6:07 AM Hall E Only one person in StagePass queue in Section A... Strangely odd....

I got here at 5:50 and asked for StagePass - they sent me to section C for Gold members. (I feel like I’m quite a few rows back, but they’ve added another two rows behind me.) Hoping this is the right place to be and I won’t find out I should have done something else.

Does anyone know How stage pass for section b is looking?

SO glad I opted for stand by - I’m afraid I would have been trampled.

We were worried -- it was really stressful for a bit there -- but we did at least end up with great seats right behind the Sorcerers. And I'm glad that no one got hurt in the end. But I wish that D23 would learn to prevent things like this from happening in the first place.

Didn’t it say somewhere that badges would be scanned or checked for stage pass?

That's part of the problem -- no one was scanning badges or asking for any kind of proof, so anyone could enter -- and they did.

Yesterday we had to scan our badge to get our stage pass wristbands at 6:30am. But we didn’t get checked again after.

That's what should have happened at the East Entrance, too, but CMs weren't scanning for some reason. So someone higher up shut off access to everyone until all the doors were opened at 9 am.

Oh that’s didn't happen until we got downstairs. But we were in the first batch or so of people to go through security that they were sending show floor to the north hall and stage pass only to hall e. Since hall e did have the arena and show floor people in it.

I have SP for Parks and just got to Hall E at 6:40. They are out of Gold members passes. Still room in A, B and C for SP. I got a spot in B section. Near column E9 for anyone in the area.

They took my chair at security. I got my chair thru yesterday but not today. They said after 7pm they call go to the trash.

Still good as of 6:50 for SP in B

Great. Heading over shortly.

6:50AM Looks like lots of room for SP in all sections. B still has 4 rows open, A has 6+ rows of space, C looks about same from what I can see from standing in A..

Just watched them band an SP person and they told them to choose any section they wanted.

Someone just banded asked the person doing the banding "Which one us best section?" and her answer was you have to decide..

No line at katella security this morning just like yesterday. Friday was the only day with a wait but it was only 10/15 min.

 

[Mathmagicland]

They took the show floor lines upstairs early today. New approach to entrances - rather than all doors at once, which caused a scary jammed funnel yesterday, CM said today they will open the doors in order of the lines from downstairs.

 

[goingtoexpo!!]

So anyone going to the Arena needs to go downstairs also?

 

[Mit88]

In line for section B. There’s 3 more sections left available

In section b also. Yesterday for movies they didn’t use all the lines though cause of reserved seating for media etc.

I see a few chairs down here in C. So inconsistent. I bought new chairs for my friend and me but we never even attempted to bring them in.

I am now very glad we got here early. They are up to 3 lines of HA for Parks.

Only snafu was trying to park today at 4:00 and none of the lots were open. Didn’t even occur to me that would happen. We had to drive back to the hotel and Uber from there. I like having my car for flexibility. Cost us about 30 minutes.

The adult group in front of us brought a larger stroller and are using that for a chair/sleep. The person using just puts their feet up on the scooter in the group to be able recline.

It is one way to cover having a place to sit if you cannot sit on the ground.
