Here now---- whatever you do---- do not miss the "Sing-Along"!!! We are going for the 3rd time at 5pm!! ( we loved it!!)

For as fast as they put it together , really think they did a great job!!! The hosts are a hoot (some might recognize the woman)

The entire theatre was into it, and we really had a blast!!!

Oaken's merch is walk-in all day--- no wait at all!!

Great day so far!! Can't wait for the party and fireworks!!!

Sounds like Oaken's merch is more organized today or less people buying? Maybe yesterday was just plain crazy with people wanting to make sure they got the best selection ... Maybe?

Hmmmm... So parade viewing is maybe just as good or better outside the Premium reserved area?

And in those picture of the dessert party, the Anna cups look plastic, I guess? If you're at the party, do you get to keep them?

Thanks to everyone who is reporting live!

My son kept them they are little push up cups filled with some kind of cream cheese. He didn't like the dessert but loved the little push up. It's about an inch long.

My little man is so excited!!!

For those that saw the parade today, did they pick kids & parents from the crowd again to join in the procession or was that only on opening day yesterday?

I wanted to add that if your child was picked for the parade, the rest of your party not walking in the parade will stand in the reserved area near the stage in a roped off section. I presume it's the same area as the package guests.

Kids were picked.

No, their viewing area is across the street from package, right by the stage.

So what time are people lining up to check in at Min and Bills for a 10:00 check in for the package? I really don't want to have to be there for rope drop to line up to check in at 10. Between our FPs and our 12pm DIne With an Imagineer (a 2 hour lunch) we might be tight for a sing a long time, so I'd like to be able to still have some options. Would lining up by 9:30 be sufficient to get our choice of sing a long times? Thanks!

Did you do the premium package? If so, what time did you select for the show?

A friend of mine was lucky enough to have her daughter picked today. They were brought backstage and even met Anna and Elsa! What a great memory!

I'm still going back and forth about where to be for the fireworks. I have the package but also know that the viewing wasn't that good with it for SWW. That stage is so dang tall!

I am sure it is listed in here somewhere, but what were the AM refreshments and PM desserts?

Also it seems like it is a lot of waiting in line even if you have the premium package. Trying to decide if it is worth the $150 for my family. We have the fantasmic package on our HS day, so I don't know if we could even do both.

The morning had frozen lemonade, soda, water, and Mickey Bars. The dessert party had a variety. If you got about two pages back you'll see pics.

You could easily move closer to Min and Bill's or go to in front of Prime Time.

For the last SWW fireworks of the event, we left Brown Derby less than 30 minutes before the fireworks and found great, uncrowded spots at Prime Time. It's hard to see what is on the AI screen but you can clearly hear the fireworks soundtrack.

So would you say 50's is a good spot to view fireworks then? I'm considering a 7:50 ADR there. We would probably get out right on time for the firework show. does that sound like a good plan? trying to rearrange my plans to fit in all the frozen fun.

If you don't mind missing what is happening on the stage, it's a great view of the fireworks. You would have time to see what the area around Min and Bill's looks like, too, and then decide. You will have a good view of the AI screen the closer you are to Min/Bill's.

Watched the video of the singalong last night, is the female host one of the parade hosts during SWW?
