Rumors of Light (ROL discussion thread)

[Marlyn]

Jungle book dining packages currently look like they will go through July 6.

I can see availability up to sept 6

 

[Mrs~Incredible]

Gah!!!! I need Sept 10. Hope this isn't going to be daily stalking all over again....

eTa: now I'm all hopeful that it will be ROL right after Labor Day....and that would be awesome... But I would think that if someone had a JB package and they switched to rol it would just switch as well....

This is really the craziest planning year ever. I am still dumbstruck that A and E will not have FP !?!?!

Thank you. Looks like 8:25. I guess I'll look for an 8:00-9:00 time slot for the safari. Does that seem right? Would 8:30 be good?

I assume the answer depends on what kind of natural light conditions you prefer. For us, we chose a time that would be a smidge earlier.

I'm surprised about this as well. I'm wondering if it's because they're not really a "new" attraction -- just a new location. And I'm curious if there will be multiple meeting rooms at the new location so that will cut down the wait times (not sure how many meeting rooms there are at the current location). If they have 3 or 4 rooms at the new location, I can see where the standby wait times might actually be a reasonable amount of time.

I have heard reports that dusk is best with just a smudge of light, as when it's really dark you can't see much. I think I'll go for 8:00 or so

I am hoping it opens up past July 6th tomorrow. Otherwise, I will be stalking for a while If it's correct, it shows 5:30pm as the last Tiffins time, but 6:30pm as the last TH time.

I was sort of hoping that would mean ROL would be up and running in Aug before I realized TH had a different end date. Now I am just thoroughly confused.

I'm only awake because we're in the middle of an extension and the rain has leaked in and caused the ceiling to collapse in utility. Of course now I'm up at 2 in the morning I had to check, how can I go back to sleep knowing it's there and could go live any time? Would love an 8am reservation (already have a non package one) but can't see them offering that so can't decide whether to go for late breakfast or dinner.

I have a feeling the ADR will be open at midnight EST tonight.... anyone else feeling it??

Yes, totally. That's 5am here though and it's now 2.40 so what do I do. Go back to sleep and set my alarm or chance it for when the kids get up. I've followed it for 3 months, I don't want to lose it now!

The times are all weird. For June 12 the last TH is 5pm and the last Tiffins is 5:30pm.

That's only for Tusker House. Tiffins only goes up to July 6.

So if I'm looking for late Sept TH package there's prob no reason to stay up late or wake up early yet?
