I've never noticed how beautiful Tree Of Life looks at night until I seen this video.

They're playing an ethereal version of We Are One during that video. Does the amphitheater have its own, Rivers of Light-themed area BGM?

I'm looking forward to the preshow since I heard you can see shadows of animals projected on the trees.

So are the cast members supposed to be working shifts there starting tonight?

The show has been running nightly for a long time, but of course to empty theater.

Hopefully that changes this week or at least we'll get news this week that it's changing

If you haven't seen the Tree of Life awakenings yet, you'll enjoy them. I just stood there (2 different nights) for about 20 minutes and stared. It's not just the 'Awakenings', it's the subtle lighting changes between shows. You'll be thinking..." Did that animal just move it's head slightly? I never even noticed that carving before. How did I miss that?" Very cool.

Mr. Miller's trips to Florida are over (for the "foreseeable future"). More and more things are pointing to an opening soon - fingers crossed.

Will be interesting to see if anything actually does happen the end of this week.

I understood something was to happen last week, now this week. I beginning to think Disney has lost it on this one.

Something did happen last week, but it wasn't the show opening. But its a big step closer.

Dang nabbit. Not the first time that has happened. I don't think many people realize this, but Country Bear Jamboree ran for a full 15 months before they remembered to let people in the theater.

So is my August trip safe this time? I've already missed RoL twice on consecutive trips when it was supposed to happen but didn't.

Disney never made an official announcement. It was what people were reading on twitter and other social media that made people think something was going to happen and ya know if its on the internet it has to be true. I hope the show opens soon but it would be smart to open it with AvatarLand.

It is very likely to open before Avatar

Okay. Cool. I'm looking forward to the finished project. I was disappointed it was ready to go when we were down there in December.

@Magic Feather Do you think (or know) if there is any truth/possibility with this February 12 date?
