Rumors of Light (ROL discussion thread)

[cdnjason]

Great! Thanks! Though aren't we at Chef Mickey's at overlapping times, too? Thursday 6/9 5pm?

Yes, you're right, we do have overlapping times at Chef Mickey's.....I'd just about forgotten that, we'll for sure catch each other then!!

HEY! Our family will be at Chef Mickey's on 6/9 at 5:50.

The title of my new book: Crazy CMs or Is it Me, and Where do I Get These People?
I work in an environment that has no internet and no wifi. I use my phone, but it loads slow, and with no wifi it runs the battery down. So, on my 35 minute commute home, I make my nightly call to Disney Dining to enquire about ROL packages. CM says, no, not available yet because Tiffins isn't open yet. I tell her Tiffins isn't scheduled to open until summer and is that the only restaurant with packages? Yes. So I say no fast passes and no TH packages with VIP seating? The answer is no and this is where it gets interesting. The CM: "You see, AK will continue to close early and the ROL will be a special ticketed after hours event, like MVMCP and MNSSHP. Watch the blogs, because tickets will be limited". I ask if this will be a ticket on top of the admission ticket to the park? "Yes. Is there anything else I can help you with?" With visions of my tickets being cancelled (thus my fps I so diligently set up at 12 am) so I can add a day, and all my perfect ADRs being cancelled in order to upgrade to the dining plan, Um, no?

I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to do separate ticket event from 6-11 pm through the summer.

I guess we will see you there then! Woo hoo! Dis board meet up!

ETA: I'm trying to change ours to 5:30, so a little closer to your time.

The DPB will be releasing info on April 2. That may or may not include dining packages. That is all we know. Several of us were told that information by Disney today

To be honest though I'm surprised Disney would do such on a Saturday. I'm skeptical that anything will be released on the 2nd.

That was me, and yep, read it here!!

Hey we're all about sharing info here...heck I visit other sites too to see what they are chatting about. We're off topic more than we're on here, but we have fun!!

I was the one who made the monster comment. I never called anyone a monster. I was giving my source for the info and was only referring to the size of the thread.

I would consider a thread that is 400+ pages unusually large, but maybe others do not see it that way.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply anyone was calling names...I was just making a joke about the monster part...it is a big thread, and it grew really really fast...but we have a lot of "nothing" to talk about...

yeah, this sounds about right to me too. We've had a light winter over here this year (Canadian prairie--Alberta), but it isn't unusual for Jan/Feb to stick right around the -25 mark before the windchill, and -35 to -40 with the wind. one year we'll get our acts together and get down to Disney in the cold months! my birthday is in January, and I would love to spend it at Disney one year.

We managed to get down once in mid-December ... awesome to experience all the Christmas stuff and the weather was fantastic ... and once over New Years. The New Years trip started off great with a day at Blizzard Beach, but from New Year's day on, it was really cold. We bought sweatshirts and were wearing multiple layers. (We did get 2011 sweatshirts for a steal since it was now 2012.). We had our one and done CRT breakfast that trip and looking at the photos, I think Cknderella may have had warm layers under her gown too!

If it doesn't, I will call my contact back and tell him he lied.

If you click on the ptr link in my signature, you'll see photos of us in the first post. Looking forward to the meet up! Ready to schedule our FP 4/5 at midnight!

Well he may have not lied either. It's possible that's what he was told but things are always changing with Disney. I've never seen Disney release anything big on weekends so I would be surprised if they did this weekend.

What cutie patootie girls you have!!! You can see my family in my avatar of course, at none other than Chef Mickey's. That was June 2014 so the kiddos are slightly larger now.

I cant wait to see the park at night. I hope to get a pic of us in front of the tree all lit up like the photo.

It's the blog post he said would come out Sat. It very well may be next week when things can start to be booked

Just checked for FP+ and dining packages for RoL and nothing appears at midnight eastern time. Will check again at 6 AM (5 AM central...ugh!). I don't really expect to see anything tomorrow morning, though........
