The Rivers of Light Dessert Party is a new offering in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Rivers of Light Crowd and Expedition Everest
Dessert Parties such as the Frozen Ever After Dessert Party and the Magic Kingdom Fireworks Dessert Parties offer guests the chance to enjoy a dessert buffet before taking in a park’s nighttime spectacular in a reserved viewing area.
Rivers of Light is Animal Kingdom’s nighttime spectacular, and while Rivers of Light Dining Packages have been available for some time now (which pairs a meal at a select Table Service restaurant with reserved seating), the Dessert Party is new to the scene! The experience starts with checking at the Rivers of Light Viewing Area directly across from the Expedition Everest attraction. (Your arrival time is set with your reservation — an hour and 15 minutes before the evening’s showtime.) [Read more…]
Guests have been able to book Dessert Parties to enjoy a selection of desserts paired with guaranteed seating for a nighttime spectacular at three out of the four Disney World theme parks for some time now.
Nighttime Spectacular
Epcot hosts the Frozen Ever After Dessert Party, Hollywood Studios has the Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular Dessert Party, and Magic Kingdom offers three different Dessert Parties for Happily Ever After. But Animal Kingdom has never hosted one… until now. The Rivers of Light Dessert Party will kick off soon in Disney’s Animal Kingdom! [Read more…]

Wishing there was a way to skip the long wait lines for the new rides in Animal Kingdom’s Pandora — The World of AVATAR, and other Animal Kingdom attractions?
Pandora Wait Times…once you actually get into Pandora…on opening day

Whew!
It sure has been a news-y few weeks for Disney World!

But it sure doesn’t stop there, because we’ve got even more news to explore… by checking out WHAT’S NEW around Walt Disney World! [Read more…]
This past weekend, we had our very first chance to view the newest Disney nighttime spectacular — Rivers of Light at Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
And lemme tell ya — it’s spectacular, and it’s totally worth the wait! We loved it SO much that we just had to make it the subject of our latest DFB Video!
Because we had the chance to see the show first hand, we want to share some images with you. But we also want to share how you can see the show yourself without standing in the anticipated long lines that are sure to greet its opening this weekend!
Rivers of Light Has Finally Arrived at Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
The new show was supposed to debut in 2016, but Disney pushed its launch back nearly a full year. That means that it will debut just months — really just weeks — before we see the opening of Pandora — The World of Avatar on May 27. [Read more…]
Well, I don’t know which to be more excited about… the at-long-last arrival of the Rivers of Light Evening Spectacular debuting soon at Animal Kingdom, or the RIVERS OF LIGHT DINING PACKAGES that are now available for Advance Dining Reservations for meals beginning February 17, 2017!

Similar to the already-existing Fantasmic! Dining Packages available at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the new Rivers of Light Dining Packages allow guests to make a specific package reservation at select restaurants. The set price for your meal also includes seating for the show within a reserved section for everyone in your dining party (guests will receive seating vouchers at their meal).
The participating Animal Kingdom Restaurants will be Tusker House and Tiffins. [Read more…]
