We went to see the show on Wednesday night. We loved it!
We had 5:10 reservations at Ariel's. The food was good. No complaints. I'd eat there again.
We finished dinner at 6:30. By that time, they had roped off the seating areas. I asked a CM where to line up. There is a lighthouse looking tower across the bridge from Ariel's. I was told to line up there. We used our Screamin FP's and I went to the area at 7:00. There were already a lot of people there but I was able to get up towards the front. My DH stayed with the kids and they did single rider at Screamin. This was a mistake. I hadn't left them their fp's and the area was getting crowded. I was getting nervous that they would let us in early and wasn't sure what to do. They walked over to try to find me. They explained to a CM that I had the fp's and they had to find me. It happened to be in the area and at the time they were letting in the handicapped guests. The CM let them go in with them. They then came to the front of where we were all waiting. I gave them the fp's and they went to get a spot. We were at the railing front and center just above the wet zone. Perfect spot! Even if they hadn't gotten in early, by the time I got down there, there were still railing spots available, but not for long. We weren't let in until 7:30. They let everyone in at once- dinner packages, picnic fp's and general fp's. There were also strollers in the same area.
I took my DD to the bathroom about 15 minutes before the pre-show. I stood at the top of the stairs and looked around. It would have been very difficult for the kids to see from that spot. When the show started, we moved our kids in front of us, so the kids behind us could move up to the railing.
The pre-show was cute and fun. We really enjoyed WOC.
My advice is to get to the holding area between 6:45-7:00. The wait wasn't bad. The area wasn't super crowded so we were able to stretch our legs. My son brought his DS and my girls played on their ipod touch. They ate cotton candy while they waited. The pre-show starts at 8:30 so we were only waiting for an hour.
I would do the dining package again. Next time, I would have our whole family head to the holding area at 6:45. The show was definitely worth the wait!
We were leaving the park at 11:00. The line for the 11:15 show stretched from the holding area almost to sunshine plaza. I felt so sorry for the young kids in the line. It was so late. They looked exhausted and there is no way they'd get a good spot.
