For a stress-free Disney or Universal Studios vacation, let the FREE expert planners at Royal Carriage Vacations take care of every detail including dining reservations, applying discounts, and onboard cruise credit.
Based on the fact that Disney Cast Members are blocked from allowing guests into Animal Kingdom, which is extremely uncommon, I’ll predict the likely date for the opening of Rivers of Light.
I’d pencil in Tuesday, April 19, 2016 as a possible opening night for Rivers of Light at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. I won’t guarantee this as Disney hasn’t yet officially announced the opening, but Cast Members are almost never blocked from attending Animal Kingdom with their Front Gate Pass for their guests. I’ll let you know when Disney confirms the date.
Share the love!

We're going April 19th so now I'm worried the place will be too crowded it was a 4/10 on the crowd calendar. Should this park be avoided now?

I doubt it. Anyone rushing over would be for night time stuff, if it were to happen that day.

We are there on the 22nd. We were there for the 15th anniversary in 2013, so I hedged my bets with the 22nd again :)

I'd bet they do twice nightly at least for a while.
