Rumors of Light (ROL discussion thread)

[HopperFan]

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

Maybe it could become a RunDisney event. No costumes allowed, but glow sticks and finger puppets encouraged.

Rumors of Light Lounger's Non-Marathon Weekend.

 

[MickeyMinnieMom]

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

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

Ditto @AngiTN. And just a quick note that even if they did offer a package for Y&Y, you'd have to book a new ADR to get the package. If Disney proceeds with this as they have in the past, you wouldn't be able to just convert a non-package ADR to a package one.

Psst..

Anyone here a DIBB Passholder? I was wondering if I could subscribe from the US...? Interested in the e-mail alerts for the FP+ if they're pretty timely and worth it.. if google conversion is to be trusted, it looks like 1 month would be about $5 USD.​

Waiting on RoL info...View attachment 160304

Master Grayson is absolutely adorable! Here is hoping we get our info about RoL before his children graduate college. Seriously, thank you for sharing such a lovely photo. I'm afraid his nickname from all of us will be Rolf until the end of time, but Grayson suits him well. Congratulations again!

I'm in. But I will require an additional tshirt. Tech shirt, actually.

You guys are in Atlanta, too? We are in Gwinnett.

We're actually in Cobb. Hi neighbor!

Rumors of Light Lounger's Non-Marathon Weekend.

Eeek.. in a few weeks?! Can we start with like a "100 yard weekend"?

I'm going to start training for the princess half marathon on 5/5 but I haven't run at all since last October! Minor back injury from doing overhead presses and squats at the gym... then school took over and I stopped working out at all. Other than hula-hooping, if that counts for anything!

Edit: Aha! Just noticed the "non" ... non-marathons are my speciality. Can I have a non-marathon completion metal and a photo with Maggie?

 

[rteetz]

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

Oh boy. I don't know if I can handle you guys just kidding.

 

[Cluelyss]

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....

Yes. Deposit the gift cards purchased at a discount into your DVA. Use the DVA to payoff your trip, and get a $20 Disney GC for every $1,000 spent.

 

[moobar25]

Open bar is fine --- just don't dare ask for a turkey leg, churro, stuffed pretzel, entertainment, characters, dining photos......

Will Maggie autograph cards be included or is that the VIP up charge to $249?

 

[DetroitAvant]

There's a whole thread dedicated to this stuff and they take it to the extreme! I went with discounted Target gift cards (7%-10% Raise) and then turned them into disney gift cards with the extra 5% from the red card so I averaged about 13% or so. Some of the people in the other threads are saving a heck of a lot more, but they're putting a whole lot more work into it too.

That reminds me....

I injured my foot (I think running, hard to tell) back in...oh, um...October and it was very slow to heal (I blame middle age). But it was probably back to about 85-90% at this point. But I somehow appeared to reinjure it over Easter weekend. I feel like I've set myself back a couple of months. I've had my head in the sand about it all week but I'm kind of starting to panic at this point. I'm not sure how I'm going to do Disney walking.... You will see me hobbling around in my Rumors of Light t-shirt...

Count me in for midnight tonight as well lol!

1:52 and counting.

That stinks! Sorry!

Try to take it easy between now and your trip. Hobbling or not, you'll still be there to lead the Rumors of Light Parade, right?!?

Grayson is so precious!

Look: I like Maggie as much as the next Rumors of Lighter, and I know the issue of value is subjective, but this is an exorbitant markup and I refuse to pay it!

How about an AP/DVC discount that includes M's autograph card?

Oh my! I must get sleep tonight so I won't be able to stay up; I have tickets to the Masters practice round and DH wants to get there by 7 am so I'm out for tonight. I won't be able to drag myself around a golf course all day with no sleep. Good luck, all!

Ha! You know it! Shoveling today didn't help! I need to get my friend the athletic trainer to tape me up with the magical tape ...can't remember what it's called but it's great...
