What's the line for??

No line, but looks like people were waiting for the new Muppets show to start. It plays out in the windows on the second story of those buildings. It's cute.

@Disneymom1126 Yes, this line was taken on 9/25/2016 at 5pm and it's for Jack & Sally.

Sams is like BJs and Costco - you need a membership to buy anything

Not true I get my giftcards from BJs online & I am not a member

I meant if you go into the store. I never bought anything online before from any of the clubs.

It looks to me like it's the line to meet Jack and Sally by the gazebo in Liberty Square...that is where they met guests last year

Holy moly that's some line. If you were on a line that long how long would it take to get to the character?

That being said, BJs has a 90 day free membership promo going on right now; no CC needed to sign up. That's what I did, so I never actually tested whether I would have needed a membership or not (I kinda just assumed so).

We waited to meet them at the end of the night last year and the line wasn't quite that long, but it took us 45 minutes. If you want to meet some of the characters at MNSSHP (last year - Jack and Sally, 7 dwarfs, Minnie/Donald/Daisy in costume, Jack Sparrow, 100 acre woods gang in costume, Belle and Gaston) you'll definitely want to watch for tips in this thread and still plan on having a longer wait for some. After the first party people will begin to report their experiences with the characters and lines and give tips on when they actually start meeting (some will start before 7 pm) and how best to plan for meeting them. In my opinion, it's not possible to everything in one party if you want to meet a lot of characters, so you'll notice on here people will talk about doing two parties for this reason. We usually have maybe one or two characters we want to meet (ones we haven't met before), but our favorite things are the parade and Hallowishes so we spend a lot of time doing rides, trick-or-treating, etc. until those things are happening.

As I was typing out Hallowishes...it made me wonder. Any thoughts on whether that will change since wishes is going away? Since Hallowishes is completely different than wishes - probably not...but I wonder if they will incorporate the new tech that has been installed for Happily Ever After into Hallowishes?

My guess is that they will go on sale sometime next week. They were about a week behind on announcing the dates compared to last year so I am hoping the same time table applies to when they will put the tickets on sale. (AKA I am HOPING they go on sale next week.....)

Has anyone seen an promotional pics for this year's party that show what costumes Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Goofy will be wearing? I'm thinking it would be fun to dress up as them, but they change their costumes every year, and I don't want to be out of date!

Good to know! Since I talked to several people here yesterday, I was NOT at up at the crack of dawn the way I had been. That is what I call PROGRESS.

Hi everyone! New to the thread here. This will be our first time attending MNSSHP. I'm eager to buy tickets as soon as they are released. Do you think a Sunday night or a Thursday night would be less crowded?

For the dessert party I understand you get reserved spot for the parade. Is is a good area to watch the parade from? Is there a mad rush of people who are all doing the dessert party racing to get front row? And when you get over to the spot where you watch the fireworks is there always a spot where you can see or is just folks that get to the front of the viewing area that get a decent view?
Also, how early do you have to get there to see the parade if you have this reserved?

The reserved area for the parade is the area all around the flagpole. So plenty of front row spots. They tell you to arrive 15 minutes prior to the start of the parade, but the problem is that while the HH will come by almost immediately, the rest of the parade will take another 20 minutes to get to that area. So that's a lot of wasted time, IMO. But if you choose to skip the HH and arrive closer to when the parade itself will pass, you may not end up with a front row seat. You can also come and go from the area, but risk losing your spot.

After the parade, CMs escort everyone from the viewing area to the terrace. Seating is first come, first served up there, and not all tables are created equal, so you'll want to be toward the front of the line. The better views are toward the back of the terrace (for a more "centered" view of the fireworks), but you also don't want to be under the overhang. They've pushed the tables all the way up to the railing, so standing there is no longer an option, making a good seat critical.

I don't think they change costumes every year? Minnie got a new dress in 2015 but I'm almost positive that the rest of the Fab 5 had on the same costumes last year that they did when we went in 2014.

I'm wondering about the crowds between a Sunday and Wednesday. Touringplans has a calendar that shows crowd size for last year for each party date. Just google:

Y'all are so smart do I need a membership for sam's, or is a GC enough to get in? Thanks!

i believe you do need a membership but you can always ask for a one day pass at customer service.
