Rumors of Light (ROL discussion thread)

[figmentfan423]

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?

Maggie does a M&G at Tusker House for the the loungers

Did anyone read that COO Staggs stepped down last night?

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/05/business/media/thomas-staggs-walt-disney-company.html?_r=0

Wonder if that's got to do with Shanghai since he was quite involved in that project.....

It will be interesting to see if more information is leaked out at some point. I do think it probably does have more to do with his lack of TV and movie experience and their concern about ESPN staying a cash cow. Iger was working with China for 17 years to get a park there so I think he is deeply involved as well. I don't think that would be the sole reason Staggs is gone but that is just a guess. I don't know that I like an outsider coming in but hopefully they will find someone good for us and not just good for Disney Inc.

Kenisology Tape. It's the only way I'm going to be able to half function with my knee. PT wants me to bring a cane, but that's not happening.

Seriously, that stuff is unbelievable! It was like someone flicked a light switch off for the pain the first time she taped me up!

Wait...am I supposed to be checking something? It's on the tip of my tongue...

Yeah, you are supposed to check your mail. Or have you not heard that ominous "You've got mail!" voice in the back of your head?

"Sacred the shut" At this point, the jump in pages doesn't scare me - I just wish I could check more often so I didn't have so many pages to read all at once!

Sometimes I hate autocorrection on my iPhone. Though it does sound pretty funny, doesn't it?

I'm not a Passholder, but as far as the timeliness goes, I know they check FP availability every half hour. I get their park hours alerts and they seem to send the alerts as soon as they identify a change, maybe within 5 minutes of their latest refresh of the calendars. If their FP alert is similar, then it's probably about as timely as TP's ADR finder. Probably worth the $5 if you don't have time to check their availability page through the day - just remember to cancel after the month is over since it's a recurring fee!




I would get it checked out before the trip if at all possible, but if you can't then everyone else has already said it - kinesiology tape. KT Pro is the best! Hope it heals up soon!

Yes, I've been using the kinesiology tape for a while - that stuff is amazing! it was almost all healed, which is why this is so frustrating! So, I'll be the one with the purple tape and the ROL shirt!

Thanks for the info - That sounds aligned with what we've heard - crossing my fingers for the 22nd...

 

[figmentfan423]

I'm a glutton for punishment! I checked the site and as usual nothing. I'm sure I'm going to faint if anything ever comes out.

There's no real news this morning, but I just watched Melissa McCarthy lip sync "Colors of the Wind" on a video from The Tonight Show:

(It's the last song, but the whole thing is pretty hilarious if you have time to watch.)

Since over 14 can not wear "costumes" be creative with your every day wear

I saw these ... animals with lights built in that could be an accessory.

Okay, wait, seriously. Amazon?

Definitely, thank you! Maybe wishful thinking about I think I read something about it alerting you of specific times too but I could be wrong.

Waiting on RoL info...View attachment 160304

Yeesh! Thanks for the baby fever! Lol

For real though. Congratulations again. He's perfect and beautiful and I'm so so happy for you and your family.

Whew! That was a lot of pages since yesterday people...

Need to design medals that look like the float ........... hmmmm ............ maybe a new challenge.

We definitely need medals... I'm thinking a spinner medal, with Maggie wrestling an alligator on one side, and the skeleton riding Expedition Everest on the other.

@KateP85 - absolutely adorable little boy! I have a 6 month old daughter we can set him up with! ;D

We can all attend their wedding, which will be held when ROL finally debuts, in 2044. Her dress will be made out of the worn remnants of ROL Lounge shirts, and instead of flowers, she will carry a bouquet of buttons, enhanced with LED finger lights.

Ummmm.... is is bad to say I was planning to bedazzle my ROL shirt? My daughter ice skates, so I have hot-fix rhinestones coming out my ears, and who doesn't love a little bling? Either that, or I was considering ironing-on the rhinestone imperial symbol I ordered from amazon to the back of my ROL tech shirt so that I could be both an ROL Lounger, as well as fit in for the SW half marathon.

What is

Seriously, that stuff is unbelievable! It was like someone flicked a light switch off for the pain the first time she taped me up!

What is this tape? I too have terrible knees - need replacement in one, and the other isn't too far behind, but they tell me I'm too young, and to hold off as long as possible...don't feel young with these knees! Injections work pretty well but if there's something else, I'm all for it!

Love the wedding imagery and the medal ideas!

Shirt idea sounds awesome! Wish I had a bedazzler!!

Wow, these are cool!! Are they real? And if they are, do you own one? My kids would LOVE that one! I'd trade you a 2012 Chip & Dale Halloween card for one of those!
