New nighttime show 'Rivers of Light' confirmed to be coming to Disney's Animal Kingdom

[MagicHappens1971]

That would be November 14th through the 18th... Goes along with @marni1971s time frame and my guess that the weekend of the 18th would be the big RoL hoopla

My pass expires November 13th I'm gonna cry if I don't get to see ROL :/

I have heard there will be a 3 day media event the week of IAAPA for WDW. There are bringing in media from around the country. Which could be a sign about how much attendance and booking are off. But gotta believe they wouldn't be doing this just for the new DHS holiday show.

They went ALL out for IAAPA last year. What I would give to go during those three days.

Must had been this one.

Its my imagination or the each smaller lotus has a strong projector on board?
looking awesome so far!

Well, I was there late Sept until last week (big holiday from the UK!)....the seating area looks great. DAK looks stunning at night.

Whilst at first I was very disappointed not to see ROL, I will be back in either late 2017/mid 2018 so it SHOULD be running by then...(SHOULD!).

Building my touring plan for January and we're probably going to do three half days at DAK. Is there any reason not to do two evenings and one morning with the chief priority being RoL? Would we be missing anything that we normally do in our morning trips if two of our three visits are 3pm - 7pm ish?

The Safari is different at different times of the day, is the main difference. Night safari is excellent though but many people say the animals are more active in the mornings, we saw more of the lions at 7:40pm.

Also just check showtimes and make sure you can see them all and Planet Watch closes at 5:30 if that is important to you.

@marni1971 recommends going on Safari at dusk. Trying that for the first time this weekend. Otherwise, I agree that morning is the best time to go.

He's not on his way to Orlando which makes me think it's avatar related

Is now!

Is now!

And today is the 24th...

I really can't think of anything you'd be missing out on honestly. The safari at dusk is amazing, animals all over the place

we have FP's reserved for the first of December from 4:00 p.m. till 5:00 p.m. Trying to time it for dusk ride. We have done it before and it was the best.

Sorry if this has been discussed.. but do we know if there will be a RoL dining package?

Nothing has been released. @wdwmagic would make an announcement on this web site once they are available.

Pretty sure if it's a safe bet, but as @DarthFiscus75 said, nothing firm has been announced. (Other than the May 1st stuff that poked out the other day)

A lot of ifs here- but since it doesn't look like there will be a dining package, do you think we should grab a fast pass for it? (When/if applicable)

Thank you. @21stamps - That won't help you since you will be there the end of November thru December. But at least you you know what's going. you never know. they might open up when you are there

I imagine that if it does open before both of our trips that it will be PACKED. I'd much rather do a dining package than a FP.. But doesn't look like that will be the case. I'd take a FP at this point!

It's still five to six weeks out till we will be down there and we aren't into November yet.

Sure, I'd grab a FP for it.

So what's the latest rumor on soft openings? I'm beginning to think there won't be any except maybe the day before the official opening, just like Jungle Book.
