Rivers of Light General Discussion and Photos

[Teebin]

Ug... there is this pradaxa commercial on tv right now that has the goldfish. The music sounds like the gourd xylophone used in the background all over Discovery Island in AK. That sound makes me so happy as I love the park and design.

Yeah, this was last night.

We're not far from this show debuting. Although a date not announced, everything i've heard online and from CMs tells me by mid-March it should be up and running nightly (multiple shows - and that IS announced).

That picture made me realize how far away the Tree of Life is from the amphitheater. I was under the impression that the tree would be an integral part of the show with the new light-up leaves, by maybe not?

Looking at that photo, it seems like this body of water is almost as large, if not larger than the one at World Showcase. In that case, the tree is more of a background element rather than a part of the show similar to looking at American Adventure from the Future World side of the showcase.

Eh, it's like 2/3 the size, so it isn't "now where near as large." Unless my perspective that I am thinking of is very off.

Where the heck did you get this? Also, looks like the trackless boats are out and moving!

 

[Yabbadabba Doh]

Well, the body of water is smaller, but the distance to the Tree of Life is almost a wash.

 

[Teebin]

No wheres even close. More like 1/5 or 1/6 the size.

Really puts in perspective how huge that damn lake is...

That explains why my feet are so sore after a day at Epcot! Need to wear my pedometer and see how much walking you actually do there.

The tree will be a small part of the show.

ToL will however have a nighttime show of it's own, similar to Celebrate the Magic at MK.

I'm sure the TOL, as large as it is, still serves as a major backdrop for the sure.

Disney has announced Rivers of Light is opening April 22nd

This is interesting because the park hours says it closes at 6:30, but sunset is not until 7:55. Wonder if this announcement happened before the park hours were changed. Also, the night time safari, is it opening around the same time?

I need to remember to get fast passes for the 23rd when they come available.
