Rumors of Light (ROL discussion thread)

[gwynne]

Are any of us even remotely surprised by this postponement? I guess better they get it right the first time than having lots of technical issues (and disappointed guests) if ROL is truly not ready. Oh well!


Congrats on the birth of Grayson James, KateP85!! Many blessings to your growing family!

Just my opinion, it's information that is being passed out today.
There is a Joe Rohde event at AK on the 22nd that strongly indicates to me that RofL will open that day.
I always appreciate any and all updates, but I don't think we've reach the point of knowing about a definite postponement yet.

I say we ALL call and see how many different responses we get!

Are there bonus points if Maggie answers?

Grayson James was born at 9.58pm weighing 7lbs 13oz. We're both fine and I officially found something more painful that waiting for RoL info!

Congratulations!

bummer

NO, hitting 400 today is due to a massive boost, thanks to all the Congratulations posts. I hope we hit 500 today so Kate sees how many people were sympathizing and are now happy for her.

Just stepping back to echo another poster's question...

Is it possible that the reported delay of 04/22 opening is for dining packages only and/or opening of Tiffin's as it relates to the RoL and not the RoL show itself? My apologies, if this was already re-clarified and I missed it.

Just for a laugh I checked the blog. Today's funny, phone cases one with AK on it. I wonder what comments might be made about it

Oh, yes, I agree...we are a big happy family, and now Grayson is ONE OF US!!!

Just called and spoke to 2 CM
First CM checked and it still says opening on the 22nd (same as in the HUB) no additional info on opening but it still shows that fp will be available, she said to check tonight at midnight, that it may open but she wasn't sure she transferred me to a 2nd CM to check dinning packages, she said nothing for packages the last email they got was the postponement on March 11 on the packages...I pressed to check about opening date and she said the preview was postponed but that it should still open on the 22nd

I have to wonder if they've intentionally bungled this night-time AK roll-out so badly?

 

[asbyrneva]

We are definitely hitting 400 before ROL info is announced....actually we are probably hitting it today...

Yes and pages about the newest addition to this thread's family! Congrats KateP85 welcome Grayson!

So this thread is really about something

So...we'll all be checking diligently at midnight!

he's also almost always here on the AK Anniversary but, I still think it's opening on the 22nd...he's also here right now, as usual staying at AKL, he's probably overseeing the testing

Congratulations on the birth of your baby. I think this is an appropriate song for today even thought it's tied to a non-Disney movie.

Congratulations! So happy for your family (and glad that the pain is all behind you!).

24 days out from our trip... My AK day is still a mess...

Okay, who's signed up for the night shift?

I agree! It's all Kate and baby ROLf's fault. LOL

And from his Instagram yesterday - he's already on the ground in Orlando (in AK & at night), so I can't see him letting a public appearance be put out without being sure he could get things online in time...it'd put him in a very embarrassing situation!
