New "Official" Frozen: 2015 Frozen Summer Fun June 17 to Sept 7!

Looks like that would be the only time that would make sense!

Yep. The only two time slots missing for the singalong are 10:30 and 1:30.

Are you planning to do FSF when it first starts or do you have a later trip? I'm glad that we won't be there until about 2 weeks after it starts so that I can hear some reviews and comments before we head down! We LOVED our day there last year for the premium package except that we were totally rained out for the fireworks - it was miserable! The inside dessert party was great though and DD danced her heart out in there!

I'm kind of a local. Not close enough that it's in my back yard, but close enough to spend a few hours at the park. We'll probably go once a week.

I plan to be there opening day.

We did the premium package a few times. This time we are passing on the package.

2 of our packages had the dessert rained out. The dance party inside Disney Jr. was really nice! Thankfully, the rain stopped completely the one time and the other it was just a fine mist which felt good because it was so hot outside.

Between SWW and FSF I feel like I live at DHS.

I forgot to mention that the Anna and Elsa topiary from the F&G Festival is now located where the Sorc Mickey topiary use to be outside of DHS. It's been there about a week or so.

That's awesome! I can't wait to read your thoughts on everything and your report!

Yay! I know DD4 is going to be so excited to see them!

If just wanting to see the Frozen fireworks, does it really matter where you view them from in HS? (sorry if already asked)

The fireworks are designed for best viewing on Hollywood Blvd. You want to make sure you can see either the stage or a jumbo screen and the sky surrounding the Great Movie Ride. Before and during the fireworks, the Frozen characters are on stage. So for full effect you'll want to see both. Last year we watched from Echo Lake between H&V and Indiana Jones. Music was NOT piped there, but you could still hear it if people around you weren't talking.

There is a great view of the fireworks from near the topiary Anna and Elsa, however, no music is piped outside the park and you would miss the stage portion.

Since the 24 hour event is over, I changed the title of this thread. Once SWW is over, I'll organize the 1st post better. Right now, the majority of my focus is on weekend 4 of SWW!

Hi everyone! What time is the royal-welcome-procession-parade this year? Is it 11 am? I can't find this anywhere. Thanks!

Thanks so much! I appreciate all of your information and this is my favorite thread to see when it gets updated!

I am hoping for some advice! We have purchased the Frozen Premium Package for the last park day of our trip in July. My plan is to be at Hollywood Studios when it opens and then get our "credentials" as soon as we can. We will attend the first parade, and then the first Sing Along (hopefully). I then want to leave HS and go to Animal Kingdom around lunchtime and spend the afternoon there with FP+ scheduled for 1, 2 and 3 pm. We would then return to Hollywood Studios in time for the Dessert Party and the fireworks. This will be our last day at WDW and we will have already spent an entire day at Hollywood Studios visiting the attractions and the Fantasmic Dining package to celebrate someone's birthday earlier in the trip. The birthday person does NOT want anything Anna/Elsa/Frozen as part of the birthday which is why we are doing it on a different day. But, this 2nd day was supposed to be our Animal Kingdom day and we don't want to skip that park altogether. Can you tell I am trying to make everybody happy here?

Do you think this plan will work? Is there a direct bus between HS and AK or will we need to take the boat to Swan and catch a AK bus from there? Any and all advice appreciated.

10:30 and 1:30. It has not been officially announced as parade times. But that's my guess based on singalong times.

Don't have firework times. I'm guessing 9:30 on them.

Ah gotcha. Thank you so much!

I'm sorry. I don't know about transportation. I'm going to dhs tomorrow. I'll look to see of there is a bus.

We left and ate at Epcot. If singalong times work out for you, that should be no problem. Just keep in mind that singalong times are 1st come 1st serve for the package. People line up 30 minutes or more before check in time to be able to pick the times they want and get a rope spot.

I wonder if they'll pick people to walk in the parade again this year... DD4 was picked and loved every second of it (and I'm not going to lie... so did I!).

I haven't heard anything. Guess we'll find out on the 17th. It's a magical moment and part of the magic is that surprise element!

It is a bit frustrating that they have not announced the parade times and fireworks time. I guess I will just keep an eye on http://www.orlandoparksnews.com/p/weekly-walt-disney-world-times-guides.html

There is absolutely a direct bus from DHS to AK (and vice versa).
