Disney fan For years! Lived in Anaheim when I was young and could see the fireworks from my house. I\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'m also a former cast member-late 80\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s, early 90\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s.
Will Glow With the Show be offered for every showing of Fantasmic/fireworks now? Our granddaughter is moving to Texas(!) and we want to have her experience this before she leaves. We're planning to go 5/29-30. Thanks for any info!
Yeah and Yikes is true. Disney makes Magic, not miracles, and dollars, not sense! (Or something like that - it was from the Blue Team when Rumpelstiltskin was talking during Flashback) - LaTruce1644.6 #45 3-12-13 11:31AMLike Reply

We are ready to plan our wedding(!) and want to have the ceremony at the Parkview Terrace at the Grand. Super small wedding. Does anyone have tips, dos and don'ts, etc? Any advise is appreciated!
On a serious note, though, I would say to plan a lot if your day around your photos. It's so easy to rush through that part, but its one of the few things (besides your husband) that you'll actually get to keep forever. My husband and I saw each other hours before the ceremony, because I knew I wanted to capture the good light. And it didn't make that wow moment any less special. - LittleAprilShowers 471.0 #257 10-18-12 5:58PM

What is going on around Disneyland the weekend of 10/26? Beside a Halloween Party night. There are NO hotels available that weekend, even HoJo. Any suggestions? We just want to stay on the 26 after the Halloween Party.
So bummed! We won't be able to go on our yearly birthday trip next weekend. Our puppy's broken leg means she can't stay with Grandma or be boarded. I gave our 1 bedroom Villa at the Grand (sigh) to my niece & her family. She 3 kids 5 More...

Has anyone done an AP early entry and gone to Cars Land? We're planning this for Thurs. and wondered if FastPasses were available that early and/or should we just go straight to RSR? Any info is appreciated!
Next week will be the first time early entry and magic mornings will be available for DCA. So guess we'll all find out. Would presume that Carsland would be open since that is what everyone is aiming for. - Ht614.0 #177 6-17-12 10:43AMLike Reply
Does anyone know how many AP early entries will be allowed per day? We were thinking that with APs and hotel early entry there might be a lot of people.
Just purchased our tickets for Fantasmic preferred seating! We're going to surprise our 9 year old. I forgot to ask how early we can check in-anyone know?
You can check-in an hour before the show starts. Have fun! We tried it in March and loved it! - cafe198910.1 #6717 6-10-12 11:44AMLike Reply

Depends where you wanna sit if you want the perfect seat check in is at 8 I would start lining up at 7 715 at the latest. That way you can pick the perfect seats. - cmdlgurl255.5 #951 6-10-12 12:47PMLike Reply
By the way I just rememberd its summer for sure wait in line for check in at 7. Any later you may get a chair behind someone which may not be your choice seat - cmdlgurl 255.5 #951 6-10-12 12:52PM
Get there early because you are assigned a seat. So you can leave anytime prior to the show. - SUUZinOC 715.3 #140 6-10-12 1:36PM
Thanks for all the great advise! We can't wait to see the look on her face when she sees we're going to the "special seats".

Went to the Beach Boys concert at the Hollywood Bowl last night. When the played "Disney Girls" my husband said "They know you're here!"
We went to both concerts, Saturday and Sunday. Such fun! I shared about MW with the people sitting next to me, and they shared with me about Brian Wilson's Disney album. I downloaded it, and I am enjoying it greatly! - teach6779.2 #3289 6-5-12 9:55AMLike(1) Reply

How do you go about getting reserved seating for the fireworks? I searched, but have not seen any response to others asking the same thing.
Management decides who will sit in the reserved seating area for the fireworks. They give us a list a little while before the show starts. Sometimes we help pick. Guest can not request or buy seats there. Hope this helps. - BalooTBear904.4 #97 3-6-12 3:10PMLike Reply

Finally had to upgraded my Original iPhone. I haven't been able to Mousewait on my phone for months! Just in time for my traditional "Superbowl Day at Disneyland". Yeah for me!
We are thinking about surprising our 9 year old with preferred seating for Fantasmic. Has anyone done this? Price? Worth it?
I did with madsdad but he treated but from his opinion he thought it was and I would do it again and pay for it! It was great seats and the desserts are yummy, you almost shouldn't eat dinner because there is so much, including cheese and crackers and grapes and hot chocolate is perfect while watching!! - MarshaMouse2863.9 #15 1-29-12 12:53PMLike(2) Reply
Yep, don't eat dinner you get fruits and cheeses and desserts and it basically a whole meal. The best part is you go an hour before show time and pic your seats and then you come back at show time, so there is no waiting involved! Definitely worth it! - akpoppins 243.3 #1070 1-29-12 1:03PM
For sure I agree! Good quality cheese and crackers, peppermint cheesecake, trifles, I eat a lot and couldnt even finish it! And just watching it sitting in a comfy chair with hot chocolate would have been worth it alone! - madsdad 1124.9 #73 1-29-12 1:40PM

Those things seem to happen to me too! Just hang in there, drink lots and rest up!! Have you heard of "airborne"?

We were lucky to be there for the soft openings for both Little Mermaid and Star tours. We went on little mermaid 3 times just to catch everything. I think we waited 10 minutes max.

As a CM who works WOC I would suggest getting a FP. You only have to return to the viewing area an hour before showtime and in my opinion its worth the wait. If you do not want to get a FP you can watch from the top of the bridge by Ariels Grotto although that area fills up just as early as the viewing areas. I hope this helps :) - tinkertasha_CM10.1 #6749 6-20-11 11:12AMLike Reply
