Rumors of Light (ROL discussion thread)

[Mambo Junkie]

Lurker here who is posting on this thread for the first time but does anyone else think they might tier the nighttime attractions so you can get a fast pass for ROL or the nighttime safari? DH doesn't want to eat at Tusjer House and I don't want to spend 2 credits at Tiffins so unless they open Yak and Yeti for the dining package, I'm stalking for a fast pass...
Ps- our AK day is May 10th.

Mine is May 10 also

Again, I was asking specifically as it relates to the possible preview parties, as we'll be there in April before the start date.

Also, I could be mistaken, but Lights, Motor Action is ending in April, I think.

LMA and the backlot closes April 2nd.

Backlot closed September 2014, I think you mean streets of America

I'm not sure why people keep saying the show capacity is 5,000. The SEATING capacity is 5,000. But it's a big show on a big lake with walkways everywhere. I don't doubt that 8-10k can watch the show comfortably at a time. Plus, daily attendance may be 30k. But how many stay the whole time to watch the show? How many families head back to the hotel and don't come back? How many skip it altogether because they've seen it a few times and want to take another spin on the Safari? Etc. 30,000 people is all the people who walked through the turnstile all day, whether they came in for a character breakfast and left or if they came in for the evening EMH. It doesn't mean that there are 30k people there at night every night.

No one can say for sure right now but all signs point to you not being able to see the full show from anywhere but the seat area

Another one stalking for the dates of April 27 & 28. Heading down on the 20th, but boarding DCL on the Dream for a Cruise on April 22 (scheduled way before RoL opening date was announced). I called Dining a few times last week and the week before, was told the same as everyone else....to watch the DPB for announcements, etc. Also, checking online starting at 11:00 PM for FP+ and around 5 AM almost daily for dining since I'm on central time! Just hoping for some way to see the show either via FP+ or dining package, or levitation....whatever works! Yawning here in Illinois!

This is us too! Arrive the 20th and on the same cruise on the dream. We are hoping for April 25 thought for rol

@ArielSRL could also do that here with her post #1 and then note it in the title that the latest info is in post 1. It's kind of up to her I think.

I don't mind doing it but I think somebody else is spearheading the info only thread....

If you mean my new AK thread, you could certainly update the first page of this one with new rumors or news about the FP, ADR or party release times/dates. That wouldn't be stepping on any toes at all.

 

[GaryDis]

Well, you've returned to the right place!

You want nothing? We got nothing!

How much nothing? Too much nothing!

 

[ArielSRL]

I will be starting the thread this evening. I will design it so that the first post has constantly updated info. I'll prob also update the title based on new info.

Once you post the link, I'll put it in the first post of this one.

Yeah we can hang out on this thread and get updated info on that one. This can be the Maggie update thread.

For the life of me I cannot think of any pathways around the lake (river) that provide unobstructed views. The bridge would be an awesome vantage point, but I cannot believe they will allow people to stand on the bridge - that area is already going to be congested enough funneling all the ROL watchers into and out of the seating area. Where do people think you are going to be able to stand and watch the show from?

But I have to share!

I just put my weekly donation into my double secret stash and then I added up what I had and what need to do unsanctioned Ohana, Star Wars Dessert and ROL Mythical Preview Party (non-premium!). I hadn't really figured it out in all the excitement...

I have exactly $1 more than I need! How weird is that? And a month more to save! Now, if we did the premium party, I'd have a ways to go!

It is *almost* dancing banana worthy...but not quite...

How is that not dancing banana worthy?! Dance away!!

Done!

Read a rumor on another board that park hours are "supposed" to be updated Monday. Fingers crossed....at least that may open FPs if nothing else??

Nice! See you on the cruise! We're doing the Star Wars dessert party and fireworks on the 25th.
