Rumors of Light (ROL discussion thread)

[babyblues425]

I think even the Disney princess are fed up with Disney lack of information and planing on ROL

I suggest emailing:George.Kalogridis@disney.com. The CEO office called me back within 15 mins. I emailed about a clueless cast member on the phone in concern of my club villain AP discount, which the lady who called me took care of. I mentioned Rivers of Light and my displeasure with this whole thing. She very much listened to me. She said dining packages and fastpasses are postponed. But she would keep me in the loop and she knows what I want in terms of a dining package. If I get one before she can, I am supposed to notify her. She forwarded my email to other departments so they can also keep me in the "loop." I was happy after that phone call.

Good to know about the DME account ... i didn't realize that either!

Not sure if we're all the better for our new knowledge from the DPB, but pretty sure we are because of this thread!

I know, I was all ready to set up an account and I was like - oh! Of course, no one one has answered my question about Lady Tremaine, ahem!

This is what I wrote in my email: "I also have a qualm about the Rivers of Light dining information I am receiving. I continue to hear different information. "Check March 12th""Check tomorrow"" Rivers of Light is postponed""There are no dining packages." Disney expects me to plan 180 days in advance and I can't plan properly if I don't have the information. I am coming in July for my 30th birthday and hope to see Rivers of Light with a dining package"

Another business day goes by, and I'm 50 pages behind. But, did manage to catch @KMWoolley's Lego blog post.

I'm just glad Disney was thinking about me this weekend. I was able to take a 4-day vacation, not check DIS, and STILL not miss the ROL dining package launch! Now that I'm back, I have a feeling more information will come out sometime in the future.....

I de-lurked briefly 50 or 60 pages back!

Which is to say, hi, I'm the Amanda in question. I can't take all the credit though, I riffed off something my brother said to me in a message. Our trip starts 4/24 and we've gone a little mad!

Well played, my friend. Well played.

I toasted you tonight!

OMG! Huey, Dewey, and Louie!

Can you just update your reservations online? I've tweaked mine multiple times and it doesn't do a thing to the ADRs.

No, I tried. We will arrive on Wednesday May 4th and I'll add the day as soon as we arrive. Hopefully, there will be a few fps left for that Saturday night. We have a full Sunday, so we don't want to be out too late.

ETA: I'm going to leave well enough alone. One of these people is going to end up deleting my plans, then you will hear me screaming from Virginia.

 

[Benihana]

OMG! Huey, Dewey, and Louie!

I loved the replies to that one!

How long does it take to get a comment approved? I posted this in response to yesterday's "Dates Announced for 2017 D23 Expo" ...but nothing yet:

"So awesome that the dates for next summer’s event have been announced. It’s great to have information in advance. It makes planning a trip so much easier! Now if only some information about next months Animal Kingdom events could be announced."

Did I take the sarcasm too far :/

If you're making Dining plans during childbirth I now suggest the name ADRianna

Just as subtle as your blog comments! Congratulations on your multi-talentedness

Nicely done Amanda! Thank you for joining the 'Committee for DPB Rivers of Laughter Bombardment' We appreciate your service to our cause.

Well, I have joined in the DPB fun once again, but I don't hold out much hope, because none of my comments have made it past moderation so far :

Ohhh, I'm so excited! I've always wanted to go to the D23 Expo and I bet this one will be the best one in years! Even better than last year when they announced Star Wars Land and Toy Story Land. I really think this year will be when they announce that often rumored, but never confirmed ... no, not that 5th park in Orlando ... it's the show schedule, FP+ availability, dining package information for Rivers of Light and extended hours for the nighttime fun at Animal Kingdom! Yes! I know how excited everyone is going to be about this, so get your packages booked asap so you don't miss out!

I feel bad for all of you leaving in the next few months, at least I'm not going until October.

I think someone over at DPB is deleting comments. I'm not seeing any for the ducks or for Bob Saget anymore -- and I could definitely see them a few hours ago. The Lego ones all seem to be there, though.

Must be a parks blog party pooper. That has to be an awful job. I think great minds will continue to work on sneaking ROL related hilarity into the comments.

But you can still enjoy the hootenanny fun here in the ROL Lounge.

I suppose the silver lining is that this means someone besides the moderator is reading them. I really enjoyed the creativity of the posts that got through today. You know who you are, Great job. Let's keep it up and force them to read that we are not happy with the lack of communication.

Not only do we have to get our comments through moderation on the blog, now we have to keep them there.
Fine. I enjoy a challenge!
