DANG!!! So close yet we are going to miss it this trip!!! Why could they not do this earlier GRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

 

[hamilkm]

We will be there part of Memorial Day weekend. Now to decided if I want to rework my entire schedule. We are checking out Sunday morning and heading to Universal, so that leaves Friday (our water park and MK night or Saturday our Epcot day) to rearrange. We are planning on AK on Tuesday with DS that night. I'm thinking I may just leave it be. My cousins have never been so they will enjoy the day time just as well and I will be back in October.

So, that page says the "limited time" engagement is for "the summer" ... "Full fat" RoL hope is dimming for this late July traveler.

Do we know for sure that "Jungle River" will be using things from RoL?

I haven't been on here for quite awhile so I hope I'm not asking a question that's already been answered. According to the blog post it looks like the nighttime safari rides will start Memorial Day weekend along with "ROL light." Am I reading this correctly? I'm hoping to go there on the 31st of May, but the hours are saying that it's only open until 7. Maybe they haven't updated the hours yet? Thanks for the help!

That video posted on pg 584 was really good - definitely saw much more. It must be the animal floats that are the problem since they had the lotus ones out there

I would imagine they haven't updated the hours since they just officially announced it tonite

He specifically said the Jungle Book show will start ON Memorial Day. Their blog is referring to weekend. Do we have an issue with CMs not all having the same information? I'm going to go back and listen to him again. Think it was Jung, guy in charge.

He said "...beginning on Memorial Day..."

 

[hamilkm]

Okay ...


He specifically said the Jungle Book show will start ON Memorial Day. My guess that would go for everything together. I am hoping some of the folks there got written PR material that they will publish with accurate dates etc.

I'm hoping this is the case! Then I can go on as planned, lol! I was going by the Disney parks blog post that said Memorial Day weekend. I mean, aren't we supposed to refer to the blog, haha!

Why am I not surprised by the variety of answers.................

Probably mainly just the lights, and water projections.

I honestly hope you are right. I already swapped my HS and AK days once this week since they only added SW fireworks 4 nights a week in May!

 

[maryj11]

Did they happen to say what time the shows will be or how late AK will stay open?

I'm just happy they are having anything. I'm excited even if it isn't ROL.

 

[HopperFan]

I don't even know if they know what they are going to do now that their multiple showing show is not happening. I think they are winging it these days. They don't even agree on when this is starting.

Not sure the jungle book show will have FP because it's not really a full show. It's more of an interim until they get RoL working.

What about the rides? Is there a chance night time FP will become available for those? When new FP are released for something like this, does it typically happen at midnight or in the morning?

 

[ArielSRL]

Gonna have to stalk for FP again (for beginning of June). Guess I won't be running over to DHS to see the Star Wars fireworks on my AK night. Will have to do the F!/SW fireworks Combo on our DHS day.

It would have to be soon for the rides I would think if they are doing nighttime activities starting at the end of May. Maybe they'll release them at the 30 day mark? Who knows right now.

SO ..... watching twitter world and Josh from easywdw is all kinds of mean tonight towards people posting photos and all. Mean mean. It seems like perhaps he was not invited to the media event ........... I get that he's not very nice and lots don't like him but boy he's on a tear tonight.
