Thanks. Definitely old enough, but drawing a blank.

How busy does Epcot get for these concerts? Looks like we're going on an Air Supply day.

I saw Tiffany last year. It wasn't a bad show, but she doesn't have enough songs of her own for a full concert so she covered some other 80's classics. It was still fun though and the crowd seemed to like it.

• Hanson — October 30-November 1

Argh, I'm missing them by 1 day!!

We saw them a few times, don't recall having any trouble getting seats for 2 quite close to the start time. We were off to the right side, if you want a better view show up 20 mins or so early and the first show has the biggest crowd, less crowded in the 2nd and 3rd. Some acts are jammed in all shows, Boyz II Men we missed last year due to the crowd levels at all shows.

So how does this work? Do you just show up to the concert area for seating? Are there ADR packages like the candlelight processional? Where exactly will the stage be?

For the less popular concerts, you can line up or wander in like 15-30 minutes before they start and get a seat. For the more popular ones, people will start lining up by mid-afternoon. As soon as folks go in for the first concert, the line will form again for the next one (even though those folks can mostly likely see and hear pretty much all of the one before them). The stage is permanent - on the water across from the American pavilion (same place as the Candlelight Processional). Last year (looking at the stage), FPP went in on the right and had all the seats under the covered area on the right. Dining package and Chase Visa tickets (which could only be gotten same-day) were in the covered area on the left (there was also some VIP seating somewhere under there, I think for family associated with the performers, etc. at some concerts). Most of the area in the non-covered area was for standby, although I think still some of that was dining package.

Edited to add a link to a post someone made showing the info about the dining package for the festival from the F&W preview last month: http://www.disboards.com/threads/fo...rland-event-2016-06-26.3522120/#post-56005974 I can't yet find it available to book online though.

This is what I got, boo (would rather have Blues Traveler the day after we leave ):

• Los Lobos – September 29-30
• David Cook — October 1-2
• Wilson Phillips — October 3-4

We will watch Sugar Ray, and We were going to see Wilson Phillips but are now switching to Blues Traveler.

The concerts are held at the America Gardens Theatre in front of the American Adventure Pavilion.

Options last year were:

1. General admission line
2. FP+
3. ETTB Dining Package
4. Disney CHASE Visa reserved seating - at 11 am on select days only Disney Chase Visa cardholders can receive a reserved seating wristband in the CHASE lounge. First come, first serve. Again, you must have a *Disney* CHASE Visa, not a regular CHASE Visa.

Is there a way to find out in advance which days they're available for? Do you have a choice of shows? I never successfully managed to get one of these last year and people seemed to have no idea of what I was talking about when I asked in the Chase lounge but I'm thinking I arrived too late in the day or it wasn't one of the "right" days. Thanks!

It's possible you probably arrived on the wrong day or too late.

I don't think anyone knows in advance which days the wristbands are distributed on. They are usually available 3 consecutive days a week (example Sat, Sun, Mon; Fri, Sat, Sun; etc). Yes, you have a choice of times depending upon availability.

Also, there is a limit per cardholder and everyone must be present to receive one (you can't get extras for people not with you).

Sugar Ray AND Blues Traveler?? Take me on your vacation!!!!

How does handicapped seating work? My son and I are both legally blind and it'd be cool if we could be seated close. Not sure how popular or hard it will be to get a good seat at BoDeans, but just trying to get a feel for how best to plan this.
