hi! We are on our last night and have yet to see PtN. Crowds were too chaotic to deal with. So we just finished eating at aladdins oasis and have tickets for the 8:45 PtN. Says 8:15 check in. are they turning people away if they queue early? Does it get really crowded? We want to be able to sit curbside. I'm exhausted. Thanks!!!

Here in line now at 7:50pm and there are 100 people in front of me!!!! Get here early. No front row left at all. And a lot of people have strollers in the front row so you can't see from the back.

Don't worry if you aren't sitting on the curb. There is good viewing behind those seated, too.

We sat at the top of the steps since curbside was taken. It was a great view; I got lots of great pictures. We stayed in the same spot for the fireworks and it was awesome- I will admit I balled like a baby. Just breathtaking. I've never been a big fireworks must see fan but am now converted. I am so glad I did the package. It was a perfect end to an amazing vacation. Magical! (Enough adjectives used to get my point across lol)

Yikes! You paid money for those seats? Might as well wait an hour for another bad seat and save a ton of cash.

I know right! But it was our last night and I had no idea 30 minutes before the official time wouldn't be enough. The CM's I spoke to said they are absolutely overwhelmed by the crowds (both package buyers and non) but acknowledge that word has travelled fast about the parade and fireworks ending. Those I've asked say they do not have a definitive date for MSEP and that PtN isn't leaving DL.
