Updated Rivers of Light Show Debuts This Summer at Disney's Animal Kingdom
 

Since its introduction more than two years ago, "Rivers of Light" has enchanted Disney's Animal Kingdom guests with a nighttime pageant of beautifully illuminated lantern floats, grand theatrical imagery, a soaring musical score and innovative special effects. This summer, the next chapter of this spectacle will unfold with the debut of an updated version of the show, entitled "Rivers of Light: We Are One."

"Rivers of Light: We Are One" introduces additional, stunning imagery and familiar animal characters from Disneynature films, along with a colorful tapestry of classic moments from Disney animation, to express our connection with animals and the emotions and milestones we all share in our journey through the great circle of life.

The music of "Rivers of Light: We Are One" weaves together the original musical score and familiar Disney themes to create a powerful arrangement that inspires and carries us through moments of discovery, fun, friendship, fear, love and family.

"Rivers of Light: We Are One" comes to the Discovery River Amphitheater at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, beginning Memorial Day Weekend 2019.

I am one of the few that really enjoyed watching the show last year and looking forward to seeing the enhanced version in October. Hopefully less chance of watching it in ponchos with rain coming down too !

I wasn't planning to do RoL again on our next trip, however I think a new show will make it worthwhile.

Hopefully it will be more impactful, the last one was lacking and I heard they got rid of the costumed characters which were one of the best things.

Oh thats brilliant, have already ADR'd Tuskers Breakfast to get ROL preferred seating, so glad I did - really looking forward to it even more now.

Not yet seen ROL as last visit was 3 years ago but this sounds a lovely addition, looking forward to it!

Love Animal Kingdom and ROL was one of the things I was most looking forward to! (On our 2017 trip).. but I was left a little disappointed, the water reflections didn't really work properly so kind of ruined the ending spectacular 😥 Looking forward to seeing these updates to the show as I definitely want to see it again 🌳

We are seeing ROL next week for the first time so looking forward to this
