The Oaken thing was fake Christmas trees with fake snow on top.

Well, yeah.

Disney is slipping though. I bet people would have paid TOP DOLLAR for real snow out there today!

We thought the inside ( trees and snow) was beautiful!! Great photo ops too!!

Thanks!! He might be able to get into the park for the 5 or 7:00 shows. I wonder if I explain to the CM that he has an after 4pm ticket because of a conference and that he would be cutting it close if he had to stop and check-in, if they would be willing to give me his lanyard and select a show time without him. Considering the packages have already been paid for, I don't see why this would be hard to do.

Anyone have a current wait time for Oaken's? Is the merchandise staying stocked?

It sounds like the process of picking up the tickets for the show and then lining up just before the return window opens has been pretty painless.

Kenny is reporting only one member in each group needs to pick up tickets for the whole group. Tickets available at rope drop for the first show and guests cannot request specific shows.

Were you able to request specific shows with the premium package? I need to work around my scheduled FP+ s.

Yes, you select your showtime after you've checked in and picked up your package lanyards.

Yes, that's one of the main perks of the Premium Package.

At 1pm, we were told 3 hr wait, but it was 90 mins---- other than the magic bands, stock was fine--- looked like they were running low on bands, but no idea if they had more in stock room

Giving out show tickets without the package seems to have been a moving target today. At one point I was in a long line and could only get tickets for the number present and only for the show they were giving out. Later there was no line and you could get as many as you wanted, but again for whatever show they were giving out at the time.

I'm curious about the merchandise. I wonder if they are rationing it and/or replenishing supplies or if the later you attend the less choices you have. I'm particularly interested in the coveted dresses- are they there? I have dodged the bullet for a while but last week my DD (4 & 4) declared we had every other princess dress but A & E and they really wanted one. I have no problem telling them no but it would be nice to get my hands on a set of costumes.

Most of the CMs people have talked to today have seemingly been pretty upfront about the fact that things will be tweaked with this event as you go along. I would expect the way they distribute the singalong tickets to be among the prime trial and error targets.

Was interesting reading the comments about the skating. They have a small "fake" rink at Celebration at the holidays - the kids were skating with walkers! Looked pretty silly but probably saved some injuries.

Interested in reviews of the parade viewing for the Premium Package as well as the Fireworks viewing areas. Pics from those places would be good too. KennythePirate's review for SWW makes it seem like the premium viewing areas are quite poor and not worth the money... Is it the same in this case???

Dresses were there this morning. On another forum, photos of guests with their arms full of Olafs were posted. It appears there is no limit on what is being purchased. Locals were in line for merchandise and the speculation was the items may be showing up on eBay soon.

From the few pics and videos I've been able to see today, it looks like the Frozen Sing-a-Long is just clips from the sing-a-long version of the movie - is that the case? Interested in hearing if it's worth seeing, really - as getting easy decent seats for it was the main point of me buying the premium package. Thanks!

That sucks. That's one of my giant pet peeves- people who buy stuff they don't actually want for themselves/family members and then make big money from it on ebay, etc. I hope they get stuck with their merchandise and it rots in their garage.
