Rumors of Light (ROL discussion thread)

I saw this posted earlier, but my poor old tablet wouldn't play it....now I'm on my laptop, and laughing my head off...truly inspired....and honestly, it's everything we have all been thinking!!!

I have a newer iPad, can't play it. Too late now, I'll fire up the laptop in the morning....you know, in a few hours when we are all up at 5:59....AGAIN, and have NOTHING to book.

Ok, this early morning magic thing...do you think they're going to make some kind of breakfast package combined with early entry..,,and charge for morning EMH? This along with the whole evening special event has me worried that EMH is gong to become a "fee" service now and not a perk.....

Shhh they might hear you.

I really fear it might be too late!

I am on Disney night watch tonight and noticed in MK's Dining there is a new entry. Says Disney Early Morning Magic Fantasyland and is listed as Table Service. You can not click on it but the way Disney is going I am very curious to see what this is about.

Huh... You know, Hopperfan mentioned there was "more" involved in the whole $150 after hours thing. Perhaps this is some of the "more" that is coming?

Yes I am sorry to think this way but...... YES!!! After what was released today I would not be a bit surprised!

So about what time was your ADR?

Haha, I was just wondering that myself. This was two years ago and I could have sworn that it was around 6:45 or so, but looking at the times schedule there was no WAY that we could have had a reservation that early and made it all the way tot he parade. This time around I made an 8:15 reservation. When we show up at 8:00, I'll let them know we would like to wait for a table on the patio. The long gap between lunch and dinner gives us time to try that pot roast mac and cheese I keep hearing about in the afternoon :-D

So........ Nothing again!

Dear Disney,

Please put May down and step away. The only additional changes you need to be making at this point are extending SitS and releasing ROL times, FPs, and dining packages. You have changed enough.

Thank you.

Honestly, after the chaos of all of this, I'm thinking its going to be a couple of years before we go back. I really don't like the feel of a lot of these changes. They're kind of leaving a bitter taste.

Exactly how I feel, unfortunately. Maybe hold out for that mythical "enough is enough" when people start complaining/not paying

 

[Jobelly]

It feels like they're testing to see how much money they can get out off people before they stop going. I'm starting to feel cheated by them and it's not a nice feeling.

 

[TheFloatingBear]

If you don't like crowds, and don't want to get to the parade route early to hold a spot, totally worth it. My son questioned my FoF parade fp last visit. It was the day my DGD did the BBB. A lot of characters stopped to make over her, especially the 7 dwarfs. (See my picture)

hmmm, that makes me question whether we should do it for our arrival day. We're doing Wishes - we've never done it and I figured, we might as well since it's one of the last days it's available. I figured that was enough, but maybe I'll rethink it if it's still available...

 

[TheFloatingBear]

trying to catch on the thread while getting the page to load - it's fussy today!

I can't take any more cute little changes from Disney that start next month! If they do paid morning emh starting next month I would lose it.

Not coping well, DH must have gotten up late and didn't make the coffee before he left - I rely on that for my pleasant disposition!!

 

[beesly]

But that tour is not nightly

No, but if they start using the area for VIP events like this tour then that could explain at least part of the reason they did away with the Wishes FP. I think having Wishes FP on select nights could be done easily from the IT perspective (well, maybe not Disney IT), but I think it would be less ideal from a customer service perspective. ("Why were there Fastpasses available the night before my trip started, but this week there are none?" "Sorry, hypothetical unhappy guest, but tonight it's for 'privileged VIPs' only." So magical.)

This won't play on my phone or laptop. I keep reading how hilarious it is. Did a particular browser help?

 

[TheFloatingBear]

Here is what I see when I went into MK Dining. you can not click on it yet and the picture says place holder
Disney Early Morning Magic – Fantasyland
Experiences VaryPrices VaryMagic Kingdom Park
Table Service

I know I'm not supposed to "jump to conclusions" but based upon yesterday (and the whole last month in general...) but I would agree with y'all above that similar to Disney After Hours party is in the works....

It won't play for me either. Anyone any recommendations?

I couldn't play it until I enabled Adobe Flash Player. Might that be your issue? With a Chrome browser, you can see if you have that enabled by typing chrome://plugins/ in a new tab's URL field.

 

[elmoandzoey]

Okay, Chrome helped. Uhm..... if you actually understand what they are saying, it is really confusing I think I have to turn off the sound to watch this. Maybe it's funnier then

Another day another disappointment
