Rumors of Light (ROL discussion thread)

[CMNJ]

So I found it interesting that as of today the website is giving me the option of booking a tusker house as late as 6:30 on 5/3 even though the park still has hours posted with a 6 pm closing.

I'm looking forward to all the pictures of Stitch & Donald Duck we're going to be seeing today.

I just got Donald when I was refreshing the special events and tours page.

I think they are going to announce that you can get premium preview and regular preview ROL tickets today but dining packages won't be available until March 11th. Also, I bet they just say FP+ will be available soon without a date given. i think the preview tickets go through the dining side of things so the preview tics & dining packages together will crash things for sure if first available at same time. They will probably release FP at an undisclosed time to hopefully prevent a crash like the time for 7dmt. I was in the park the day the FP for 7dmt were released and you couldn't do anything with you FP in the park - no changes, no obtaining, etc. The whole system crashed. They were handing out those magical paper FP (the ones for just about any ride at any time) like it was water to in park guests bc of the problems.

Ack! Wait, so I should be on the dining page for the ROL preview instead of the special events and tours page?

Can I ask are you in dining? Or a specific date? Or in Animal Kingdom page? I'm not seeing any pics...TIA

I'm on this page: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/events-tours/

It keeps changing back and forth from 42-43 items. The one that keeps disappearing and reappearing is "Spring at Walt Disney World Resort."

I'm watching both

I have both pages open now. Special Events and Tours and the dining page. Animal Kingdom for both and the dates I'm looking for.

I want luggage tags too, but I'm DVC.

I assume you will still receive your Magical Express luggage tags, if you're planning to use it.

In order to get the fancy luggage tags you have to book a package, which is booking at least 2 things, room/dining, room/ticket, room/ticket/dining, etc.
Room only doesn't get them.

Yellow tags for using ME are something totally different

Me too! And no thank you, for the umpteenth time, I do NOT want to modify my FP to Primeval Whirl!

Wonder..and know this is dining, but since we're all looking for everything ROL...wonder if my last FP time is 12:10 -1:10, that day, and I'm trying to see if ROL is available, would it show ROL since that will be at night time? Or do I need to adjust my time?

You will see all available FP options if you try to modify, not just those available for the time you are currently scheduled.

It would show up. It returns any available FP for the day, not just that time slot

Normally my kids are at recess from 1 - 1:30, then snack time after (teacher here) so I thought I would get to watch but I have a meeting at 1 now....ugh. Hope its quick.

Yes I get the silly yellow MEx tags. But I would like the tags that match my bands. But I'm DVC and AP holder so I'm not getting a package anytime soon.
I understand that's just the way it it - just disappointed. Especially since now I ordered the purple bands just because its new. I usually decline MB because I have so many.

 

[KateP85]

I have so much I should be doing today and I'm pretty much just camped out in front of the computer. I'm 37 weeks pregnant and my list of things to do before the baby arrives is buried under a list of dates we could do a dining package!

I'm in the same boat--standing meeting on Tuesday mornings that I can't move or miss. I'll just have extra computer work to do during it...
