Had a great view of the fireworks from our window at AOA!!!

Sweet! What building are you in? We are staying there in August.

Never crossed my mind you could see them from the resort! What section are you in?

Little Mermaid Triton bldg 9 facing Lion King. We saw the ones last night also. Nice surprise!!

Oh, and VIP-ers, how was the dessert party? What kind of stuff did they serve?

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.

They had Elsa and Anna's snow outfit (blue dress, pink cape). It was the first time in 10 days that I saw the Anna outfit. Previously, I've seen Anna's green coronation dress at the Elsa/Anna store in MK 2x during the past week. I bought 1 Elsa and 1 Anna for my daughters and 1 Elsa for someone back home. Also 2 Elsa/Anna flip dolls, one for us and one for someone else at home.

Man behind me in line was buying 5 each of the Barbie Elsa and Anna dolls and I'm sure they are on eBay by now.

Desserts were fabulous. There was a fondue table, couple tables of sweets. The strawberry shortcake was my favorite. There were Anna cupcakes, Elsa cupcakes, olaf cakes on a stick (cheesecake on bottom, gingerbread or spice cake on bottom), tarts, etc. Strawberries, apples, pineapple, nuts, marshmallows

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!

Yes, that's basically what it is, but it was my favorite part between the parade, Oakens, and the singalong. I left long before the dance party and fireworks though.

On a separate note, you can see the fireworks from Coronado Springs, too. I didn't (was on the bus) but I heard them and fellow passengers said they could see them.

I'm in the Triton building. 4th floor facing the parking lot and DHS. I sat and watched the fireworks from my room. Ds and I left DH and DD in the park to watch the show. (DS has reached his "loud boom" threshold for the week)


Sing a long was tons of fun! Like every thing else it pays to get in the queue as soon as they let you to get a good seat.

We'd consider doing the premium package again.

Did you happen to notice if they had toddler and girl sized dresses?

Thanks so much for the updates today. Hope you had a fabulous time Do you remember what type do drinks they had?

Thanks so much to everyone who has posted info on this. SO EXCITED!!!!

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

Haha! I just meant I expected more than a tree I could pick up at Target on clearance after Christmas and a couple styrofoam rocks (lady in front of me tried sitting on one).

I gave it a C -- to me, it was good, but not great. I'm glad I went, and my daughter and I enjoyed ourselves and made some memories. She adores her dress. Kristoff was great, treats looked awesome, singalong was good with passes and performance. I liked the fake snow on the road and in the singalong.

Cons to me were the merchandise. They have to come up with a better way. I found Oakens somewhat cheesy and not up to typical Disney standards. The parade was too short, with 9-10 sections.

I did not go, but the party and fireworks sound neat.

I bought a size 3 and 7/8 Elsa and a 11/12 Anna. I really like the Anna one and hadn't seen it before at any of the parks.

Thank you! Looking for 11/12 for our daughter. Will try tomorrow!

I'm really, really hoping they carry this into September. This is a guaranteed money maker for them so I'm hoping they continue this cash cow so I can give more $$ to Disney. In all seriousness, my girls would LOVE this. I would really like to get the premium package too. Crossing fingers that they continue!

 

[ArwenMarie]

Thanks lovethattink and everyone for all of the info and reviews and pics and links! This was a fun thread to read today!

The main problem in carrying it over is that many of the CMs who staff the Frozen events are event CMs, so they'll be needed for the Halloween and Christmas parties come fall. But I could see Disney keeping some elements of the summer fun year-round, maybe the singalong or fireworks a few times per week.

After seeing the parade today, it is very unlikely the Frozen events will continue beyond the posted end date, Sept. 1st. The floats have to be converted back to MVMCP parade mode and the parade CMs are more than likely already cast in MNSSHP.

Was there any time today that you could just walk into Oakens or was there always a long wait? It might be a good idea to add a pass for Oakens to the premium package if that is where the longest wait will be.
