Some interesting information popped up about Rivers of Light. Supposedly it is ready to go. This is of course UNCONFIRMED by Disney. http://www.disboards.com/threads/more-encouraging-news-re-rivers-of-light.3543072/ I'm guessing that with all the poor park attendance issues, Disney will want this show to start operations as soon as possible. We shall see.... ~Joanie
I saw a rumor that WDI had handed it off to AK Ops. If I remember correctly, the latest time they did that stiff got broken in testing. I'm not holding my breath until I see reports of the first successful show.
I'll be there in 1 week - so hopefully they'll be doing at least a test run or soft opening the night I'm there.
A theme park centric Vlog I watch was at the DVC event at Animal Kingdom the other night and he showed them testing one of the lotus floats. Not that it necessarily means anything... But is encouraging, I guess... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Looks like it might be getting closer... WDW News Today is hedging towards a possible Oct. 2nd (to early November) start date... Keeping my proverbial fingers crossed... WDW News Today Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Wasn't doing any test runs or anything while I was there this past week. I will say though that I like the Tree of Life Awakening show...simple, but cool - especially during the 'preshow' where the animals on the tree trunk occasionally randomly get up, move around, or yawn. Then the projection show is pretty cool.
I recently spoke to a CM who was part of the Jungle Book crew. He said they had to get things put away quickly to make way for Rivers of Light testing. Obviously, this was after park closing, so that's why you probably didn't see anything.
