I think they should start the late night hours, show as much if the nighttime show as possible and add a jungle book show or work it into the current show. If the new movie is a huge success like it looks to be, they need to get a jungle book show in that theater

It's becoming clear that Disney has lost its focus and is putting all its energy and efforts into cutting entertainment and staff and raising prices. Think of all the time that lately has been devoted to nickel and diming every last penny out of the guest's wallet when the company should have been working on increasing entertainment options and getting the construction projects further along. These delays and screw ups are just symptoms of a Disney that is putting profits before entertainment. Welcome to the New Disney experience of "Pay more and get LESS".

I guess the delay of Rivers of Light would be a downer for those vacationing special for it. (I'm lucky, I'm a local annual passholder. I can wait.) But Disney is waiting to make sure everything is just right; that they put on a high quality show worthy of Disney. It's not like they're doing it just to irritate everyone.

The park should be opened for nighttime activities. The nighttime version of the Safari is going to be great and riding Expedition Everest at night great as well. No reason to delay. The tree lighting up sounds great. I really don't care about Rivers of Light, but am very glad that the walls are finally coming down. :)

I had booked a trip to AK for next weekend but had to cancel it at the last minute. At least I wont be missing out! Sad for those who planned a trip from much further away though. In some respects, isn't it better that Disney irons out their offerings rather than disappoint with substandard spectacles?

This is highly disappointing and puzzling. How can it be delayed indefinitely, possibly for months, but some of it is still functioning well enough to possibly have a preview for the media or to have some kind of makeshift show using the same technology. Why wouldn't they just rework the show to exclude the parts that aren't working and then add those in to plus up the show down the road. I understand not wanting to debut the night time activities until the show is operational but it doesn't seem fitting to just throw together a temporary stop gap that will still show some of the technology behind the show.
