**Official Frozen Sing-Along, Oaken's, Holiday Premium Package Tips, updated 1/5/15

[lovethattink]

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.

I'm either going there or near idol. Does anyone know if they showed the character part v on the idol screen?

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

I think she may be from Hoop-Dee-Doo.

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.

Thanks!

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!!!

Ok, so now to figure out of this is because
A. Disney got their act together
B. Yesterday was just a fluke because it was the first day
C. Today was walk in because everybody and their mother already went yesterday

Hopefully it's a combo of the three and will remain that way when we're there in a few days

Wow- do you think so? I was secretly thinking the same thing!

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!

I'd like to know this as well!

Possibly her accent!?! Or, Hoop-Dee-Doo takes place in Norway/Arendelle!

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.

Thanks! We will be there our last night so I'm hoping to get a pretty good view of everything without having to buy the package.

Lovethattink reports that Oaken's is down to just Anna Magic Bands.

oh no!!!

 

[tinkerhon]

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

Didn't do the package--- picked up our tix in advance and they let you in 40 mins prior to the show--- we ended up 1st on line, and were 6th row center!
Great seats!!!

 

[tinkerhon]

oh no!!!

I had posted that yesterday--- looked like they were running low--- was told only a few Anna left now--- no others

Glad we didn't wait!!'

Not sure, but she's been an "idol" judge for years

 

[oliviaik]

Can anyone tell me where the most ideal viewing location would be for the fireworks if you do not have the package? I keep hearing that you don't want to be too close to the hat because the fireworks will be obscured, but the further out you go the less you can see the characters. Where would be the best mix of the two?

I'm hoping this holds true since we will be there tomorrow! Hoping that the crowds may also be a bit lighter since it's a Monday and locals will be at work!

It's 11:00. lovethattink's 1st POST in this thread has all the correct info.

The CM was probably confused with SWW events.

 

[lovethattink]

I'm sitting at min and bills watching the stage. Saw the band on the idol screen. Hoping the characters will be broadcasted on the. If not. We have awesome firework seats!

Same here! 7/18 as well All the earlier reports said they had PLENTY of stock to last for all the weeks, so there's no way they are actually OUT, right?? My mom really had her heart set on an Olaf MB

Some people are collecting them, just to collect them, not necessarily to use. And if parents bought a complete set for their kids, that's still less than the cost of an Elsa dress.

I hope the reports are correct and they will still be in stock later this month when you visit!
