When is the last ice skating session today?

The times guide doesn't say.

Leaving shortly to go check in to the resort. I probably won't be checking in as regularly between now and tues afternoon.




That's great. We probably passed you last night. Around 8ish my son had Mickey bar mishap right around there. Did people stand directly in front of you are did you have a good view the whole time?

We had a good view, but at the last moment a family stood right in front of our entire table--- we asked them politely to just move a bit to the left and they did.

It was just nice being able to sit

At the 2:30 sing-a-long, no premium package and we are on the side, front row! Great seats - would have been my main reason for the premium package - glad it was sold out! Having a party of 2 helped I am sure.

Waiting for the fireworks now, and secured a FP for the 10pm Fantasmic--- it's beautiful out!!! Got a great table by min and bills that will allow us a great view, and will also make it easy for us to get to Fantasmic in plenty of time!

I am sure this has been asked a thousand times before, but I have looked thru several pages and can't find an answer. Are the Anna & Elsa dresses available anywhere else besides DHS? Are they at DTD? TIF! We check in tomorrow and have the Frozen Premium Package, just trying to figure out our plan of attack!

On another thread, they're being reported as being available @ Sir Mickey's in MK. No one has mentioned DTD.

We're just back from a 3 day trip. Oaken's had Elsa dresses and Anna's winter dress. Sir Mickey's had Elsa dresses and Anna's coronation dress. When we were there, there didn't seem to be a mad rush for either. We were at Oaken's in the afternoon both days, and at Sir Mickey's early afternoon. There seemed to be plenty of dresses available.

I would assume that they're keeping them in the parks to keep them for paying guests, and not DTD because that's open to the general public, but that's just a guess.

Any new toys there?

Ok, was it super crowded tonight or was that normal? We really didn't get to see much of anything. if we go tomorrow night and stand on Hollywood Blvd what time do people start lining up?

We were there tonight as well as last night. I would say the crowds were pretty much the same both nights. We got there tonight around 7:30 and people were already staking out central spots, all the tables were taken as well. We ended up on the pavement sitting down in front of the side screen.....by AIE, and it got crowded there by 8:15! I would imagine crowds will start dying down a bit in the next day or so!

Ok. Thanks good to know. If we head over there tomorrow night.

We will be there in a few days and have the premium package. Assuming we are able to secure a spot for the 3:00 singalong, would you guys do a 4:30 or 6:30 SciFi dinner ADR? The 4:30 seems a little close to the singalong, and the 6:30 seems a little close to the Dessert Party, but I've been looking for a better time for months now, and I'm thinking I'm out of luck. So which time would you keep?

The singalong started on time when we went and wasn't more than 25 minutes, I don't think, so a 4.30pm reservation wouldn't bother me. We ate lunch at Mama Melrose at 12.30pm, however, and I wish we hadn't bothered. It was too much food and we barely ate anything at the dessert party. I wish I'd have eaten counter service that day!

Ok, thanks! That is what I was looking for. Maybe the 4:30 would be better then so we will have more time to digest before gobbling down the desserts.

Actually that's really good that you didn't have anyone till the end. That's how it went for us the first time we sat there. The second time we had people standing in front of us before it ever started.

And with how crowded it was Saturday that was really good.

Waiting for the fireworks now, and secured a FP for the 10pm Fantasmic--- it's beautiful out!!! Got a great table by min and bills that will allow us a great view, and will also make it easy for us to get to Fantasmic in plenty of time!

Sounds like another fun and successful evening! That's great you could enjoy the night, listen to the Icemen and had a great table.

I noticed a few new faces in the Icemen band on Sunday. Did you?

We went to universal in the afternoon and MK in the evening. I was not prepared for the mk crowds. But we saw.yullilin on our way in, her way out. And rode splash with a ten minute wait during fireworks!

That's great! And saved you money.

Just Sven is back. I wish they'd get phone cases back for Galaxy phones. Nothing new that I noticed.

Yes!! It was super crowded. I haven't seen a crowd like this since July 5th when FSF started.

We were there tonight as well as last night. I would say the crowds were pretty much the same both nights. We got there tonight around 7:30 and people were already staking out central spots, all the tables were taken as well. We ended up on the pavement sitting down in front of the side screen.....by AIE, and it got crowded there by 8:15! I would imagine crowds will start dying down a bit in the next day or so!

Usually we can find empty tables up to 8:30. I was surprised to get out of the last AIE and see tables already all taken.

I think it was extra crowded due to all the people who were there to bid farewell to AIE, it was suppose to have been the last weekend of FSF (we booked a room just for that reason), and it's a holiday weekend.

We will be there in a few days and have the premium package. Assuming we are able to secure a spot for the 3:00 singalong, would you guys do a 4:30 or 6:30 SciFi dinner ADR? The 4:30 seems a little close to the singalong, and the 6:30 seems a little close to the Dessert Party, but I've been looking for a better time for months now, and I'm thinking I'm out of luck. So which time would you keep?

After doing 2 packages, my advice is to try to go hungry. The first one we ate lunch at 3 and we didn't eat dinner. (DS had dinner, but dh and I skipped.) We were able to sample a little of everything.

The next time we went to a party we ate at the ABC Comissary around 5pm. DH and I split a meal to try to save room for dessert. I was stuffed after just a couple desserts at the party.

Ok, thanks! That is what I was looking for. Maybe the 4:30 would be better then so we will have more time to digest before gobbling down the desserts.

The earlier the better. And try to save room. Don't leave there stuffed.

Excited for MNSSHP tonight and trying out FP+ for the sing-along tomorrow!

Yea, the band was different! Still love when they do the 80's, but I miss the lead singer that was there in July---

Yea, we have sort been avoiding mk like the plague this trip--- tonight is our MNNS nite, so we don't have a choice, but not planning on getting there until
4pm
