OK, now I really have to try to get there in May........

They have a lot of work to do in a couple months time... this is what the seating for Rivers of Light looked like this weekend from one of the holes in the screen surrounding it.

I'm psyched! Going in May and staying at AKL for the first time.

What could be better than a real sunset but the illusion of a sunset.

More rumors this morning that Android users can see a Rivers of Light dinning package option on their mobil MyDisney Experience Apps. I'm so excited!

I just saw that! They are saying none of this is official, but it is looking like the Dining package is only to Tusker House. Anyone eaten there before? We usually go to the Quick service in Dino Land for lunch and Rainforest Cafe for dinner, so I haven't eaten at very many places in Animal Kingdom.

I actually have a dinner reservation there for my May Trip, so I'm hoping to be able to convert that over to a Dining Package, we will see.

Hoping there will be a FastPass+ option for this! I don't think I'm willing to switch our Yak & Yeti reservation to Tusker House...

I was thinking the same. I've never purchased one of the packages so I am a little hesitant. From the looks of it there may be 3 shows according to a Food Blog article. Hopefully that will make it easier to get in to.

I already have a touring plan for AK on April 22nd, with a 6:45pm dinner reservation at Tusker House. I have to admit I was hoping I could also see Rivers of Light that evening! I hope it works out!

Hope you can watch it without having to sit in the bleachers. Fantasmic is so uncomfortable.

I can't wait! My Fastpass+ window opens up on Thursday and I have my fingers crossed that something will be there for it.
