night show question

For years I kept up on this board looking at news almost daily, but gave it up I guess about a year ago when life just got too hectic and I simply didn't have time... regretting that now that I'm planning an October trip! So much is changing and I'm just lost!!

I'm wondering about all these night shows:

1. Animal kingdom will have a jungle book show until it has their water parade thing? Any idea what the ETA is in that? I know I initially saw this year but it seems to have been pushed back, wondering about the latest?

2. Hollywood studios has always been my favorite park. I visited when I was 10 for the first time and I remember the mickey hat coming out of the building, then when I was 12 Fantasmic! Started. Now I'm seeing there will be a Star Wars themed show. Is this to replace Fantasmic or will both be happening come October???

"Rivers Of Light" is not a water parade. It contains barges, water screens with projections, music, etc. Disney is/was having some technical difficulties with parts of the presentation. While that is sorted out they are presenting the Jungle Book show (water screens with projections, music, etc.).

"Fantasmic" is not being replaced. There will be a new Star Wars fireworks, pyrotechnic, laser, music, and projections show.

Fantasmic (1998) began before the Sorcerers Hats appeared (2001) ;)

This is what she was referring to:

haha wow! I was 10, I remember it being a hat, but who knows!! Would have been 1996 or 1997 and my next trip would have been 2 years later. I know we saw fantasmic the 2nd time but not the first.
