Rumors of Light (ROL discussion thread)

yes, park closes at 6:30pm Sunday at 7pm

Cool! But it looks like twice as many tickets sold for those parties than the premium one on Friday the 15th, correct? Just trying to figure out all my options - any info is helpful!! Thanks!

Or you can change it to anything you want!

I can?!?! I didn't know that!!!

I'm in the same boat - but not because I'm doing anything as ambitious as a marathon (or half marathon?) - just arrival day on 15th (and $ concerns). But I am attracted to shiny objects and would also like a lanyard!

Soooo, reflecting on my errands - will we need a new "Lucky to Score a Preview Party Trying to Re-work my Entire April Trip Strategies" thread, or can we continue to clutter this one? Because, frankly, I am going to need some opinions!

Read my comparison response I just posted, maybe that will help you decide.

If you don't go Friday go Sunday with me and we can have a mini meet up!

Surely reworks are topical. They are related to preview party planning angst.

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?

If ROL and the nighttime safari open up by June 7....I plan to rope drop the safari as well as FP it at night. If the dining package does not include breakfast by then, I'll FP ROL too....though it remains to be seen if any of it will be available by June 7.

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!

Wait. He won't go on Pirates?

 

[jlundeen]

I wonder if, when the new attractions come out, if AK will become a TIERED FP selection park like HS and EPCOT

Yes! I will go find your comparison response! Sunday is the best day for us, just hard to resist the Friday party! I say it like it's a given that I'll have any choice/availability!

Since we have a whole lot of nothing but waiting!! I guess I chime in and say I'll work on my Dis Veteran status. Lol

My kids (DS11, DD9) are the opposite -- I can't get them interested in going to US to save my life!!

Then again, when they heard that The Walking Dead was going to have a permanent attraction in US Hollywood, they wanted me to book a trip there! And they have only seen a few tame clips of that show...

They better not put ROL and Safari in the same tier if they do that!!

 

[babyblues425]

I think my DH is going to make me cancel the trip if I don't start getting more than 3 hours of sleep. Come on already Disney!!

Off topic, but is there a way to change your user name? I definitely didn't have my thinking cap on when I did mine.

I think I would have to get a New Husband if he though I would cancel Disney lol

 

[AngiTN]

she's not running, just me. We should meet before the race. Did you see the program guide is out? http://as2.wdpromedia.com/media/rundisney/star-wars-wdw-half-marathon/SWHM16_WDW_Program_Online.pdf

Thank you! I can now go in and finalize our plans. Melody is running in the kids race on Saturday and I had no clue what time to plan around. We are, for now, doing Club Villain that night so I have our FP at HS for after the kids race. We'll hang out and swim at the resort before heading to ESPN

I'll be at that club villain too fellow rol booking sufferer!

Good morning gang....I see I slept in and didn't miss much. Took me awhile to read through all the pages though! You've been busy. Good news about the preview parties. You'd think they would want to start selling tickets soon, wouldn't you?

Its almost 9:00 and I have a meeting at 10:00 so I'll Check back after. Have a great day!

I'm fairly sure they would be in the same tier. They'd have to disperse those crowds somehow.

 

[elmoandzoey]

Wait. He won't go on Pirates?

Nope. And I have no idea why. I guess he doesn't have any idea either but he will not go on POTC. He's my little wuss...

DS11 is so much in love with HP at the moment he just wants to go and visit Hogwarts and Diagon Alley.... I think I could leave him there for the whole day and he'd be over the moon! I think if I told him TWD was right next to HP in Hollywood, he'd probably not want to go there I'd really really like to see that TWD attraction though. I am too chicken to do Universal's Horror nights but I think I could do that. Well... maybe... I don't know. I had to leave the Mummy haunted house that used to be at Universal Hollywood years ago because it scared the **** out of me when one of the mummies reached out of us. Almost had a heart attack. Oh wait, now I know why my DS11 is such a wuss

You can just walk through Hogwarts if he decides he doesn't want to ride. They call it the "Castle Tour."

Fun! The only reason we won't is if that's the only night I can get RoL package. I really want to take the rest of my group to see it. DH and I loved it last month.
