Rumors of Light (ROL discussion thread)

[TheFloatingBear]

I don't really know... If RoL isn't ready I don't think they would still do nighttime hours on the 22nd.

Well, I guess I'll still have my consolation prize of an extra night at Disney!

He's beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing a pic of him.

You know, being the Rolfe baby should get him a perk or two from Disney. I want to see a picture of him posing with one of the animal floats!

QUESTION. Serious question. No really, serious.

Since I've never hung around a monster thread before .... they just haven't held my interest until now .....

Does something happen when we hit 500, like is that maximum capacity?

They shut us down and charge a modest fee ($149) to begin a new thread.

And that is per person ... silly Loungers ... thinking you'do get another monster thread for free

I buy the Target gift cards (15% off with the red card) then deposit them in my Dis Vacation Account. Then I use that to pay off the trips, tours, etc , and they will give you a bonus of $20 for each $1000 you spent. I know there are some who have this down to a science, (it's called "churning" and is the subject of a whole lengthy thread...) but this is as far as I go with it. I just got a bonus gift card for $80 I would not have had from DVA, for using those funds I had accumulated there for our upcoming trip. Not a TON of money, but every bit helps!!

I have the red card debit so it's only 5% off for me but I planned to buy at least $1000 worth. So how did you get the $20? From using the Disney vacation acct? Maybe I need to set one up....

Does this thread need to be moved to the rumours section? I'm starting to think so. Moderator!!!

Ack! We have figured out why he was cooking a bit longer.. he was ratcheting up this cuteness to a level 15
Just precious.

 

[HopperFan]

Just curious if they have a forum for those kind of deals! Or did you just find it be accident?

Accident. I catch some twitter stuff from them and I saw it and clicked.

Can someone please explain the RoL show to me? Is it like Fantasmic where you have to do the dinner package to watch, or is it like Wishes and Illuminations where you just show up for a seat?

I'm not the OP but the $20 gift card comes from spending $1000 from your vacation account. I also think the 15% may be a typo, no target card gives you more than 5%, unless it's like an employee discount or something?

In an effort to continue to talk about nothing and keep this thread snowballing, while staying on topic .... no offense to those experiencing snow....

We do have to incorporate animals into our event ..... and factoring in security bag checks .....

How about FINGER PUPPETS ?!?!?!

I can just picture all of us running back and forth with our glow sticks and finger puppets.

It will be more like Fantasmic! It only seats about 5000 at one time and there should be 2 shows a nite at least

 

[ArielSRL]

And don't accidentally book an 11 PM 7DMT instead of an 11 am 7DMT, realize it a couple of days later, and now everything before 7 pm is gone...

Thanks for the heads up!

Okay thanks! And no one knows what restaurants they will be? We have a Yaki&Yeti reservation in late May.

It is a bit unknown but suspected that you will need to be in the seating area to see the full show. You may be able to observe or hear from places around the venue but it would be a back and/or obstructed view.

Speculation is it will be Tusker House, Tiffins and Flame Tree
Yak and Yeti is not owned by Disney and as such very unlikely to have any dining packages

Just to clarify, you don't HAVE to have a dining package or FP to watch Fantasmic. You can just show up as well providing there are seats

Wow I did not know that. Okay thanks!

At F! yes. At RoL? Maybe, maybe not. Even that is unknown at this time.
Though I do think it's likely it won't be 100% dining packages. How much is left after FP are offered is the real unknown
