Rumors of Light (ROL discussion thread)

[figmentfan423]

I'm glad that I have to be up for work at 5:30. My morning routine now includes checking here for any new information, checking dining at 6:00, then getting the kids up. I was able to get a much better time for 'Ohana breakfast this morning

Congrats!

Who's volunteering to call the dining line at 7am?

Me!

and me! If I get it you may hear me scream!

 

[Vernie822]

I'll call!

 

[DVC4US]

No dining packages yet and no new information.

 

[Vernie822]

Nothing!

Diane was happy to assist me and said that she was sorry that she wasn't able to book anything yet because they haven't released them for booking. "Keep watching the Disney Parks Blog" OK DIANE.

Really though she was nice but this is getting old.

This morning I noticed the "coming April 22nd" was only on the Nomad lounge and was removed from Tiffins, which has coming this spring….
Back to watching….

It's gotta be something with Tiffins holding up this whole mess....I suppose they would be overwhelmed with very disappointed guests if they don't have enough restaurants to book the dining packages...almost as disappointed as people who have been checking and checking and calling and checking and calling for two weeks straight...did I mention searching?

I got the same thing. Same thing as yesterday, day before yesterday, day before the day before yesterday...

Thank you guys for calling

Exactly

I'm starting to get annoyed, because if we do get this package & there's dining involved, we have to decide if we want to keep our Deluxe (we sprung for it & worked in 3 nights of credits over 4 days..) or just go with Regular (which we probably would, since dropping Deluxe would pay for the ROL preview package & then some.) Ugh, decisions!

 

[Indybill]

Same here...she said dining packages are not available yet and didn't know when it would be.

 

[Vernie822]

Thank you guys for calling

Anything for the fellow ROL Support Group members.

I'm almost 100% sure it's not Tiffins, it's that it's not ready...it was very un-Disney to give out an opening date this early (I know it seems that it's not early at all) but if you go see the progress on construction you can tell that there's still a lot to do. I'm not saying it's not opening April 22nd, I'm just saying that they don't want to have people buying preview and dinning packages without being sure that it'll be done.
They should've never announced the April 22nd date so early, they should've never hyped up a live chat about the show. And now it's biting them in the butt.

I just can't see them releasing the packages until there is more than just tusker house for a choice. So maybe tiffins is the hold up or maybe even how to have flame tree as another choice so they r still finalizing that. I really hope there is more than just tusker house cause I just don't want to go there again but I do want to see the show. I really think this show and the light show on the tree of life is going to be the best night shows Disney will end up having.

Or maybe the show is just a diaster and that is what holding all this up. That would suck.

Ok there is my input to this thread of non facts. Lol

It still hasn't taken a full life of its own like Star Wars weekends but it's getting close! Lol

It is sure possible

But you'd think they could either temporarily increase the seats included at TH or temporarily increase the number of FP
Even when Tiffins opens they will have more guests who want a package than there are packages and at the start no one knows how many there are so they wouldn't know some are missing without Tiffins being included

Yes, I agree! Anything new on the HUB?

Okay, IASW would probably have me made hang up as well but Country Bears? Really? I've been in love with Big Al since I was 3 years old. How could there be anything wrong with Country Bears!

 

[figmentfan423]

Same speech different day. They aren't even asking me to stay on the line for the survey anymore. Wonder why?
