Rumors of Light (ROL discussion thread)

I still see Animal Kingdom special Activities but still can't click on it either.

Same here

Thank you! I've tried to give away two ADRs in the past and have had the other person waiting, but both times they haven't gotten it. I'll try again if I get the RoL packages I plan to.

There is also the factor of OTHER PEOPLE looking for ADRs as well. There is not a way to directly exchange them (and whatever there was got closed when the ADR scalping apps got shut down), so when it is released, it is released into the wild and anyone searching for that day/time will see it and can grab it. I guess maybe both parties could agree to be up at say 3am to do it when perhaps there would be fewer people searching for reservations (ignoring that people from all over the world come to Disney, so...), but there is pretty much always going to be the chance that someone else can grab it before the "arranged" person can.

What I find weird is that, at least since I have been looking for an ROL dining package, Yak & Yeti Local Foods (QS) says call 407-WDW-DINE to make a reservation. I didn't think it took ressies, since it's a QS. Now maybe it has said this all along, and I just never noticed until recently.

At least I'm lucky enough that I'm checking at 11am and not 6am or worse 3am. Bit awkward at work mind but at least I'm not getting up.

Same here. I wouldn't be getting up at 6am for this, it's not that important to me to ruin my princess sleep If I miss it, then it's my fault....

The Disney parks blog stated that there will be "a surprise or two" during the live chat on March 8th.

I read on another site called The Dibb that these "surprises" might be special ticketed preview parties to RoL.

The poster wrote:

• As far as I have been told they are still finalising it. But it will be
  7pm show ROL at 8
  Premium Preview Event - 15th April $99 (Including unlimited food in specially set areas and unlimited alcoholic drinks)
  Preview Event - 16th April $49 (Including dinner and soft drink)
  Preview Event - 17th April $49 (Including dinner and soft drink)
  
  All 3 events on sale 8th March.

I don't know how reliable this info is but it does make sense based on the DPB announced "surprises". But those prices seem low to me based on how much Disney charges for a basic dessert party and these tickets will be like trying to get the Wonka Golden ticket.

So with these preview events possibly in the mix for booking on March 8th -when will those of us waiting to make dining and fp for the regular shows be able to book?!

I'm going April 16 to 19 and keep wishing for a passholder preview.

 

[elmoandzoey]

I wonder if $49 or thereabout is what the price of the package is going to be after.

How weird is that mrzrich? we were both typing about a possible preview at the time.

Hope the info i posted is true and you can get a ticket for the 16th

 

[ArielSRL]

I read about the preview parties (and the costs) on a thread here, as well. So I guess we shall see.

Me too! The 16th-23rd.

Sit tight and we'll wait for March 8th!

Ahhhhh! Doesn't Disney realize how old I am....??? Their stalling plays with the odds of me seeing this show!! HA Just kidding! I do wish they'd get on with it though.

Just got off the phone with a CM. She said dining package is not available yet, but she did say that I could book a FP for it now. I'm not eligible to book Fast passes yet, so can't confirm if this is true.

 

[Cluelyss]

I won't be waking up by 5am CST on the weekend either They probably won't release it then anyway. I don't think I have heard of them doing that before.

Candlelight Processional booking opened on a Saturday last year, but I would agree it would be unlikely for them to release something like this over a weekend. However, that won't stop me from checking, and I'll be sure to post here if I see anything!!

I have eligible ticket media and just checked dates at the end of April. Once again CM's giving misinformation. No ROL shows up as a FP choice at this time

Just tried the same -- nothing for RoL.

Just checked to change one of my selections for 4/25; no dice. ROL not listed as an option.

Just checked - no FP+ listed for ROL or Sunset Safari for April 27

 

[ELSA711]
