Rumors of Light (ROL discussion thread)

[Karin Witherell]

Just received a call apologizing for the misinformation and was told they may have information "next week". At least I know I'll be getting more than 3 hours of sleep tonight.

Rainy day at MK

A rainy day at Disney is better than any day at work. Unless you work for Disney. I'm off to take a nap 3 hours of sleep and it had nothing to do with ROL or a baby. Just my boys needing be be run around late last night and my dh needing to be up at 4 for work today. (he could sleep though a bomb blast)

One additional thing...if you have any of the following cards: AP, DVC member, Disney Visa, or AAA always ask if they offer a discount.

Thanks, bill.

If what I read yesterday is correct we might not even see anything next week.

Well, Mr. Smarty pants (kidding, you know I love ya!) from what she said on my call, they will call back to tell us that too. I think it is AWESOME that they are calling those of us who contacted them. They don't have to do that...definitely gives me back some of the "magical" feeling that has started fading these last couple of months!

George is the president of WDW of course he would know what's going on however I'm not exactly sure the people working for him in the call center area would know. I'd say they are probably a little more knowledgable than a booking CM but still take everything they say with a grain of salt. Until it's officially announced from Disney nothing is guaranteed and even then sometimes it isn't.

FWIW: My caller identified herself as working in the executive offices...not the call center.

And it's also AWESOME the people who are getting calls are giving us thread buddies the latest update. Thank so much!!

Well, I finally broke my silence and e-mail Kalogridis as well as CC:'d Mr Staggs and Mr Chapek. Only to voice my concern over the miscommunication apparently coming out of his office. I don't anticipate a response other than a generic e-mail from someone who works in his office, however, the last time (and only time I've ever) sent an e-mail, I missed 3 calls from a higher up manager, and when I did speak with him he informed me that he got a call from Mr Staggs himself to reach out and address my concerns (unsure if this is true or not lol). I don't even care about them releasing the information anymore, it's just frustrating that all of this different information is being released.

Yes but I believe the executive offices have a receptionist/call center area or at least people that only do responses via email or phone on behalf of the executive offices.

Rainy day, indeed. How about a trade? It's snowing like crazy here.

I think I've become jaded, lol. When I heard this last message about an "update", I didn't even get excited, not even for a split second. My sister and I have been following this site religiously and we even changed our fast passes for AK on the 22nd in case it became available but we've given up and changed our FP's back to our original plans at MK. We will just have to come back later in the year to check it out. We gave it a good shot but are tired of the uncertainty. We leave in 16 days and are excited to just be back at Disney, even without the RoL. Have loved reading everyone's posts here. There are a lot of very funny people on here.

I totally understand. We leave two weeks from today, and I've made other plans as well. At some point you just want to have a fun and do able schedule.

Same here this morning and now we have a wind storm. Looking forward to the 85 degree days in the World

All of you people with snow need to move to Texas, I'm in Austin and it is a very pleasant 60 degrees with a high of 70 for today.

I think I've about given up on my schedule.

I leave in 12 days.

Do I know how late Animal Kingdom is going to be open? No

Do I know if there will for sure be, or not be, preview parties for ROL that will mess up other plans I have? No

Do I know if I'll even have a chance of seeing ROL on April 22? No

Do I know if I need to be checking the internet constantly to see if fast passes open up for ROL on the 22nd while I'm on vacation? No

Do I know for sure that I am going to have a much better time at Disney than I would have in my real world? Yes

 

[ellie05]

So yesterday's information turn out to be April fools joke . I am not going to believe anything until I see it on an official page anymore that will probably will be in June at this rate...

Thanks to whoever gave the suggestion of Hot Topic for Disney tanks (well I thank you but my wallet doesn't...lol). Got my 4 tanks in the mail today and I'm ordering 2 to 4 more!

Don't worry about July. I gotcha covered for that. Sorry I can't help with April though. You will have an awesome time anyway. Say hello to Harry, Mickey, Donald, Baymax, and Chewie for me. I already miss them
