Rumors of Light (ROL discussion thread)

Not sure. I guess not.

Just checking! Leaving in less than three weeks but things keep changing so I don't want to miss anything, lol!

So with MNSSHP and MVMCP, it's what, $60? You get a themed night, special parades, fireworks, smaller crowds and access from 4 until midnight.
For $150, I get access from 7 until 1 am, same parade and fireworks along with all the crowds until 10 or 11? And this is appealing? I just don't get it.

Oh you are a dreamer, lol! I would be so thrilled if you got your birthday wish!

Why thank you! Dreaming big! We might be at 3k pages by then!

The 10 PM closing has been the schedule all along for this date. It's my MK day, so I have been watching. Thursday (5/19) is an 11 PM closing and that is the scheduled late night hours.

oh good. I am actually good with the 10pm closing. I might actually get to see the kiss goodnight

Oh look, a $90 ice cream bar. No wonder they call it a novelty that night, they are usually less than $5.

Maybe it has pixie dust ~*~

I am starting to realize that the trip I took 10 years ago was the ideal time to go. The dining plan was well worth the price, included appetizers then, the CRT had pictures with the meal which we were only charge one TS credit for so I had a little pixie dust that trip as well. We got another meal at GFC to celebrate my new (and current) job our last nite there. The crowds were manageable in June. We used the EMH to their potential.

I saw this on another thread and it cracked me up:

No one knows what the delay is for? There's a monster thread on the yet-to-be-announced dining events for Rivers of Light as well, that has turned into a giant therapy session while people wait for the official release of the hours, fastpass slots and dining options.

Love this therapy session!

Ha! Me too!

I feel like the hours are messed up! I picked my days 6 months ago so I could book dining. Now park times are changing.
June 5 MK was 9-midnight NOW 9-10

June 7 HS was 10-10 NOW 9-8:30 AND FANTASMIC IS STILL LISTED AT 9m

June 10 AK is listed as open til 8m. Do we think that will change to a later time??

June 12 MK was 9-midnight, NOW 9-10!

I had days chosen so I could be in a park with extra magic hours! I can't really change my park choices now, because I have restaurants booked. I'm not very happy!!!

 

[pigletgirl]

Anything new?

 

[dachsie]

Anything new?

No preview parties. Probably not going to see dining packages until Tiffins opens.

The speculation is that there will be a lot less tickets sold so a lot less people. But who truly knows until it happens. I wouldn't do it, though.

I think @horse11 said they pulled the page from the Disney site for the morning stuff. That might have been in another thread though.

My dates are similar and I never saw late June hours. I wonder if you saw 2015 hours. I have read that the hours for June should be extended but it could be as late as a month out.

 

[AngiTN]

There is one thing I don't think is changing.
Disney issues a calendar with standard hours.
Those hours WILL change. They do every single month. Not one time does the first calendar out match the final hours. Not once. I do not believe this is going to change.
Yes it makes it hard to plan your trip. But it's just something I've come to expect as part of they way Disney operates

I agree @ArielSRL - our dates are June too and I haven't seen any late hours posted either. I expect the hours will change especially since they have days in April and May where the MK is open until 11pm or midnight and June is definitely busier than those months. Also, can't remember the last time I saw a park opening at 10am, so not sure where the one for HS came from. Did you get these hours from the Disney website or another one that was projecting park hours?

Yep it is no longer showing up on the Disney web site. I found this which leads me to thinking it was an opps and Disney did not mean to let any info on it leak out just quite yet. Wonder if it was the screen shot that was shared my thread lol!!!
“Disney Early Morning Magic” event details leaked

Walt Disney World will be offering a new “Disney Early Morning Magic” event at the Magic Kingdom. Rumors of the new package popped up yesterday after a screenshot of a partial listing on My Disney Experience hit the internet, but nothing else was known. Today, details are starting to leak out.

I love this monster thread with all my therapists! Sharing ideas, info, looking out for each other, tests, babies, and a little madness. You know what I like about this thread the most? Most of the time when you have a thread this size it's because of skirmishes and snarkiness, and one side vs the other. I was on another thread earlier and this person seemed as if they were trolling by being intentionally obtuse, so I just threw them on ignore and moved on. This thread proves that we can go on for 340+ pages and still share info, pros and cons, disappointments, grouse at Disney a little bit, but in a respectful manner. Kudos, my friends!
