Rumors of Light (ROL discussion thread)

[lpizzuro123]

Anyone have a link to the blog for the 1:15 talk?

This is a fun way to spend a day...

If y'all are looking for something to fill the time, there's a great thread on pool hopping to read through!

Everyone realizes the site is going to crash, right?

I just wouldn't feel "right" if it didn't!

It's either this excitement or work. I'll take this future Disney trip possible event happening excitement over work any day.

Same here... stuck manning the front desk of my IT department while that person is in training today. Lots of sitting here anyway, may as well refresh refresh refresh!

If they had just quietly rolled this out at 10 am they would've had a lot less of us madly refreshing the pages.

But there would be no challenge in that. Disney likes to make us work for it.

My main focus isn't even a rol dining ADR, what I'm really after is that rumored preview party for that Friday before the general public release date. It's my white whale.

May I ask the possible date?

Friday before is 4/15

I am sure the DIS is happy with all the extra page views they are getting

Thanks Angi, I miss it by one day...assuming it's a go. Oh well.

Judging by the slowness (moreso than usual) of MDE right now, I'd imagine people are already pounding the site!

Okay -- here's my glass half full response -- Maybe it's running slow because they are working on loading all of the new dining reservations and information on to the site so it can go live at 1:15?!

Everyone realizes the site is going to crash, right?

Glass Half Full again -- Maybe there aren't enough people actually paying attention to this to crash the site and until Disney makes a bigger announcement than the live stream chat, everyone here will be good to book their reservations. Last summer when Disney extended BOG breakfast there was a thread like this and everyone following the thread was able to get in and out before the general public realized what was going on...after about 45-60 minutes Stitch and Donald started showing up

I'm still not even sure what I'm going for - I guess anything and then I'll suss it out later! I really want to do the Friday preview party, but it's our arrival day and it might be too much to manage! Good luck, Ahab!

There are supposedly lesser preview events on the 16 and 17th as well...which is what we are shooting for...Friday would have been awesome but we have the 10K Saturday morning and we already purchased La Nouba tix for Friday for DD and DM.

Me too. Well, I'm trying for the preview on the 17th and possibly a fastpass+ for Friday.

I would be very interested in those numbers.

That doesn't seem like a link to the live chat only a link to the page describing the chat will take place

I'm feeling like George Jetson with push button finger. At least I have my virgin pina colada with an umbrella
