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

[NeXuS1000]

I'm going to WDW Sept 24th... and with AK first on the list of parks to visit (Sept 25th); what's our chances of being able to see Rivers of Light?

Same as the ratio of leprechauns to unicorns.

I'm just gonna give up looking.

I have mixed feelings. I would like to see ROL but I will be there in September and November so I would like both shows. Wait till October for ROL.

@MansionButler84 are they still aiming for September/Labor Day? Or has that now changed?

still hope for that... but "by end of the year" more likely... we'll see

The parks blog marketed it as a "limited engagement", just for the summer. I can't see them extended it, especially with the horrible reviews it got. I haven't had a chance to see it yet so I don't know how terrible it is

I just saw it on Monday. It's pretty bad. There were two shows that night. We had FastPasses for the first show. That was probably a mistake because the theatre was packed. It was very hot and there wasn't much airflow (at least not where we were sitting). We just sat there sweating for 20 minutes waiting for the show to start. We could barely see the singers on the center stage and I don't know what the three dancers on the side stage were doing. The dancers and drummers on the stage in front of the seating area weren't bad, but the ones running up and down the aisle didn't add much. Finally, the water screens were pretty much unwatchable. The large, center screen was completely out of focus. I had to struggle to guess what they were showing.
I really, really, really can't wait for Rivers of Light!!!

I love DAK and remember when they used to do evening EMH for the park. DAK at night has such a cool vibe and now they have some new night offerings. Hope this will be ready for your family and outs!

Hopefully they are still making progress and haven't ran into any further issues.

Really?

Well...when I saw they were retesting during the day I got my hopes up. But by the recent responses it seems that was in error. I am hoping that by the first week of October I get to see it. But am not planning on it.....sigh....

I feel your pain. Holding out hope for beginning of November, personally.

If not, I'll see it the next time I go to WDW... in 2022.

No, no, it's the motion of the ocean!

What about the wake in the lake?

The shudder of the rudder!

... I don't even know what I'm talking about at this point, I'm just spit-balling boat/ nautical terms and stuff that rhymes with them.

Will we ever get a Disney parks blog update?!? FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND ALL THINGS HOLY

 

[HauntedMansionFLA]

Things have gone quiet regarding ROL.............. With that I mean reports of them testing during the day time and so on

Thanks to everyone with the updates of this interesting project. I hope this is ready for our trip in December.

I accepted weeks ago that I am out of luck for 9/11.
We'll stay for the Tree Awakens, and then we'll spend the rest of the evening at Disney Springs.

I also swapped our Boma ressie (had a whole AK themed day going there) for Frontera Cocina.

For us, there's always next year.
