Rumors of Light (ROL discussion thread)

[Paigevon]

This was eerily familiar....

Good night everyone that thought maybe just maybe evening AK FP+ would be available.

 

[hamilkm]

Same here. Switched my EE and KRR FP to afternoon, but still hoping for Safari in the evening. Currently the latest time available was 5:45 on 5/29.

Well I am going to be crazy and try to go opening night on the 27th. We are checking out the am of the 29th and going to Universal, so this was the easiest for me! Now just waiting of FP. Only tough to be a bug after 5:30 right now. I wonder if we can see the lights from inside the tree???

Ugh. I got most everything when I wanted it but I'm disappointed that Soarin' and the AK stuff still wasn't available. Not looking forward to having to keep checking on a daily basis to watch for availability. We're a group of 8 so I've already had to do the split party/overlap thing for a few rides in order to get them at the time I wanted. I'm sure I'll have to do more of that when the new stuff is released. Off to bed....

Saturday, we're leaving Saturday!!

We're all stoked and ready to go. My DD3 is constantly lugging her Mickey Mouse plush around and tells everyone, whether they want to know or not, that she is going to visit the real Mickey Mouse soon. It's so delightful and heartwarming to see that! My DD11 is learning his English vocabulary like crazy so he can take DS7 to Jedi Training and translate. He's only in his 2nd year of English in Middle School but it pays off they both took the extra English classes in Elementary School for 4 years (well, 2 years for DS7 so far).

I'm absolutely anxious!

Nothing new for me either. Here we go again.

Both It's Tough to be a Bug and KRR have FP until 10:30 now in June.

Well nothing new available on the FP front. Ugh. Am I really in this cycle again?

While I am extremely disappointed to not be seeing any of the new activities (and still a tiny bit bitter), I'm ready to start my trip.

I feel sympathy for all the 'planners' that now have A new target date, reNEWed stresses to try and get the perfect trip plan, and HOPEs that nothing changes...

There, a RoL post and SW answer to Paigevon, all in one efficient statement.

I miss harassing the Bloggers...

I wonder if the FP for the night time safari will be called something different?

We will be there with you! At first I was super excited that something was going to be offered during our trip, but then when I told DH that it was a literally going to be debuting the night we were there his comment was "UGGGG!" But instead of trying to rearrange our plans, again, we have decided to embrace it and make the most of it!!!! Here's hoping it's not too unbearably crazy!

Oh I so feel you!!! I can not understand Why they could not at least start all the night time activities on the April 22. That is what they should have done. Still hurts that we will not get to see anything new for our trip. I am already tring to plan a trip with just my mom for next year so we will see.

I feel you! This was supposed to be a second MK night. We are going to TL that day and had planned to hit MK for a few rides that night but will just go to AK instead. I am keeping our AK day earlier in the week so if its crazy, we will just do the best we can!

Gosh, I'm so sorry that all of you are going to have to go through this all over again. Just reading your reports of midnight searches, I feel the stress and frustration all over again. Those of us with trips coming up sooner than the PLANNED OPENING dates in May and June won't be able to experience these wonderful new attractions, but at least we know (or should I say HOPE) that they SHOULD be up and running by our NEXT trip without all the stress of watching, waiting, calling, hoping, swearing, screaming, hollering, crying....

Good luck everyone, from all of those who have done this before!!

 

[walker0829]

are you in the Houston area? Been watching KTRK and seeing all the evacuations. Glad you are ok.

Cypress. I'm still surprised at the number of people who try to drive through flood water.

 

[BridgetR3]

Okay, so I could book an Expedition Everest fast pass or a It's Tough to be a Bug but no safari. Please tell me that fastpass will be available. I can only imagine the line on opening week!!!

Us too! The thought of rearranging again makes steam come out of my ears. I just cant. Just hoping for a great trip and it all works out. Hope ya all have a trip with great memories!

 

[PopGirl26]

They seem to be adding late-night FPs one at a time. Here's hoping Safaris are next!

I'm thinking they are slowly coming up. Last night for the 27th of May I could only see it's tough to be a bug for the nighttime hours. This morning there is Everest, bug, dinosaur, and primeval whirl. I'm just not giving up my MK FP til there is one for the Safari!

So no Soarin' either? Interesting.... Glad you got most of what you wanted. Definitely keep checking if you didn't get the exact times. It took me about 1.5 weeks of modifying to get the exact times I wanted.

I don't see late night for Kali for my date but I do see Dinosaur.
