At F&W, AP Concert Seating

[MelanieRI]

I was waiting to see if they would add AP Concert Seating like they did for the Flower and Garden Festival (saw Smash Mouth!). I saw on the Disney site they have it just for September right now. I'm going in Oct. and I'm hoping they will add it for the rest of the eat to beat concerts.

Passholder Concert Seating
Enjoy dedicated Passholder seating at select Eat to the Beat Concert Series performances in September 2018. From September 1 through September 30, 2018, Passholders can pick up a wristband for dedicated seating at a same-day concert performance.

To pick up a wristband, please visit the America Gardens Theatre.

Important Information

• You must present a valid Passholder ID and government-issued photo ID at time of wristband pick up.
• Wristbands are available on a first-come, first-served basis and will be distributed starting at 11:00 AM up until 1 hour prior to the performance or until they have all been distributed for the day.
• Wristbands will be redeemed in the Passholder designated line at the America Gardens Theatre prior to the showtime.

Haven't seen anything for October yet, but we leave in under a month and hoping the same thing.

There's probably a reason or two they're doing it only in September,overall its a slower time of the year,also this month it rains a lot and many of the shows are rain threatened.The AP area is in the middle of the theater but just outside the covered area so if it rains you get wet.Basically it looks like Disney is giving passholders something but especially if it rains its not that valuable.I've picked up wristbands for the 6:45 show four times so far and only used it once,I'm not going to get wet,for most shows as long as you make the line at least 25-30 minutes before showtime you can easily get a seat under cover,once October comes crowds get larger and rain chances start going away.

Thats what I thought. But I can still hope that they extend it, but don't expect it to happen.

Yep, but since they did it over spring vacation time last year and with a popular group (Smash Mouth), I am still holding out hope that they will extend it. I have a dinner reservation for 98 degrees, but it'd be nice to cancel it and get the AP band instead.

Anyone have an update on wristbands for the October concerts?

All reports are that September 30 was indeed the last date for wristbands.
