Rumors of Light (ROL discussion thread)

The day before what?

I interpret it as being the day before booking opens. Maybe a blog post (of course in the late afternoon?) and then 7am booking the next day.

Went and fixed post.

Okay, so no new AK news for today.
Any guesses what the first Blog will be?
I'm predicting a feature on the Country Bears Jamboree.

That sounds about right for the DP Blog. Have your dancing shoes ready between 9-10am.

I just got an important memo at work that all of our business travels have been put on hold indefinitely because of the happenins in Brussels. For now my business trip to Orlando is cancelled - meaning our family trip is also cancelled They will reevaluate the situation in a couple weeks probably but I am so damn PO'ed right now! Don't blame my company for this though - they are just trying to look out for us but really there are so many idiots in this world!

OH NO...that's awful. So sorry to hear that!

ETA: Does Disney open additional ADR slots at the 30 day window to help people who get frustrated with limited fp+ availability??

No, they do not. The only time additional ADRs or FPs are opened is if park hours change.

I spoke to a CM who said that the opening day has been postponed from April 22nd. I challenged her politely saying that web site still says 22nd and she said she would let her supervisor know! Tried to call back to speak to some one else but wait time was 10 mins.

wow...now either that person is 1) very misinformed 2) messing with you or 3) on drugs and only wishes that was the case.....in any event, I'd definitely confirm before believing it!

The 60 day mark for my trip beginning May 15th was March 16th.... So I am thinking tomorrow will actually be the day if they were to release them 30 days out. I'm sure nothing will happen but I have my fingers crossed for midnight tonight.

To quote the old saying, "Hope springs eternal..." and to alter the second line to make it more apropos, "in the heart of an ROL package stalker..."

My AK day is May 4 and I've come to the conclusion that if I can get a FP to ROL; then that'll be wonderful. I do not want a dining package as the food choices at both restaurants do not interest me and as of now I have ADR for Rainforest Cafe outside the park. I figure there will be enough to do at night to keep us entertained if we cannot see ROL. But having said that; I'm still always checking for FP through out the day and stalking this thread. It felt good to sleep to 7:30am this morning and not waking up every few hours to check the website as I did all last week.

I just talked to a very nice CM who's first words were I'm so sorry. She told me to check back later today because they're expecting word anytime now and a memo about the packages (preview and dining) should be released the day before they start booking them

This makes sense & I hope it's correct.

I'm sorry.

Don't suppose you can swing it on your own?

Not sure that that has been OFFICIALLY release yet - has anyone seen a way to reserve it yet? I did a quick search on the Disney website yesterday, but couldn't find anything about it.

I think it's just a rumor at this stage. One that's popped up in a few places, but still rumor. For all we know, they're all from one source. WHO KNOWS?!?!

But yeah... if someone is going to leak something, can it at least be RoL related for now, please?!

It's on Disney's website. It's called Disney After Hours.

My theory is they are just not clear on WHAT specifically is postponed. A CM gets a call from someone call about the dining packages for RoL
They look at the info they have so far and report that IT is postponed.
The question here is what is IT. Is IT the Dining Packages/Preview Parties or is IT RoL?
I believe there are some CM that take IT to be RoL. Or the caller hears IT is postponed and thinks RoL.
I believe IT is the DINING PACKAGES and/or PREVIEW PARTIES
I do not believe IT is the debut of the RoL.
