Night entertainment

[3DisMunchkins]

We will be in the parks Nov 14-17 but have to leave early on the 17th so have 3 nights. It will be me and 3 kids age 8,11, and 11. Just wondering which night entertainment to plan for and which night. I know we want to see PTN and fireworks on night. Debating on WOC Celebrate! Or a Winter Dreams. We have not seen either although my kids really enjoyed the previous WOC with great seating...they agreed it was worth the wait.
So...which is your favorite and best strategies for our 3 days?
Thanks!

I would recommend trying for fireworks early in your visit, so maybe on the 14th and no later than the 15th. November is still Santa Ana wind season in southern California, so it is possible that high winds at upper elevations could cancel the show. This way, you would still have at least one more night, the 16th, to try to see DF. WOC rarely gets cancelled (it's possible, but not common), so you can schedule that for the 15th or 16th.
Is F! not in your plans? Just asking because that show will be going on a prolonged hiatus starting in January, so it might be worth trying to see it this trip.

I agree about the fireworks being scheduled the first night just in case. I also love F! Which will be going dark for a year plus after Jan- so I would think about that. WOC was just ok for us when we saw winter dreams, but I saw the YouTube version of Celebrate and wasn't overwhelmed either. If you like Frozen, I would say do winter dreams (Olaf is cute but it is a lot of Frozen), if not hit Celebrate- other than then a few awkward parts where NPH is in the scene and shouldn't be (it's just weird lol), it seems pretty cute and has lots of fun movie clips. Maybe view them both on YouTube to see which you might like best or go based on time?

When we were there in January we saw F! but WOC was down. We may try to do both but I think the priority will be WOC. My girls are a little "frozened" out so we may opt for Celebrate! It's the later of the two shows so hopefully will help with crowd also???? Then maybe see F! the last night if possible.
New question...just found out my 8 yo son broke a bone in his ankle (growth plate) and is supposed to be on crutches for at least 2 more weeks. We leave in 2 weeks and 2 days. I'm guessing I'll have to get a wheel chair. Any advice for night shows with wheel chair??
Thanks AGAIN!

There are special viewing areas for those in wheelchairs and ECVs. Not exactly sure where they are, but others will be able to chime in.

For WoC, it's behind the terraced FP viewing areas (denoted with an "HC" in the map):

Does anyone know if the view is okay from there? Luckily he is light enough I could always carry him down if I needed to.
