Hi all.
Destination D was just announced for 2016. I am excited to be ahead of the game and possibly get to attend. But I have questions. I watched online coverage of D23 Expo and realize that people line up hours in advance, have a buddy system to get to see it all, etc. How does Destination D compare, especially when it's held at WDW?
Are there people out there with experience from 2014 - @Cousin Orville, @wdwscout? I saw your posts in an old thread on DIS Unplugged board.
My questions - I would possibly buy the gold membership and a single ticket. Is the price worth it? Is the presentation manageable for solo travelers? Does it sell out months in advance? It would be nice to not commit myself to a non-refundable, non-transferable ticket at this point. I know that Run Disney and D23 Expo tickets can get scarce. Wondering if the same is true for Destination D.
Also, is seating truly guaranteed for all presentations as long as you don't care which seat you get? I gather that this is one auditorium rather than multiple stages going on at once.
I don't think I want to stand in line for hours to see archives or get into Mickey's of Glendale. If I simply devote part of my Friday to that, is it manageable?
Realistic to attend a Friday night MVMCP as well? Or are there often Friday evening events on the program?
Best advice for managing lunch breaks? That's a lot of people hitting the CR Concourse all at once.
Lots of questions, but community coverage on the actual logistics of this event seem to be lacking out there.
Thanks so much!
