Didn't Disney tell us they would give us an update on ROL at the end of May?

It's June 1st now. Goooooooood Morning Orlando!

But no announcement.

The original Parks Blog blurb is still up on Disney's website, and here's what they said back in April... https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/b...httime-experiences-at-disneys-animal-kingdom/

"With the expansion of Disney’s Animal Kingdom, we’re excited to give Guests even more opportunities to celebrate the magic of animals and nature as day turns into night. While we’d hoped to debut these offerings on April 22, unfortunately, they will not open as planned on that date as we give the team more time to bring these innovative experiences to life in a way we know will exceed our guests’ expectations.

We’ll share more information about timing on the Disney Parks Blog by mid- to late May."


If I were to bet a churro on this, I would bet it's not good news that they'd said nothing by the end of May.
This promises an update on "nighttime experiences", not RoL specifically. I think the announcement of the Memorial Day opening was it.

I was really looking forward to seeing ROL in mid July/ end of July time. No one really seems to know what is happening with it.

This. I wouldn't expect to hear anything else about ROL until it's 99% ready to go and they can give a firm opening date.

I agree that the JB announcement likely was it. All we've heard about is the GPS issues on the barges for RoL, but I wonder if now the water screen issues might further delay things? Can't be good that a featured show element isn't even working correctly in a temporary show.

here is what they should do...

Move the "Jungle Book" show to the daytime - multiple shows (forget the water canon projection displays, they were barely visible anyways) and just use 1 set of stands (this way they can place the barges in front of it instead of between the 2). Incorporate some characters somewhere - change up some of the music - have some portion of the show at least partially hold a child's interest as well

Don't have a nighttime show on the water yet until RoL is ready - or redo the portion needing barge gps for a more static position and fix the ridiculous water canon display

They could just scrap the Jungle Book show all together and just wait for ROL to be ready....
