Rumors of Light (ROL discussion thread)

[Benihana]

I am getting a Tshirt and a button to wear that day.

Anyone else planning to be in Animal Kingdom this day? I would love to attend a Non-Preview event. Perhaps we could organize one every month until ROL officially opens.

@Bvcfourus - It is not Disney owned but we went there a few years ago and had no issues getting a table. It was probably around 630. I think we waited just a few minutes and walked up and down the BW. I remember the nachos were pretty good.

I feel in the dark. Who is Joe Rohde?

The guy with the earrings in the video.

... hehehe.

I don't know his official title but he played a big role in ROL development.

Somewhere there on 4/22 needs to get him to sign a button and give him a button! Hopefully he has a sense of humor about it...

WOW now I just found out Disney stop selling their stuffed pretzels. I was really hoping to try them. I am starting to be afraid to read any more Disney news lol!!!

Yep. I'm sooooo disappointed in this. I was drooling for the sweet cream cheese one at MK.

Totally agree and great comments--- the way this has been handled has been awful --- and honestly, how come the "charge extra" events don't seem to have all of these problems and months of uncertainty?

Well, my comment was deleted...suspected it would be. But what galls me even more are the comments about how we should stop with the negative comments...oh if they only knew!

 

[Paigevon]

Yes it was you! Thanks a bunch!!

Hmm... all the sudden availability for these late post-closing TH reservations cant help but get my wheels turning. I wonder if they are trying to put some people in the park around 8 in May for a super soft opening of ROL. One can hope!!

Shhhh don't let my heart hear you. I'd rather be shocked than disappointed!

And you're very welcome

TheFloatingBear, I was so looking forward to seeing you gently drift down the ROL in your honey pot...

He was one of the lead designers of AK. Worked (works?) in Imagineering.

So irritated, out of our four days of vacation MK has emh at night, a DAH event, emh in the morning, and EMM on our last day which is also our PPO breakfast at CP. Beyond frustrating that they are doing this so close to people's vacation with little hope to switch things around.

Ugh! So annoying, right?

Us June people have the EMM schedule but we don't know if they will extend the DAH event. I managed to avoid EMM. I doubt I can avoid DAH then, if they do extend.

Here's "the video" I was referencing.

Hurray!

Not sure how that tigger got there!

What kills me too is the famous "third world problem" comments. We get it!! But like someone mentioned yesterday --- these trips (food alone!!) cost a ton, and people should be able to plan for their trips the way they choose. Disney is the one that pressures everyone to plan early , and then they do something like this?

Photobomb?

@gwynne - That's how we always buy our APs. We buy a certain number of days tickets with our room package and then upgrade when we get there. This way the price is a little staggered. We paid ~700 with our package last month and this month we still need ~900 to buy 2 APs. I dreadddd the day my DD needs one too. Ouch!

He always finds a way to bounce his way in

I find comments like that annoying too. It would be very nice if those posters would say what they want to say without chiding others.

I've been floating my way through the interwbez and what I've been reading is hot mess, major tech problems and such. No date set hoping for June etc. Not sure how good the info is, just wanted to share what I found. Most of what I've seen has already been found here you guys are the best

So true

But, a lot of BOG times have opened up in September, if there are folks going during that time, after 6PM.
