BREAKING NEWS: Rivers of Light to Debut February 17 in Animal Kingdom
Everyone has been waiting patiently (some of us, NOT so patiently!), for Rivers of Light to make its debut. Openings have been postponed several times over the last year. With Pandora opening this summer, we are confident this is a GO this time. Rivers of Light dining packages and show times have shown up in MY DISNEY EXPERIENCE accounts today. This also happened last year with the “Awaken” summer promotion and then suddenly it disappeared. We are really hoping that is not the case this year. People are reporting NOW being able to actually book the Rivers of Light dining packages through their My Disney Experience accounts.

From Disney Parks Blog
For more than a year, Disney’s Animal Kingdom has continued its evolution to a day-to-night park by introducing a rich variety of new nighttime experiences – from Kilimanjaro Safaris after sunset and fine dining at Tiffins, to the vibrant entertainment at the Harambe Wildlife Parti and Discovery Island Carnivale. And when the Tree of Life awakens after dark, it is truly a sight to behold!
Today, we’re happy to announce one of the park’s newest nighttime experiences, “Rivers of Light,” will make its official debut on February 17.
