Is there a light at the end of the tunnel? Could Rivers of Light finally be ready to debut at Disney's Animal Kingdom? According to multiple news sources today, Rivers of Light is almost ready for public debut as Cast Members were told previews for them begin soon.
Previews which will only be for Cast Members at Disney's Animal Kingdom will be on the evenings of November 27 and 28. The cast members will not be allowed to take photos or video during the performances.
I am taking this with a grain of salt as the new nighttime spectacular was set to debut back in April, but was delayed. An update was promised by the end of May but nothing ever was announced. A rumored debut during last week's Destination D: Amazing Adventures proved to be false. Disney has yet to make any confirmations on Rivers of Light debuting. One could only hope with Cast Member previews beginning next week, that Rivers of Light will be debuting very, very soon.
New Amenities Coming to Disney's Wilderness Lodge:
The Villas at Disney's Wilderness Lodge recently changed their name to the Boulder Ridge Villas at Disney's Wilderness Lodge as part of the Disney Vacation Club. The name change is to reflect the railroad theming and the storyline of the resort. Soon though even more changes will be coming for guests to enjoy.
The Hidden Springs Pool will be re-imagined as the new Boulder Ridge Cove that is scheduled to open Summer 2017. It will feature an expanded sun deck and a zero-depth entry pool in what appears to have been an abandoned rock quarry. More from the Disney Parks Blog:
"Such rejuvenating transformations were common in the Pacific Northwest following the mid-20th-century fading of the Transcontinental Railroad, as locals turned rails into trails – repurposing everything from bridges and tunnels to cranes and quarries. A nearby “Boulder Ridge Railway and Mining Co.” water tower will be among the pool area’s landmark reminders of its pioneering past, while a vintage mine cart supports the mining theme with an affectionate nod to Disney history."
Even more changes are coming to the resort besides the pool area. A brand new bar & grill in the Geyser Point Bar & Grill, will be added in addition to the resorts quick service restaurant in Roaring Fork. The new bar & grill will be located in the heart of the new pool area, where members and guests will be able to grab a bite to eat by the resort's main pool area. There will be ample outdoor seating and architecture that looks right at home with Disney's Wilderness Lodge and the new Boulder Ridge Villas.
