Across from the stage pass queue

Any word on the Alan Menken line?

Any word on the Alan Menken line?

Last I saw was a tweet from about 45 minutes ago showing that the queue hall was basically empty. Only people were in section B. But a lot can change in 45 minutes. Meanwhile, I'm still waiting at my hotel to see if this outside line dies down or gets moving at all. It's absurd that it's almost noon and there are still so many people stuck in line outside.

they gave out wristbands to the show when we lined up in hall e in the morning. So not sure what is left for people that didn't get a wristband

We got here intentionally late today, around 10:30 and JUST got inside. We're now in line for Alan Menken and the escalators are broken so we're in an outside line

Yeah, that was exactly my original plan, which has now shifted to "maybe go over mid-afternoon and catch the late Menken show". It stinks that this has effectively turned into a two-day show for me, but Friday and Saturday were amazing, my feet could use the rest, and I probably shouldn't spend any more money as it is.

So sorry to hear it took so long for some of you to get in this morning. Hopefully you will still make Alan Menken

Thanks! We went straight in to Menken and had almost no actual line, and got in right as they were OPENING the C section! So I don't think anyone will have issues getting in to the first show if they want

FYI Gold B is full. Waiting for Gold C now. Did I read they were giving away wristbands this morning?

 

[wilkeliza]

Decided to do 2nd Alan Menkin instead of first because there is a special sorcerer's meet and greet during the first. Prioritizing truly unique experiences today over ones I've done before like imagineer talks.

In line for Duck Tales now. It is insane how crowded this line was and it took them a while to get in order this AM but they said people are flying through it today compared to other days.

Thanks for this update. Third in line for my Oswald signing so hopefully can make it over to Menken

We just got seated, they closed the gold lines at the hour mark, before they were even full (at least C Gold wasn't full)

 

[Mathmagicland]

I am in Menken! Dave Bossert started signing a little early which helped.

I saw someone tweet that he got in line outside at noon and was inside by 12:15, so I finally ventured over from my hotel. I walked out of Paradise Pier at 12:35 and by 1:15 I was sitting in section C in Hall D23.

I'm a little bummed I had to punt on seeing the Tangled and Hercules panels this morning, but the extra sleep and rest and not having to wait in any lines was worth the tradeoff.

I think I'm in section C also - got seated around same time as you.

Got to do the Duck Takes jump. Someone droped the ball on those things being hard plastic. So worth it though. Between that and having Oprah say I get something (it was just a poster but still) childhood dreams were fulfilled tonight.

Is the 2nd show for Alan Menken ling up already?

I was hoping to find one more thing on the show floor before I get in line.

I just ran back to my room to get a jacket. The women of Imagineering panel was good.

We were in that too but kind of wishing we had done Hercules instead. Oh well. Now in line for voices of Disney parks and then going to head to Alan menken around 3:30.

We went to Herc. It was pretty awesome and Susan Egan sang at the end. We got in the Gold line like a half hour before the panel so no real wait. Lovely

We're happy to have passed on the Menken shows because there aren't a lot of lines for anything else. I finally got in MOG with a short wait as well. It's been a great day so far

 

[Mathmagicland]

Alan Menken was awesome!! You all will enjoy it.
