Is interim the same as temporary?

 

[MonkeyHead]

Wow. I'm sure it'll have all the hallmarks of a show thrown together in a week.

 

[BubbaQuest]

lololololololol

You know what? Good for them. Having something new is better than putting off the late hours because of delays. Rivers of Life will premiere when it's ready.

 

[rreading]

Interesting. Wonder if it'll transition to a pre show if it's good?

 

[JustInTime]

This is not a good sign at all. Temporary things tend to be permanent around Walt Disney World. Let's hope we get the full show soon. Disappointed we will be getting ROL is pieces, basically.

Disaster. 50/50 at best we ever see Rivers of Light.

 

[Goofyque']

Great! Now I want to see both!

When does fastpass open for all this

That's kind of how I feel...why do I think this Jungle Book show will still be here come 2021? And I'm usually a Disney optimist....but ROL must be basically dead in the water to warrant a temporary show. Tells me they have no idea how/or when it will be fixed.

When does fastpass open for all this

When Disney announces it

When does fastpass open for all this

When they discover they can't make a profit from spinning it as a cupcake party first.

It won't. Count on a $75 dessert party.

 

[DABIGCHEEZ]

It won't. Count on a $75 dessert party.

And think... when/ IF ROL ever does open, then they can up it to $125

What a disappointment... Interim means temporary which by Disney definition is long-lasting!

 

[BrianLo]

Good on them for putting something together in light of the disappointment of not being ready.

I have to laugh at the suggestion this means RoL is cancelled permanently. Because yes, they are just going to throw away all those barges, fountains and autonomous vehicles.

On the other hand, it certainly means there is no pressure to have RoL ready for anytime soon.

 

[oceanbreeze77]

I could see charges for an "exclusive nighttime show dessert party" but what about fastpass for EE, KS, etc

I certainly hope it's ready by the time I have a planned trip the week of 10/30.

Interim show lasting for as long as the temporary toon town tents!

 

[DABIGCHEEZ]

Granted, we haven't seen what this interim show will be. However, a big part of the disappointment I have is that ROL has been Disneyfied with the Jungle Book inclusion. I would have greatly preferred for them to go ahead with the other new attractions/entertainment and give us the full ROL when ready and without a Disney tie-in as was originally planned... THAT was something refreshing to look forward to.
