I've been stalking for awhile now, so the clues are a bit more hidden. He def works on ROL because in the past he's posted a photo of CMs eating dinner and it said when the Poly cast meets ROL cast. He also had another post of a painting saying that the late ROL rehearsals had him exhausted. Now there's this, which states "late night rehearsal" and he's wearing a SHAMAN beard. Shamans are in ROL


"The nighttime entertainment event, choreographed by Ulka Simone Mohanty, will begin with the arrival of two Shamans, which are two complimentary forces who come to Discovery River bringing gifts of light. With their assistants, also called Acolytes, the Shamans will set out from the shore in lantern vessels, while a dramatic dance of water and life takes place to summon animal spirits."

4. Rivers of Light


Image: Disney

Status: Confirmed


Opening in: November 2016

Rivers of Light is a new nighttime show that will be hosted around and above the Discovery River and will feature live music, floating lanterns, water screens and swirling animal imagery all centered around an illuminated Tree of Life. This new show was originally supposed to debut this past Memorial Day weekend, but technical issues forced Disney to delay it.

However, in recent months rehearsals have started back up again for this show, and insiders suggest that Disney will begin potential early screenings and soft openings before the end of November, with a full opening happening just as the holiday season is getting ready to ramp up.


You can learn more about this new show in the video above.

Also heard we could blame China for keeping the control modules? Not sure what that means, but THANKS SHANGHAI

They are in for a capacity and crowd control nightmare! especially if they don't do any previews or softs to cover the CMs and APs. If the 18th is still the plan for a official opening... we are two weeks out!

I don't know why people act like Disney is ill prepared for this. They may play the idiot a lot, and while the first few nights will be utter disaster, I am confident they'll iron out a solid crowd control plan.

I get your point. However, Up till now it looks like Disney is ill prepared for an opening date. Unless nothing ever change for mid November and it's the biggest secret of the month.

I HOPE Disney is prepared for OUAT Tonight! And I don't mean crowds!

Show me the proof Disney is ill prepared to deal with the crowds. Oh wait, you can't because there is none. Try again after the show actually opens and then we'll discuss whether or not they are ill prepared.

I agree with you that there will be problems with crowd control. There always are when something new opens, but Disney does react to these problems quickly. Take the frozen ride, lines 4 hrs long, nothing they can do about it to speed it up (except that it should not have been built) but they organized the line well, gave out free water and ice cream and overall tried their best to keep people happy. There'll be problems, but they'll adjust quickly.

I meant ill prepared to announce an opening date. I meant ill prepared to actually show ROL to the public! We've been dealing with this since early April!
It's time for TDO to get this done and opened!
