Harambe Nights - Premium Seating

[GlennN]

Did anyone out there use premium seating for the 6/14/14 show? I have tix for my family for the 6/28 show, and I am concerned about my daughter being able to see from the floor. I am hoping they changed this somehow, since a "premium" seat really should not have a subpar view! From reviews of the first show on 6/7, it sounds like premium seating may have been a bad choice on my part.

I was there on 6/7 and the seating was in rows of chairs flat on the floor. I'd suggest getting in line for the door as early as you can (take turns going out for food and drinks) and then try to snag either a front seat or one on the aisle. Not sure the first 2 rows will be taken up by Disney suits and the families of the performers as was apparently the case with the first show. I couldn't see that, I was way up in the side section, but there was a report written about it.

The chairs had backs, which was an advantage over the bench seats.

Other thing you want to watch out for (no idea if it was changed for 6/14) is that if you want the lion chow snack during the show, better grab it while they had it out (one per person please!). They had the containers sitting out and people were grabbing 3 or 4 of them apiece, which meant that ultimately there were not enough of them to go around.

I'm definitely planning to get in line for seating as soon as possible as we have premium seats on July 5th. Thanks to all of the advice from those who have already attended I know it will be important to line up early. I wanted to do something extra special for my daughter and now I kind of regret getting the premium seats. All I can do now is do the best I can to stake out decent seats. Another poster in another thread said she was told by a CM when she ordered her tickets on the phone that the premium seats would be the first few rows of the regular seating. This is what I thought as well. I'm wondering if that was the original plan but with all of the ticket sales, they changed the premium seats to seats on the floor.

I think it is more likely that the phone CM was incorrect. It happens often. I think that rather than say they don't know, they make something up. There is no way the phone CM could have actually seen the seating; it's entirely possible they weren't even in Florida. Or, they misunderstood what the question was.

Good point. I've seen many threads on here about different CMs saying different things!!
