Rivers of Light Cast Member Previews to Begin Soon; New Amenities Coming to Wilderness Lodge

Rivers of Light Cast Member Previews to Begin Soon:


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.
New Amenities Coming Soon to Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
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.

One of my favorite resorts to stay at the Walt Disney World Resort is the next resort in our in-depth look at it. That resort is Disney's Wilderness Lodge, which opened on May 28, 1994. The 728-room resort is modeled after the historic Old Faithful Lodge circa 1904 in Yellowstone National Park. It is one of the best themed hotels on property because you really get that nostalgic feel as soon as you walk through the doors. The lobby of this hotel is just amazing from the 80-foot tall fireplace to the details in the carvings in the totem poles around the lobby, it is just an amazing resort. This Magic Kingdom resort allows you to be to close to the park but enjoy a nice and relaxing feel while staying there. Here is the simple overview from Disney World's website:

Escape to the rustic majesty of America’s Great Northwest. Inspired by turn-of-the-century National Park lodges, Disney’s Wilderness Lodge celebrates American craftsmanship and honors the beauty of the untamed wilderness. Soak in the splendor of the great outdoors, from nature trails through pine forests to rocking chairs that overlook a murmuring creek. Inside, discover towering totem poles, headdresses and more, and sink into a plush leather armchair in front of the roaring fireplace. 



Room Types & Rates:

While this resort is probably one of the cheapest deluxe resorts to stay at, you won't feel any different then if you stayed at any of the others.
