After many months of delay and a temporary show, Walt Disney World resort today started selling Dinner Packages for Rivers of Light at Animal Kingdom for February 17.

UPDATE

It appears that Riversof Light is starting technical rehearsals, as not only is it listed on the website, but FastPass reservations are also available. The first one is tonight, and as you can see, we’ve booked. We will be back tomorrow with a full report and hopefully a few pictures and videos.

Rivers of Light was originally due to open last summer during the memorial day weekend however, the show was plagued with delays that ultimately had Walt Disney World introducing a temporary show, “The Jungle Book: Alive with Magic” which ultimately ran throughout the summer. Since then there hasn’t been any new information that was substantial enough to give an official opening date for Rivers of Light – that is until today.

Walt Disney World Resort started selling dining packages for Rivers of Light this morning at Tiffins and Tusker House Restaurant. Rivers of Light will begin performances on February 17th with just one show per night at 7:15PM. The show will be presented once nightly only on Sundays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays until April 8th, when it then becomes a nightly offering according to the available dining packages.
