The Disney Parks blog announced that Animal Kingdom's Rivers of Light night show will not open as planned on April 22 as "we give the team more time to bring these innovative experiences to life in a way we know will exceed our guests’ expectations."
More information about timing will be shared on the Disney Parks Blog by mid- to late May.
The image above from a recent rehearsal of Rivers of Light illustrates a bit of the beauty and complexity of this innovative blend of water, light and original music that brings with it so many firsts.
