Fast Passes for Wishes

[serene56]

Any idea how many are given out each evening?

I am looking to see if I am gonna be packed into a area with way too many people?

It is comfortable, not packed full. It's only congested right up at the front of the gate/fence, lots of room towards the back.

IM not sure of the exact number of passes given out every night but I did this back in May with my wife and you definitely won't be packed like you would on main street or in the main hub. In the designated area everyone kinda bunches up at the front to get a better view but if you hang in the back you'll have a great view still and even enough room to sit on the "grass" and relax and enjoy the show.

Repeat thoughts but same as the others, no idea how many but we did not feel crowded at all. We also hung towards the back, some leaned up against the back because it provided the best obstruction free photo while some sat on the grass (we did stand for the shows but were never asked to). We loved the experience, it was the most enjoyable way for us to spend our last evening in Florida. Sooo glad we did it!!

It wasn't very crowded. Some people think it's a waste of a fastpass, but it's a great choice on arrival night. We get in around dinner time since we fly from the west coast and I use the fireworks as a good throw away fast pass. If we make it, great and if not, no big deal.

Just did it last Sunday for a late night after dinner. Wouldn't waste a FP on it again. You can literally see the same thing right in front. The side by Tomorrowland was jam packed and the other side was hard to find seating. Most stood, so sitting wasn't an option. I saw Hallowishes and Wishes a few nights before more comfortable than this. Oh and the poles. Several spots had poles blocking the projection show. With the hub redone there are just better options now. Not sure how many are given, but it was crowded and not as nice as I expected.

We did it a couple of weeks ago, most people were ate the back of the area as they wanted to sit on the grass, cast members made them all stand once it started getting crowded, we moved the front of the area and I could of spun around with my arms out and not hit anyone. The cast members were super picky on the standing vs sitting

I am not sure how many they give out but there are also VIP tour people that go in the FP area and some times extra people I know I got one of the extra FP for wishes for my next trip and also I have seen some times CM will do a magical moment and let a small group ( like a family of 4 ) come into wishes right before it starts. but like the other have said it is not as nearly as crowded as MS or other places

My family and I used Fast Passes to watch wishes this past August/2015. In my opinion, it was totally worth it, the area was not too crowded and definitely no pushing or shoving involved.

Agree FP for Wishes and the parade are totally worth it for us. I really do not like the crowds for these and found the FP+ area to be uncrowded and we had plenty of room. The worst part was constant people trying to duck under the rope to get into the FP+ area, the CM's were constantly trying to keep people out.

Is the Fast Pass area different for the Main Street Electrical Parade? Can you stay in that area to see the fireworks or no?

Right now the FP area for the parades is by the flag pole which is too far from the castle for a good view of the fireworks. (I say right now because the location may change now that the work on the hub seems to be pretty much done.)

Parade FP+ Area

And, that area is at the very bottom-right of this map of the parade route.

And, the FP+ areas for Wishes/Celebrate the Magic are below.
(The can be seen on the Parade Route Map above at the top-right.)

There are two different FP+ areas and no one is instructed to go to one vs the other. Depending on how people with FPs distribute themselves, you could see different levels of crowding. However, it is almost always much less crowded than the surrounding areas in the hub and on Main Street.

My experience on 9/26 was excellent. We lounged on the fake grass throughout CtM and Wishes and still had great views. Lots of room to sit and stretch your legs out. No CM told us or anyone around to stand, but other experiences differ.

I get FP for wishes just about every time I go so this year about 6 times and about half of them we were told to stand asked way and was told it depends on how many people are in the area some times they know earlier like if there are a lot of VIP guest or how many people chose that side for FP
