Rumors of Light (ROL discussion thread)

I don't see how they could hold people in Akershus when they need to turn over the tables for new folks. Hopefully it was as someone suggested- a trial balloon.

We were able to ride FEA right after our Akershus breakfast this morning no problem. A CM did tell DH we would have to exit Norway and line up with the masses (another diner was told the same thing). Upon pressing, we found we only had to leave Norway after dining, and were allowed to wait right outside until about 8:50 when they walked us to the ride ahead of the rope droppers. But we were not able to walk directly to the ride, so looks like that may have changed from early reports. But the Akershis plan still worked! Good luck to the rest of you!!

I'm glad it all worked out!!! Totally worth it when we went!!!

Sounds somewhat similar to the way they handle BOG and 7DMT, yes?

When we ate at BOG on the 3rd, we were allowed to walk right into SDMT (and ride it 4x before the RD crowd entered!) But I know this is not always the case, so just like everything else, seems like it's up to the CM!

Summertime is my canning time I canned 16 jars of figs this past weekend. This weekend I am picking up a 25# box of peaches and will do more canning and jam making. Going on a retreat at the end of next week. Still haven't made it to the pool tho.

Now that our holiday company has left, I'm in full packing mode...9 more days!
Got the luggage out of the attic this morning, and I just inspected the ponchos; a couple of them will need to be replaced, they took a beating at DHS during a vicious storm last April.
Tomorrow I go to a follow up apt. at Children's Hospital with DD, and my 2year old DGD who is recovering from kidney surgery. Thankfully she's doing great, but it's going to be a long day on the road for her between the commuter, and tourist traffic, so we've got our fingers crossed that she'll sleep on the way home. We can't wait till we hit the road next Friday!

I haven't made it to the beach either, no tan for me this year.
I'll have to bring a gallon of sunblock to Disney so I won't fry in the Florida sun.

I've started packing! I fly into Orlando on Monday and stay offsite that night, checking into POR on Tuesday for a 14 day stay, I'm really excited. It is just my twin boys and I going. We are celebrating their 21st birthday. I can't wait to spend so much time with them. One of them goes to university in the US (we are in Canada) so we don't get to see him much except for June and July every year. It will be good, not just for me, but also for them. It's hard to be separated from your twin for months on end.
I will be at AK Tuesday evening to take in the nighttime entertainment. Not JB that night, we do that on the 17th. We will do Everest, safari and Kali with FP. Safari scheduled for dusk. I'm looking forward to the street parties and tree of life. I'll let you know what I think. We will also check out Nomad Loungs since the boys are now legal! They're really excited to be 21 at wdw! Legal drinking age here is 19.
I'll try to give the odd live update while I'm there. Hope you all have an amazing summer.

My overnight bag for the ride down is packed and I'm going to get to the bag for the SOG portion of our trip this weekend. I'm busy enjoying our heat wave.

Hi! Visited family and friends in Montreal for a week, and ate WAY too much poutine, crêpes, Tim Hortons donuts, Montreal bagels,... you get the picture!

Now we're hanging around at home until our WDW trip in August!! If only hours could be updated and Star Wars dessert party opened up... ...

Booked my 2017 trip! Happy that MDE is no longer "empty". Trying to both get stuff done and relax my last few weeks of summer break.
