Rumors of Light (ROL discussion thread)

Hey got a question. Can you only make one additional FP after you have used your 3?

Yes after you have used the three you can make a 4th and so on. Only at the kiosks for now. They are working on allowing you do to it from your phone though.

 

[rteetz]

May be you can meet some of us in person instead. With all the stuff Disney has put us through I think we are all as mad as you can get lol!!!

I'd love to have some dis meets in the parks.

Ok so after I make a 4 then I can make a 5 right?

Snack around the food booths

TH breakfast or dinner? Both currently booked, undecided--waiting for the mythical dining package beast unless it's no DDP
Flame Tree BBQ lunch or dinner
What about Sanaa?! Or Yak N Yedi? Ugh

(HS)
1900 Park Fare breakfast before late arrival (Maybe I should change this to a non-char meal that would impress DH?)
Mama Melrose F! package dinner

(MK)
Breakfast in cabin
BOG Lunch
Columbian Harbor House dinner

This is our first time ever eating at MK (that I remember, went once) so advice is so so very appreciated!

If your staying at Fort Wilderness Cabins, I have heard so many good reviews on Hoop Dee Doo since it is where your staying why dont you try it. Everyone seems to really love it.

I've put so much time and effort into planning our early May trip. I just want this last piece of the puzzle to be done with. Then I can just sit back and hope that Disney does not throw any more wrenches into planning. I'm ready to just relax and enjoy!

Because of the cost. We're doing the DDP, so it'd be two credits, and if we pay out of pocket it's $60-70/adult.

I so understand this!! My AK day is set on what could be's for now but I do have a plan B for that day as well.

Me too!! I have plan A and plan B for my AK day. I'm hoping that I will be able to get a RoL fp+ for that day (5/9) but at this point I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much. Either way, I know that we are going to have a great time on our trip. I just would like to finally be done planning. I don't want to be stalking fastpasses. The more time that I spend staring at my plans the more tempted I get to start tweaking things which is a terrible idea... lol

I guess the only thing to do is keep watching and waiting (and I need to start making my packing list too!)

At this point I am just hoping for the night activities there. I am hoping that we can get a FP as well or even a Dining package but I am afraid if they do release those it was cost us more than we can afford. If they do have 3 shows it would at least give us a better chance. Fingers crossed!! So funny you mentioned packing lol!!! We are 47 days out and I know exactly what I, the boys and my husband will be wearing each day lol!!! I plan on Disney bounding and the boys will too some what. That I am really looking forward too!!! I even stated a thread on it to help me get away from the anxiety of ROL!!

Good morning everyone

With all this non-existant info on what's gone happen with ROL I have decided I am going to be playing the handicapped card if that is my only choice to see it. I really wanted to get a dining package so I do not have to take up a wheelchair spot but with Disney being this noninformative and indecisive about whats going to happen with ROL. I cannot wait two or more hours in line - it simply isn't going to happen with 3 kids and me in an ECV. Now Disney is making me feel real bad that I have to take a wheelchair spot from someone who could have used it more than me. Oh, and I have also decided we will not do TH after all - if they don't want my money for a dining package, then they're not gonna get my money for a character meal either.

This is really getting to me, isn't it

 

[figmentfan423]

That's weird I haven't heard anything different yet.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't somebody post about waitstaff training starting in May

 

[figmentfan423]

Today is the day everything is going to be released! I have to be out for a while in an area with no cell service. Good luck all!

 

[disneyfam31]

I'm not usually checking this early (5am cst), but at the airport way too early this morning. Nothing showing up different than yesterday so far.

 

[Indybill]

Not seeing anything new either.

 

[LSUfan4444]

Now Disney is making me feel real bad

For you to first get over the anxiety you have to accept that Disney isn't doing this to you, you are. Plan with what you know. If you want to be able to change, than remain flexible.

The key to success almost anywhere is having a well organized plan of execution but the ability to throw it away at a moments notice and still be successful. Avoid being too rigid.

Things will come out soon and so long as you check once a day, you will be far ahead of the masses. It will all work itself out and you will have a magical time. And if ROL is delayed until Fall, you will still have a magical time. And if it is offered and you miss out on all dining packages, FP+ and it is cancelled every night you are there, you will still have a magical time.

Will you be surprised to know that there are no dining packages released for the last week of April yet? In other news, just 6 more days until I don't have to click the month forward to check my trip! Honestly, I am starting to get over the moon excited about our vacation. Last trip was May of 2014 and I have been Disney dreaming or planning every day since for this trip. It has been so nice to come here and share my craziness on this thread with all of you!

Midnight and just scooped up all my fast passes with great times. Whoop Whoop!

I had a hard time choosing between aerosmith and toy story, but I chose toy story. Never been on it

Good choice! It's a long line for Toy Story, and you can single rider Aerosmith. That's how we do it.
