24-Hour Day 2015 Tips

[j2thomason]

Well, that's my problem! I want to go back and rest up with a nap. Definitely a night owl and the six a.m. Doesn't scare me but still figure with such an early morning start on Friday, a rest would def make it easier, specially if it's a hot humid day! But, DD24 says we gotta stay the whole 24 hrs, that's the point of the day! So I thought some park napping would maybe help instead, lol!

Okay having a mind blank on where Pete"s silly side show is. Somewhere back the circus area? I don't recall seeing it, is it new in the last couple years? I've been there but not a lot back there.


When I was there during spring break there were cute little sitting areas and even a couple of couches set up in the Circus Tent by Pete's Silly Side show. They have had character meet & greets there and also FP kiosks in there in the past. It used to be the best place to get your FP because no one was ever in there....I guess that's why they removed the kiosks If the chair and couches are still there, that would be the perfect place to grab a quick power nap!

Anyone else plan on taking a couple spins around Carrousel of Progress in the hottest part of the day to get in a nap?

You know it! And Hall of Presidents.

I hope the only special characters aren't in the welcome show with none available later (I'm very concerned about characters hah).

I'm going to put myself first on a list that doesn't care about disney channel stars showing up. Though I suppose I'm not the target audience for them.

My screen is showing the extra FP as discussed above several times but it's only for Wishes. I'm not sure about dropping the wishes FP I already have and rely on the "extra" one.

I was looking at my page and saw the "One Experience" FP marker for the two of us. Do I just go ahead and rebook the Wishes one we have now? Does this one allow me to book another FP for Wishes only? Really, really confused...and no phone call for me - yet.

I just got the phone call....really nice CM! I told her that yes, it had been cancelled but that I had been able to get it back the next day. She told me that was terrific, but that we were still getting a 4th FP. That it shows at the top of the page for that day. I told her that I had seen it but that it was an experience for one and that there are three of us. She went in and changed it to three!!! And then told me to be sure to replace that existing FP for Wishes with something else.
I'm going to but I'm going to be really peeved if I show up for my Wishes FP and we're told that they aren't good!!!

On my account, when I click on the One Experience FP, the details page says "Wishes" underneath in blue. You don't rebook it.

Basically, you now have 4 FPs - three that everyone gets and one extra given by Disney that can only be used for Wishes. You can make three FPs for things that are not Wishes and then use the 4th one to get into the Wishes FP area.

Same here. Looking on the calendar for that day Wishes is still scheduled, but at 9. I have tried playing around with my fast passes to see if I can get it to come up and nothing. :-( I was so excited to have a good spot I didn't have to camp out for 5 hours for.

here did you find a calendar?

Anyone have any word on their shirt today? Got an email from UPS saying I am getting a package tomorrow and the only thing I can think it is is my shirt. Anyone get a similar email?

 

[Ali]

I got an email about a UPS package too and I know I didn't order anything except the shirt.

I guess "made" is the right word lol, we own a screen printing company!

I lost my original Wishes FP for the three of us. Disney plugged in Storytime with Belle. Then, I was able to rebook the Wishes FPs. Ok. Well, the next day, I notice a completely different FP+ thing at the top of my May 22 page...says to choose one event, for one. Only Wishes was available. Ok...I just ignored it.
Then, the phone call came. The CM told me that Disney had gone ahead and rebooked my Wishes FP, so I now had four FP+! I told her that my other two people weren't included in the 'new' FP+ for Wishes. She immediately went in and added the two girls to that odd looking FP. I asked, twice, if I could now go in and replace the FP+ I made for Wishes with something else. The CM said 'absolutely, now you get 4!'
So, basically, the top one that looks strange and says from 6am-5:59am, is for Wishes only. You can't do anything else with that one. But, you get to replace any existing Wishes FP+ you may have, in the regular FP+ area, with something else!
Hope that helped.

I received my shirt today! I never got a shipment notification, but it was from UPS.

Just got my Olaf 24 Hour Day shirt delivered. It's cute. A bit thin. I'll have to wear a tank under it to keep the old bra from showing through.

 

[TandLMommy28]

So the Disney channel stars? Any guesses in that? Are they talking characters like Doc McStuffins or actors from Jessie, etc? I think my kids would lose their little minds if any Disney channel actors were there.
