"FP" Wristbands for "CP"

[tinkerhon]

So, was just one line for the 5pm show--- and CMs came around at 1:30 handing out wristbands for people that wanted them, so you no longer have to wait on line

The bands have the time on them, and they are going to be given out for all 3 shows each day!!

They are in testing mode--- 50% of your party has to be present to get the bands--- you them have to come back at 4:30 and are seated in a special roped off area--- I have 300 bands for each show, but can't verify

Sorry if this was already posted!

Soooooo, are these people going to be allowed in before the dinner party guests, or at the same time? Or are these for the people waiting in the other line? I don't know if I want to keep my dinner package if it does not give me a leg-up on getting a good seat in the the theater...

Wish they would have announced this. We came over at 3:00 to get in line for the CP and we are about 20th in line and they said we should get in the show but they will let the dinner party and wristbands in and then open standby at 4:50. We'll see what happens. I would have grabbed a wrist band if they would bother to tell people

I would assume that it's for the people who would otherwise be waiting in the standby line. It makes no sense that they would do something that would take away the advantage of the CP dinner package.

True, and amazingly would allow those that were standing in line to go shopping or spend money in other ways.

Was just talking to DW about this-- we didn't have the package--- we we're let in at 4:20--- same time as the package people

Last 4 rows are reserved for the wristbands--- we are center --- 1st row of the four reserved

Where does one get these wristbands? I am very confused.

I thought the CP pkg meant advanced entry?

If you are on the standby line, the CMs walk around with them at 1:30 and hand them out---

Looks like right now, the package just insured better seats--- not earlier entry

Once again, this was 2nd day of testing, but the CMs i spoke with said it seemed to be working out

 

[luvmarypoppins]

Just wondering if you saw them give any out to standby guests in wheelchairs?

Since I saw the other post comment about the seats are located in the last 4 rows I dont think that would work for standby handicapped viewing?

 

[Redarrow5150]

People waiting in line for 3.5 hours? Are they handing them out for the rest of the shows?

I was at the 5pm show yesterday and had the dinner package sticker. The standby line went down one side of the "theater" and the dinner package line went the other way towards Japan. They absolutely let all the dinner package people in first and kept the standby people waiting until the dinner package line was empty. No idea about wrist bands, seems like a good idea if they would just advertise it. That standby line was long and I have no idea how many people from it got in.

From what we were told, they also moved the wristband return line---- Friday nite it was near the regular standby line--- Saturday night they move it to the side of the CP package people----

Someone had also mentioned wheelchair access, and if they handed out any wristbands to anyone in a wheelchair--- as a matter of fact, the first person on the wristband return line was in a wheelchair at the 5pm Saturday show

So many questions. But most importantly, are they handing out return times for ALL the shows or just 5pm? Are they handing them out at 1:30 for all the showtimes or at different times?

They were going to be handing them out for all 3 shows--- not sure about the last show (8:15), but I believe the 6:45 show wristbands were going to be handed out by 2pm--- I heard that by 3pm, all of the wristbands ( for all 3 times) had been handed out.

They started handing out the 5pm wristbands at 1:30pm
