Today we’re happy to announce that a new nighttime projection show, “Once Upon a Time,” will debut at Magic Kingdom Park on November 4.

In this new show, Mrs. Potts from “Beauty and the Beast” shares bedtime stories with Chip, taking them (and all of us) on a magical trip through the most adventurous scenes from favorite Disney films like “Cinderella,” “Peter Pan,” “Alice in Wonderland” and “The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.”

Scenes that are expected to be guest-favorites include a flight with Peter Pan from London to Never Land, the Mad Hatter’s whimsical tea party, and a daring duel between Gaston and Beast. Mrs. Potts and Chip end their bedtime story with a grand finale that includes appearances by characters from even more Disney films.

The show, which was inspired by one of a similar name at Tokyo Disneyland Park, uses projection mapping technology to cover every nook and cranny of Cinderella Castle in vibrant images that appear almost three-dimensional.

“Once Upon A Time” will replace the current “Celebrate the Magic” projection show, which will end its run on November 3. Check your My Disney Experience app for times and more information.
I love Celebrate the Magic, darn it! This better be a good replacement.
 
I just got off the phone with Member Services of Disney Vacation Club;
They KNOW absolutely
NOTHING about a
Grand Opening for ROL in Mid/November!

ALSO, her Experience in Working for Disney is that they would have probably ALREADY have announced it,
IF ROL really will open in Mid/November!
Please, please...tell me her name was Maggie....:lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao:
 

Get ready get set. We should be seeing things in the next couple weeks. All of the sources I follow say we are very close and right on schedule for that November grand opening.
I really want to believe you, Ryan. I certainly hope that this is really going to happen this time!

There is a part of me that is just afraid to get my hopes up again....

But I sure hope you are right!!!

I will be there the first weekend in December. If I get to see the Tree Awakenings, that's more than I got back in April.
If I get to see RoL, I will be very happy....suprised and happy

Do you think that IF/WHEN it does open, they will have FPs to it?
 
Ive heard earlier than that. I also don't tend to put much into what WDWNT says anymore because two weeks ago they were saying this would open in May. Then last week they said for the D23 event. I don't think they have a clue.

NO ONE has a clue - that is talking. ANYONE who truly knows what is happening isn't posting on here or telling folks who will post on here. So all we have to go by are all these guesses from "sources" and people making assumptions - and that brings us to where we are. Rumors of Light.

We all are having fun with this joke of a situation on this thread and honestly I won't believe ANYBODY even if Mr. Joe himself stated so until this thing is running and running multiple times a night without a glitch.

LOTS of sources are saying we are close, and they've said that before, more than once. No reason for anyone to plan anything around rumblings. As far as WDWNT, sure they get stuff wrong as does everyone else even the revered spirits of the Magic.

And if I had paid the big bucks for the D23 event with the rumored preview on the 20th (almost did) and they opened this up earlier than that to the public ........ I would not be happy.

You can doubt my sources that is fine. It is a situation that really hasn't happened before that is for sure. I just come here to report what I have heard/seen.

Again believe what ever you want.

I follow rumors from all over the place. Nobody is jumping all over the place like WDWNT has. I will also agree with you that most get things wrong but some get things wrong more than others....

The D23 event could end up being a sneak peek of something related to Pandora, especially if ROL is already up and running by then. Or they could have a special showing of ROL followed by a presentation about Pandora or something along those lines. :confused3

Oh I agree. Just when I was getting ready to book it DS said with James Cameron being there that day, it could be tied to Pandora and then of course he really got me and said "What if Rumors of Light is still not ready and they will be doing a new show 'Avatar Alive'" ............ when I stopped laughing I exited out of registration and cancelled hotel.

If it is a ROL showing and they already opened it they better be adding a dessert party and open bar.
