New Details on Rivers of Light Unveiled, Tiffins Restaurant to Open at Animal Kingdom, and More

New Details on Rivers of Light Unveiled:

Today, the Disney Parks Blog unveiled some new details on Rivers of Light that will debut in spring 2016 at Disney's Animal Kingdom. The show will take place on Discovery River between Discovery Island and Expedition Everest and you will be able to see the Tree of Life all lit up in the background. A pair of mystical hosts will come to the river bearing gifts of light. During the show, the hosts will set out from the shore on elaborate lantern vessels for a dramatic dance of water and light to summon the animal spirits. With the storytellers as your hosts, the wonders of "Rivers of Light" will build to a stunning crescendo.


The Tree of Life will come to 'light' with an amazing awakening as the animal spirits come alive on the tree by magical fireflies. To create this amazing nighttime show, Imagineers and Creative Entertainment partnered with the talents of master puppet designer Michael Curry, composer Mark Mancina, and the filmmakers at Disneynature. 


Disney released a video of Imagineer Joe Rohde explaining the 'wow' effect Rivers of Light will have on guests and Disney's Animal Kingdom. Check it out:


Tiffins Signature Restaurant to Open at Disney's Animal Kingdom in 2016:


That's not all that will be debuting at Disney's Animal Kingdom in 2016 as today the Disney Parks Blog revealed that Tiffins Signature Restaurant will open at the park. The table-service restaurant will celebrate the art of traveling, featuring a diverse menu drawing from places that inspired the creation of Disney's Animal Kingdom. 

The restaurant will open for both lunch and dinner. It will include waterfront views from comfortable seating areas both inside and outside. The story behind the name Tiffins is that it is an Indian English word meaning midday meal or a type of container used to carry food while traveling. 

Stay tuned for more details on Tiffins Signature Restaurant as they are released.
