Lol. Guess you're right. Jen said its new!

I assume the ToL show will debut the same time as RoL?

Leaves were replaced last year with embedded LEDs.

They're already replaced?? I thought they still had to do this sometime this year.

Edit: guess it was a first for me only.

I don't know if we can say for sure that that is the music. They did a video recently about the making of Soarin that had music people thought might be for the ride, but it turned out to be existing stock music.

Do we have a premeire date yet? Annual pass preview?

Nothing official

I'm going to throw April 19 out there. @PhotoDave219 can share why I say that, though he might not know it yet.

I'm not 100% sure why you'd think that but I'd support that based on how Disney was putting out schedules the last time bids went out. Sounds right.

I sincerely doubt there will be previews. We havent had previews for much new stuff in the past few years. Blame the interwebz.

No Jen you are wrong.

Here are some pics from my trip on sat 2/13. Viewed from covered seating area at Flame Tree.

In these two pic you can see the lighting going in. Notice the clear domed light rigs.

That first picture really helps get a better perspective of the overall seating and angles, thanks for posting!

Does anyone know if the seating area will be open during the day as a place where you can sit down and relax for a while? I would guess that it wouldn't be open, but it would be nice to be able to sit and relax by the lake.

TO early to say, but I would imagine not. They won't want to have to do clean up from guests during the day prior to showtime.

Seems like a lot of work still to be done between construction and testing... I think we are definitely looking at April before we see this thing.

Really? I think it's coming along quite well every construction update I see tons of progress being done and with testing going on it can't be that far off.

Mmmhmm.

Blockout dates. Almost all of the dates at all the parks were dropped for March. And none of the parks have a single blockout date in April (MK included) expect for DAK from April 19th onward.

I don't know about the RoL seating. But have you seen how they expanded the outdoor seating area for Flame Tree Barbecue? It's really great and definitely fills the bill for sitting down and relaxing.

Yep, April 19th seems to be the date. I'm expecting extended hours, ROL, Night Safaris, the TOL show as well as the night time entertainment additions all to start on this date.
