Rumors of Light (ROL discussion thread)

[jlundeen]

I'm at DHS right now, the lines to check and make fps at the booths are long, the one by muppets snakes all the way down agrees of America, cm are yelling out the only fps left, Muppets, Disney Jr, and Fantasmic....people are super angry
Tip for the day: take a screen shot of your fp so you know the times you have booked in case the system goes down

Good tip!! Thanks for the on-the-scene reporting!

DHS is VERY busy, I'm sitting, reading my book, I look up and all I see are grumpy faces and that's with nice weather

It is the least recommended of the green parks on the crowd calendar. Only Epcot is less recommended.

And you are very friendly, too. Glad we can all wait together.

 

[jlundeen]

we may get a "wee bit" off topic...(ha ha ha) but we are a friendly bunch!

Hey, off topic sure doesn't harm anyone. Way better than hatefulness found in so many other threads.

Boy you got that right! Some folks seem to only look for stuff to get their underwear in a bundle over. Life's too short!!! Glad we are all here and helping each other out. Now where is that new baby?????

xoxo to all of you for making this awful wait not so bad and very amusing

That's right. We do have a RoL baby waiting. Maybe that's what he (hasn't she called him a he?) is waiting for. Maybe he wants to show up along with RoL DP

 

[jlundeen]

I'm sure we all decided that the name of the baby would be RIVER...could be a girl or boy...right?

Another off topic question - what if you are running late to ADR? What happens? Do you loose your reservation? Hopefully this doesn't happen but thought I would ask, just in case.

There is a grace period - not sure if there is an OFFICIAL amount of time, but a few minutes here or there certainly should not be a problem

It depends. Busy restaurant? Pretty much all you can count on is maybe 10 or 15 minutes leeway. Some places might allow you to wait others, won't. (I've seen LeCellier turn latecomers away.)
A place like Spice Road? You're probably OK with a late arrival.

I've decided to come out of lurker status on this thread. Luckily our trip starts May 3 but I've definitely already had to redo my Disney schedule twice now(once due to ROL announcement and then bc of Disney Jr. Dance Party cancellation) and now I'm hoping ROL actually kicks off! I don't want to have a night-time AK visit with no night-time events and I'm sick of redoing my schedule/FP's! There's only so many ways to rejig a schedule and still hit the easywdw recommended parks each day!!

I can't even imagine having a trip scheduled when it's supposed to "officially" launch!

Seeing how my husbands idea of being on time is to leave for the said event at the time we are supposed to be there I've got a lot of experience with this
We are often 15 min late and we've never been turned away. Maybe we've been lucky or maybe we've just not gone to the places that turn you away.
I would try to keep it within 15/20 min.

I've got both!
One trip that take us right up to launch and another 3 weeks later
Frustrating to plan without a doubt
Luckily I have some flexibility as we have AP and can always hop over to AK no matter what park we've been to that day so we can work with wherever I finally mange to get a booking for RoL

If it is the one I am thinking of, I don't think they meant to be rude at all. The point in that thread is to post if there is something to report. I have that one sending me emails and, thus, appreciate the limited posting over there. In comparison, I jump online and check the last page or so of this one (i.e., lurk) because there is a good chance the news will show up here first. While I totally understand how the conversation has evolved into something more here, I would go nuts if all of these posts were being emailed!
