Rumors of Light (ROL discussion thread)

[tinkerhon]

Keep your eyes on the Disney blog guys ---- looks like the animals are still getting used to the added hours, and then packages might be available

the Safari does show as open on the regular preview event, I would think that it's just not with a specific time stamp so you just have to wait with everyone else that decides to go

Thank you! I'm sorry to hear about the work situation, that's really a shame.

Now I don't know what to do. I really want the Friday night exclusive event, but we have the 10k race in the morning and my bf doesn't seem very happy about going to the party the night before when we have to get up at 330 am. I can understand that. I just really wanted the Friday. Looks like I may aim for the Sunday. hmm.

I was busy yesterday and couldn't check much. The number of pages this thread jumped had me scared!

So what is everyone's plan for ROL and the nighttime safari since it seems that the safari will just be extended hours of the regular safari. ROL and then a safari FP+ after?

I really wish this was a separate FP but it doesn't sound like it will be. Forces one to choose day or Night. Probably the first time the late FPs will go before the morning ones.

Ok guys, the AK events operations report came out for the week of April 10th through the 16th. It looks like previews are still up but depends if they finish the darn thing...here are the details, straight from the HUB...in other news this is the last week I have HUB access

Wow! I'm not really into these types of events. I'll probably never do a dessert party or MNSSHP but this looks awesome!! I kind of wish we were going to be there that week.

and now I go hide under my bed and wait for Disney police....Again they are set to go over at events it's just a matter of it being done by April 15th. The preview event on the 17th doesn't show yet on the calendar but it'll be the same as April 16th

MM storm troopers are on their way, run away fast!!! lol

any thoughts of whether they will continue to offer this as a premium package of sorts ala the SWW one I enjoyed the heck out of last year?

my guess as to cost is easily $149 to $199, knowing disney never rounds up lol

I would be so thrilled to go to any of them and hoping I am able to book one, however my brain is about to explode!

 

[CMNJ]

thank you, he already has, he just enjoyed working at Disney because he loved helping the guest, obviously not for the money

Glad he found something better! Thanks for all your sharing info with us too!

Relax and breathe. Ya like that's going to happen. Good luck

 

[TheFloatingBear]

This is killing me! I was really hoping that they would do a preview on the 17th. I'm doing the 10K on Saturday morning and the half marathon on Sunday. I guess the Friday night event will be the better option for my schedule, but with only 4000 tickets its going to be harder to get.

If you look at the bottom of @yulilin3 's post, it looks like maybe there is one for the 17th, it's just that the calendar only goes to the 16th so it wasn't on this announcement - I think!

These are one time things, preview events. Different from the events offered at SWW (or Frozen)

And unless they change them the amounts are $99 and $49 (plus tax)

I hear you. I was laughing about some of the posts last night. DH asked so I prefaced with 'It's kind of ridiculous but' and he cut me off to say that yes it was and gave me The Look. Oops.

 

[TheFloatingBear]

I'm really just a bear of little brain at this point!

 

[Vernie822]

I can't remember if we discussed this or not.

Think there will be an AP or DVC discount!?

 

[tinkerhon]

You're really on a roll!

Hey, these are talented animals !!!

 

[TheFloatingBear]

Yes, I got The Look too when I started rambling about the Maggie t-shirts!

But we'll see who's ridiculous when we're at one of these parties - if I dare to dream!

 

[elmoandzoey]

my son works at a certain Wizarding Place...it who must not be named

Oooooh, right my DS11 is more interested in our visit to the Wizarding World that shall not be named than our visit to the Mouse He who will not want to ride any dark ride (he will NOT go on POTC!) wants to visit the Wizarding World and ride the attractions. Ugh... no. I know we'll stand in front of the flying benches and he'll turn around and walk away. That kid is such a chicken!

 

[TheFloatingBear]

Okay, I have to go out for a bit - nothing happen while I'm gone...

 

[gwynne]

I'm really just a bear of little brain at this point!

Too many potential options with no firm plans...it makes us all a little wacky.

 

[yulilin3]

Thank you! I'm sorry to hear about the work situation, that's really a shame.

it's ok really...BTW here's an awesome list from Buzzfeed, so very accurate

I'm doing the 10k as well, maybe just go straight from the event to the starting corrals

I don't think they will once it's opened. On the Dibbs they said the premium would be $99, I sure hope so
