Disney Highlights Reasons to Visit Disney World this Fall, Where's Rivers of Light?


Fall is a wonderful time to visit Walt Disney World, my visit to the World is in just 40 days. Today, the Disney Parks Blog highlighted its 12 Reasons to Visit Disney World This Fall, but one of its parks is missing. Animal Kingdom and its nighttime events are not even mentioned in the article. 

If you look at the hours for the park after September 5, the park goes back to closing at 7:30/8:00 sometimes even earlier than that. Not to mention we haven't heard any updated on Rivers of Light for months. The last update was in April when we heard that it was being delayed and that we were going to be getting the Jungle Book: Alive wit Magic nighttime show for the summer. Disney had said we would hear an update on Rivers of Light by the end of May. It is now August 9 and yet still no update. 


Now in recent weeks, the barges and the four main animal floats of Rivers of Light have been seen being tested on the Discovery River. There is some hope though as Touring Plans has heard an opening date of September 15, 2016 for Rivers of Light. 

The question remains though if that is the date why wouldn't they at least give us an update or mention Animal Kingdom in today's article. You have to imagine we will be hearing something on Rivers of Light with this proposed debut in just over a month. 

People like me are visiting Disney World this Fall and for many of us who haven't gotten to experience Animal Kingdom at night. We just want some information from Disney and the question remains: What's going on with Rivers of Light?
