Rumors of Light (ROL discussion thread)

[HopperFan]

Now I don't know where I saw it, will have to hunt, but saw tidbit that they were raising AP Shopping Discount from 10% to 20% and no end date was showing. Not sure if restricted location like our old 20% discount ......... but if true, looks like they are trying to drive some revenue.

If so and it's usable at lots of places ............... hoping they are still selling .................

Well, I sure hope it's not another "bait and switch" like we've been through so many times...all the hype for an "announcement". Let's just hope those Shamans' costumes haven't gotten lost over the summer....

Oh I am feeling really good we will be disappointed. That twitter has not been around long, until recently been very controlled and even now is minimally creative. I don't think Disney would hand over anything too big to them.

So if the art matches - the bottom is their twitter handle. The writing that arcs at top is "I (insert letter with angle) ............... ing" and one has a circle cut at corner ............ maybe a new twitter icon .............?

Again no clarification on locations which is key

Walt Disney World Bringing Back Higher Annual Pass Merchandise Discount

According to inside sources, most annual pass types for Walt Disney World be restoring a 20% merchandise discount.

The discount should go back into effect tomorrow, October 1st, 2016.

This discount was offered several years ago, but was reduced to just 10% a few years back. Disneyland Resort provides most annual passholders a 20% merchandise discount already.

Disney has yet to confirm the change, so it is just a rumor as of right now.

So that is the current one ................ if the new one maintains that ...............

And it means I can now still use in park stores I am okay with that. The old 20% was always just World of Disney at DS. While it was a blow at first the 10% it was nice to finally be able to use in the parks.

 

[HopperFan]

I pulled the two together, hastily. Guess.
Bottom is their twitter and it could have something below it.
Guessing on top.
I'm ---ing.
Not much room since only part of D and T are missing.
What about ...
I'm going

To what?
Could just be PR for the MK 45th tomorrow
Could be for a new event
Maybe another 24 Hour?
Maybe a NEW thing to see in MK? Hmmmm.

Or maybe none of the above and my imagination has gone rogue.

My guess would be the first word is not "I'm". If you compare the "n" in "ing" font they're using should have the "m" with a vertical leg. Seems to be slanted to me. I'm also wondering what (if any) the significance of the background colors are.

Looks more like an "A" - I am going???

 

[Cluelyss]

Thanks to @HopperFan's cryptic haiku, all I can do now is think of all the Rumors that include Light that I really want to be true....

Besides the obvious Rivers of Light, there's the return of the Osbourne Lights....or the Main Street Electrical Parade staying....or Paint The Night coming....or something for Rouge One (with light sabers!)......or Haunted Mansion holiday (has nothing to do with lights, I'd just really like to see it in WDW!!).....

Good eye and we had talked "am" but I was thinking space but then DS said there might be gap in their name. Color is an issue too. Make us crazy.

Hmmmm - we should know in 15 minutes.

Well I said it was not ROL.

Osborne will never return, honestly most that wasn't even original Osborne so why keep paying them. If Disney brings back similar they will own name.

But I did say something about lights.

 

[Party.Of.4-NY>>>FL]

Wondering out loud here. Could Paint the Night be coming?

 

[Iowamomof4]

Could be "I AM COMING" -

 

[Iowamomof4]

"I AM TWEETING" - ugh. I let myself be drawn in.

 

[Party.Of.4-NY>>>FL]

"I Am Tweeting".

 

[Kathy Erdreich]

what is Paint the night ?
