That would be welcomed news. I'll still keep an eye out for FP's, but it's good to know they wont be mandatory.
i hope so too
what worries me is the capacity for each show
to me it looks like FP in the front section, but i could be wrong

Most information has pointed to FP+ only, but there hasn't been an announcement yet.

I doubt they would ever make anything FP only shutting out those who can get fast passes. The stadium doesnt look that large though from what I could make of it 2 weeks ago. Who said they will be doing 3 shows? I hope so that would be nice. I am going mid April and praying they may be showing it by then. It looks amazing. I know the end of April AK is closed out to castmembers because of earth day celebrations.

I can definitely see them making something FP only, I don't see them doing it with this show though.
Three shows popped up when what looked like dining packages were leaked on MDE accidentally.
The rumor is the show will be starting April 18th.
Cast members are not blocked out due to earth day celebrations they are blocked out because of the opening of rivers of light, and night time safaris.

Most of that space will remain walkway. Can't have mobs of people stopped on the narrow DAK walkways. The expectation is that most guests will preschedule seating for one of the three shows. I do understand there will be some Stand-By space, too.

It will be limited. DAK doesn't have the space to hold thousands of waiting guests. I wouldn't be surprised if the ratio was about 4000 pre-scheduled, 1000 Stand-By per show.

Having read Disney's descriptions of the show https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/entertainment/animal-kingdom/rivers-of-light/ my expectations are now sky-high.
"Showstopping features include nearly 100 Asian lanterns, undulating hues of larger-than-life animal spirits and floating vessels awash in brilliant radiance. Powerful fountain jets erupting like embers from a fire and a 28-foot-tall Temple Lotus"

I know most think it will be opening soon, but when I called Monday to ask something about a free upgrade to Park hopper , the lady said that the dinning packages where up on her computer but she had to transfer me to dinning to do it. I get to dinning and he like yeah I can do that, then after about two minutes he come back and says sorry that not available yet.
edit, I got some code in the mail for the free upgrade, guess they are could unique codes now.

Photo update as of Tuesday, March 1. Hand rails have been installed in the aisles. In the two photos below, notice the aluminum benches in the upper seating areas have been painted a dark brown.
In the below photo, notice the new decorative structure on top of the show's main control building on the right (red oval). All of the globe lights on top of the buildings have been hidden, either by retraction of the globe lights, or the height of the building walls (see yellow circle on left). The tops of two globe lights can just barely be seen.
Here are some close-ups of the decorative structure on top of the show main control building.
