Disney's Animal Kingdom News for December 7, 2016: More delay

The delay continues: Since I am really starting to get tired of writing about Rivers of Light, I can only imagine how tired you must be reading about Rivers of Light. Well, I am sorry, but the long drawn out saga continues. All hope for a holiday release of the Rivers of Light show is now over. Disney has updated the official web page to indicate the show is coming in 2017. No other details on time are given, but again, if I had to guess, I am think Earth Day, April 22 will be the opening. That would give the show a few months before Avatarland opens to find its footing. And they sure do love Earth Day openings.

The Macaques are Out: We first told you these primates were coming to the jungle trek months ago. Well, they are now out. So head on over to the Maharajah Jungle Trek, just before the bat exhibit, and see the 3 females and one male that make up this troop.

Early Closings: Please be aware, that for the rest of the calendar year, both Kali River Rapids and Adventurer's Outpost will be closing early. The meet n greet will close at 4:30 everyday, while Kali's closing times depend on the anticipated crowd levels, For example, this week the park remains open until 7 but Kali will close at 5.
