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

[dljacob]

I decided to book the premium package and am trying to figure out how to squeeze everything in with a fairly long midday break. What time should we get to the reserved area for the parade? What time do we leave? Trying to figure out a time for JTA. Ideally we would do the first one at 9:15 but i know that is doubtful because the first few will fill up. Also trying to avoid doing it in the heat of the day so wondering if 10:05 would work.

I think we'll leave for an afternoon break (staying at OKW) then head back in again to catch the 6.30 pm sing a long (if we can get in for that time at check in in the morning). The plan being we'll do the sing a long, then head to dessert party etc.

I have double checked F! for that night and it is definitely only showing 8.30 pm. (I would imagine the hours and timings of things will be starting to cut back by 24 August as aren't most of the US kids back at school by then?). Looks like we won't get to see it that night.

Does anyone know about what time GMR and TSMM reopen when evening EMH is 10-midnight and Frozen fireworks are at 9:30?

You would really have to book it afterwards to the package area and I'd suggest getting your credentials sometime before heading to JTA

You shouldn't have any trouble getting into the 6:30 singalong. Even as standby, if you can't get the package time for then.

that was my thought too. I was planning to get the credentials while DH took the kids to JTA sign up. What about the dessert party...is it necessary or desirable to be there at 8:15pm exactly? If we did 8pm JTA would that be a problem? I want to try to maximize our out of park time if possible and I know we need to be at JTA 30 min prior.

Getting in line late for the dessert party doesn't matter unless you want a table of your own or care where your table is located. I can't remember if the desserts stop right at fireworks start or not?

If I would like to see the 10:30 parade/procession with my Frozen obsessed 5yo DD, what time do you recommend staking out our spot?

We plan to be there for rope drop in hopes of signing up for Jedi Training Academy. With this in mind, and my understanding that JTA sign-ups is close to the hyperion theatre were they make a stop, I was thinking of trying to position ourselves in that area -- any particular side of the street/locations you can recommend?

Also, would having a FP+ for the 11:30 Frozen sing-along show (line-up time is 11:05-11:20) be workable, or should I change my FP+ for the next show?

Is the 1:30 parade/processional more or less crowded than the 10:30 one?

Thanks, in advance, for any and all responses!!!

We walked right by as the 1:30 was starting, no problem with viewing, its fine, a bit repetitive tho, I wouldn't personally camp out too long for it...

Nothing takes precedent over the Frozen Fireworks as far as I'm concerned. And I like the Singalong and especially the comedians.

Desert party was at Idiana Jones tonite. CMs said it was because of rain..but it never rained. I thought it was pretty lame compared to last year. I got a few drinks and fruit and went out to the dance party which was awesome.

The earliest I've staked out a spot was 30 minutes, but that was for a shady spot. Last time I looked for a spot near the Hyperion Theater, they weren't letting people sit on the steps. I don't know if that changed? The parade will stop at the Hyperion with the front of the parade. The back of the parade stops before the event stage with Elsa right beside the sound booth tent.

It's easy to get to the 11:30 singalong after the parade. Since you have a fp, just follow the parade. You'll probably be too early to get in and will have to wait a few minutes. It's full sun waiting, but there is fans and shade once they let you into the holding area.

1:30 parade has been less crowded and much hotter with less shade available.

What did you find lame about the dessert party? The selection of desserts?

 

[sunnygal041]

I think the location played a huge role. Indiana Jones and Frozen just don't mix. The lighting made it hotter than if it was in the usual place. The lack of air circulation was a biggie. The deserts were pretty much melting and there was one place for adult beverages. Many folks left and didn't come back. It was odd to be so far away from the dance party, too.

Has anyone heard if the "Frozen Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique" .. that I heard news sites say would be coming to DHS mid July has opened yet?

Just curious .. was wondering if I could reservations for my niece for later in August for that ...

I was just coming to see if any further word has been announced too.

We did the Anna and Elsa Boutique out in Disneyland last month. It was great and hope the WDW version is similar.

Any hopes that they'll extend the dates on this party?

I go to HS weekly, and there obviously was a ton of talk about Hiro/Baymax and AoA building, but I have heard bupkiss about a new BBB boutique. I can ask, but I certainly haven't seen anything open like that there myself...

 

[tinabina919]

They haven't canceled the parade have they? I don't see it in the HS schedule for the week of my trip(Sept 2-8), I could have sworn I saw it there before.

Also, is FP needed for the sing a long or is it like other shows, where I can just show up 30mins before showtime?

I'd be surprised if they do.

I haven't heard a word either.
