or just bloggers and media event
sorry everyone

Thank you for this but that makes me so sad. Hubs and I were really looking forward to enjoying AK at night without our kids. Oh well... maybe next time.

Not sure why the snark is necessary. Sometimes we see different things on different devices/operating systems (see the title of this thread for an example).

No offense. or is it off fence.

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
From my bed so warm
To the Disney MDE
I must be looking for rezzies
Rezzies for a show
But the River of Light
is not ready to go

@yulilin3 - sorry to trouble you with another question... was there information on whether the premium preview on the 15th was going to have tickets available to the "general" public (Not DVC, passholder, etc?).

I don't know what to do at this point! I almost wish we weren't there that day...it's our arrival day so I had already ruled it out - too disruptive to our plans, but now don't know what to do if it were available...change a bunch of stuff, or give it up altogether...

I welcome any thoughts on the subject, or feedback any other April peeps on what their plans are...I know there were race people that didn't want to do that date...

Another blow to the ROL cause! Thanks so much for the information - I know everyone appreciates it. I'm very disappointed but I'd rather just know what I'm working with that week at this point. Do you know what park if "Awaken Summer" is in?

Does anyone know a sad song about rivers?

"Awaken Summer" is at AK.

Where will they even put a standby line for ROL? I feel like the walkways are really small as is but I haven't been to AK in a while.

They will probably use the walkway between Nemo and the entrance to Dinoland.

Thanks for passing the info along...is there any mention of FP or dining packages, or park hours being updated?

the dinning packages still show on the Tusker House and Flame Tree page, and the RoL info page has no mention of fp but it hasn't been updated since they announced the opening date

it looked to be for the general public...if you want to do an event how about looking into Club Villain?

When you do a search for Awaken Summer on DME, it shows up as something at all the parks but not specifics, but it doesn't sound like the event on the 19th will be open to the public. hmmmm....

Yup. I've been seeing that there for a while now: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/events-tours/summer/

For my river song:

I was thinking of that one! My former boss used to have a weird fish mounted to his wall (like a trophy fish), but it would sing that song when you walked by.

You have keep observational skills, I hadn't noticed it! What does it mean, lol!

Besides them trying to DRIVE ME ?!?!?!

Don't know.

ETA: As I have been checking for ANYTHING RoL that might show up under Special Events and Tours, I sort for AK and get just a few selections. But right below those AK selections are a couple of park wide ones, this included.

Why couldn't there be a blog post about it or something!

that's just Disney trying to show everything that's opening this Summer, hyping up the season

@yulilin3, thanks for the updates. Bummer about the preview parties, but still hopeful ROL will open on time.

Any new/more info on Early Morning Magic?
