Oh thanks! I am super excited we will be there for Hunter Hayes!!! Anyone have any tips? This will be the first time we will attend one of the concerts. Last time we skipped out.

So Universal dates are wrong, week of 3/11,
Friday is 3/11, Saturday is 3/12 so either the concerts are saturday 3/12 and sunday 3/13 or friday 3/11 and saturday 3/12. I think they missed the leap year on the dates for that week.

I went and found out, it's Sat/Sun (modified list) Their website still says fri/sat though.

Is the parade every night, or just on concert nights, right before the concert?

 

[Mjkre]

From what I have been told the parade is just on concert nights. We will be there for Diana Ross and Bare Naked Ladies weekend. Would love any tips/suggestions for that.

 

[trampsgirl]

Aww man, this breaks my heart. Fall Out Boy is my daughters absolute favorite and they're there the day we leave.

seriously, they couldn't scrounge up a picture or bio of Adam Lambert?. Would love to see him live.

This was my exact thought just a few minutes ago, LOL.

I've seen him live more than a few times in the past, but it's been a while, so I'm definitely looking forward to March 13.

i've happily had ghost town as an ear worm for months
now to try and finagle a long weekend, hmmm

 

[trampsgirl]

Well, just added another day! Yay! What time do people start lining up for these concerts?

So excited to see barenaked ladies again! We saw them last year (and in 2009 - they're my favorite band, ever) and they were fantastic. I wanted a great spot, so we claimed it really early.. Probably 1.5-2 hours early, which caused us to miss the parade, but we were there for the concert. It filled up pretty quickly, but it was also the Sunday before presidents day.. not sure what effect that had on crowds.

I have a lot of friends excited for Fall Out Boy and many are saying they plan to line up at park opening. I think it's gonna be crazy that day. I'll probably just show up in the evening and watch from the back.

So excited for Fall Out Boy and Adam Lambert!

Right! He is actually there on my B-day...Too bad we will be there the month before or I'd try to talk DH into a quick B-day trip!!!

 

[trampsgirl]

Yeah, I have a feeling FOB will be really crazy crowded. My daughter plans to line up super early too. Not sure how I feel about that yet.

We saw him with Queen. He was awesome but I'd love to see him perform some of his own stuff too.

My daughter's favorite too. We are going to be in Universal at the end of this month for the Harry Potter Celebration so heading back down in a month from the NE is practically impossible. Doesn't mean I have been looking at flights though. (We have AP's so it wouldn't be too bad if I could really cheap flights)

We added an extra day, told her last night, she cried. Hopefully you guys can make it down! I would love to go to the HP celebration! We live about 6hrs drive away and we only go down to Orlando once a year, usually to Disney. This will be our first time to UO since '09.

trampsgirl....your daughter must be over the moon right about now. I got up today to find an email from Frontier airlines.....$34 flights going down so I snagged them. Just have to watch for flights home and then I can tell my daughter.
