Rumors of Light (ROL discussion thread)

[tinkerhon]

oh another question...did anyone secure fastpasses for late times after 930...for the KS or EE? i dont recall ever seeing them and can't help but feel like maybe disney is pulling a bait and switch...

I have a 845 pm FP for KS on 7/1

 

[Cluelyss]

So I'm out of the loop here....so FP and dining packages available tomorrow for jungle book, but still no word on ROL...right?

Correct.

 

[MickeyMinnieMom]

OMG! Now old Soarin FP will be available tomorrow. There is NO WAY Disney IT will be able to handle all that demand at 6 am.

DON'T SAY THAT!!! YOU'LL JINX IT!!!

I also want to know how far out JB will be. Wonder if they are saving Flame Tree for ROL.

I really wish they had FP bookings start at midnight.

And the fastpass system is already crashing....... UGH!

By "already", do you just mean "again"? Feel like that's not altogether uncommon... who knows if it's connected to any of this... which isn't bookable until tomorrow...

So I caught up on ALL OF THE NEWS from yesterday-today. Man that's a lot of pages in a few hours!
This is so exciting and bittersweet at the same time. Just thinking back to all of those sleepless nights in March and April.
I'm wondering how far out the bookings will be available. I'll be looking for October - I guess we'll have to bite the bullet and get at least 2 day tix. I can't miss AK or Epcot - now that all of these will be available. There goes the simple plan of lounging by the pool during our Halloween trip.

So on the agenda for tomorrow:
-JB dining package (Tiffins menu looks amazing!)

Can't book FP+ yet so I'm not going to need 3 different computers just yet.

I'm so happy for all you summer loungers - you get to try these out!

I am happy that they finally announced something, ANYTHING for dining packages for AK. BUT. I want it for ROL. I can't be the only one. I feel like JB is just like a thrown together filler until they get their act together. Does anyone know how far out you can book the JB dining package? I haven't even looked. I want to be excited about this but I just feel blah about it!

I asked THIS on DPB... comment made it through moderation, but no answer yet.

So tonight I will stay up until midnight just in case they open Soarin' FP at that time instead of 7am, so I can try for a Soarin' FP on May 27th. Then I'll be up at 6am to try to book a JB dining package at TH on May 29th. Now if I can manage to catch Frozen Ever After in soft openings while we are there, I will be happy. I've come to terms with the fact that there will be no ROL, new Soarin' or new Star Wars fireworks while we are there.

Why did I decide not to book an 8am breakfast for arkeshus as I normally do so we could have a more relaxed morning. So furious with myself as it would have given us a jump on the Anna and elsa queue. Fuming!

The SW fireworks they currently have going on are actually some of the best fireworks I have ever seen. I highly suggest going to see them if you can! I love the feeling Wishes gives you and being in front of the castle is just a wonderful thing but the SW fireworks themselves are just so much better.

I thought it was pretty much confirmed by posters here that it is now 7am... is that still in flux and not at all official?

FastPass for FEA starts booking tomorrow and Norway will open at 9 am.

I assume this will be tier 1? I have some rearranging to do.

Any word on when Star Wars dessert parties for July can be booked?

Also, I see we can book jungle book dining packages maybe tomorrow? I still have 5:00 pm listed as close time for July. I wasn't able to make a FP+ for the evening yet. Are all these things being released tomorrow?

I'm on the west coast. So that means getting up at 3:00 for dining, 4:00 for FP. And I'm going sailing for the weekend at 8:00 am. Tomorrow will be a long day....

Has anyone seen the actual menu for Tiffins?

Really? My park hours for July 12-26 show AK closing at 5:00 and I couldn't make any evening FP
