Rumors of Light (ROL discussion thread)

This (late) blog post makes me feel like they were going to announce something and they changed their minds... but I'm probably paranoid now

It's early in the day, hoping we'll hear some helpful info.
This is getting me to the first page: https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2016/03/

I looked back at page one... ArielSRL started this whole thread on Feb. 23, and some of us have been diligently checking, reporting in, monitoring at all hours of the day every day, every night, since then. Others have joined our quest along the way, but this thread has stayed positive the whole time, with only a few who voiced their opinions about how deranged we all are...and most of those nay-sayers have either gone to quietly lurking, or just left. Some post regularly, and some not so regularly, but at the end of the day, we all have the same hopes: whether it's Preview nights, ADRs or FP+s, we ALL WANT TO SEE RIVERS OF LIGHT!

I just wanted to say to all who have shared both the little information they have found, or other colorful topics. It's all good!!

Well done, everyone!! We just have to hear something soon...Maggie promised me!

Your post is very cheery and appreciated! I can't believe it's been that long - I think tomorrow will be our First Monthiversary! I'm hoping we celebrate with Preview Party tickets and ADRs! What can I say? I'm a dreamer!

Weird - I can't even find that post unless I follow your link, which hasn't happened to me before. I can't find anything posted this morning...

Wow, they are setting themselves up for another whole barrage of WHEN!!!!!!! comments with that one....why bother? Just wait until you have something to announce instead of yet another STAY TUNED!

They tend to do one of these posts every week
Last week it was from the Harambe Market Place and the week prior to that from Port Orleans- Riverside.

That is super weird, I have the "latest stories" page bookmarked.

We are getting pretty close to the 30 day offsite FP+ booking for April 22nd.

Totally, but this one seemed even MORE useless than normal,

Weird I am the same nothing there as of yet. Maybe it's been pulled or getting an amendment.

Indeed!

Yet more questions no one knows an answer to.
It's possible they'll decide to open Norway early. They could since they already have it set up to let guests in to the Norway area for breakfast at Akershus.


No, they do not update on the 15th only. They updated April hours over the weekend and March had updates last week. October hours also came out

soon is one of those ambiguous terms you toss out to your kids to try and stop them from driving you crazy lol but at least they're talking about it going forward.

unless the inside of Norway is finished, i'd be shocked to see it open early. The outside was tarped/under construction less than 3 weeks ago when we were there. It really didn't look much different from old facade. Who knows, perhaps they fabricated something behind the scenes that just needs to be attached.

I bet this afternoon, they post a Blog Announcing an Anouncement Blog which will give a non-firm date to release details!

The Harambe Market Place one really got me last week! I agree if they're not going to provide some info today, perhaps a gorgeous picture of the Tree of Life was not the kindest blog post to make?

Indeed there was an amendment. They added "but more on that very soon" and it is now a featured post.

While we wait, holding our breath...the newest DP Blog post is about Chip and the Tea Cups.

And now they are all back to watching us speculate on their next move...and laughing their butts off... cruel, very cruel

The dibb is disney information bulletin board and as said it's a UK site similar to the dis. I'm normally on regularly until I started to follow this thread a lifetime ago!
Going a few pages back and off ROL topic, if Anna and elsa M&G go to Norway and there is also Features at Norway, as EP is tiered will these both be in tier 1 with the new soarin and TT? Leaves a hard choice in tier 1 even if you go twice and naff all really in tier 2!!!

DEFINE "VERY SOON"!!
