Rivers of Light Update: Walls Are Starting to Come Down

We are less than 20 days away from the official debut of Animal Kingdom's first nighttime show, Rivers of Light. Recent rumors are pointing to a possible delay in the testing process (that would explain why testing of the barges, fountains, and special effects is taking place during the day instead that after park close), but that is currently not expected to impact the April 22 opening date. While we are waiting for soft openings, let's take a look around the Discovery River.

As usual, we were able to spot some of the barges being tested:

Trees and shrubs have been planted along this section of the pathway to avoid having Guests stop to watch the show from this area when Rivers of Light is taking place. That should help with crowd control:



More lights have been spotted near Anandapur:
