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

I would assume so. The only place it felt like a lot of people was inside Disney Jr. When it rained and the dessert was in there. Otherwise, outside it didn't feel crowded at all.

Thank you so much!

Yes, you are reading the map correctly. Walking from the BWI will take about 15 minutes. Parking at DHS would be easy too. If you get off of the Tram, head in the opposite direction of bag check and keep walking until the bus loading area is on your right and the waterway is on your left. Turn and look towards the Hat and if your view isn't obstructed, you are in the correct spot.

Thank you!!

I haven't combed each page of posts but the majority of them. Trying to get a strategy to do the most of our day at HS with this.

We will be there Sept 28th, our planned HS day even before extension of Frozen. I have the premiere package and have/want to do the following:

Jedi Training Academy
Frozen Parade
Frozen Sing Along
TSM (FP@ 1035-1135am)
Star Tours (FP@1140a-1240p)
TofT (FP@ 935-1035am)
Disney Jr
Fantasmic (hopefully access to FP after 3rd FP completion)
Dessert Party/Fireworks
Kona ADR @ 525p

Anything else would just be a bonus. With my young DS's we will need a break back at hotel for nap/swim. We have access to EMH hours that night too. And will be there at rope drop.

Is this feasible and should I try to reorganize some or all of my FP?

Have a question for anyone who can help... I have a fantasmic dinner package from Hollywood and vine at 5:40 on sept 28. Now that they have extended frozen it is definitely a priority for my little girl. Thank goodness it just happen to be on our HS day which is the first full day of our trip! Lucky!!! Anyway. My question is can we do both or do I have to go to the first fantasmic with the package or can I use it to go to the later show and see the frozen fireworks first??? Thanks!!!

You should be fine. Ride TSMM after the parade/processional.

Choose your JTA session at rope drop and then choose a Sing-Along that fits around JTA. Your kids will need to check-in 30 minutes before their JTA session or they will risk losing their slot.

Fingers crossed it will be extended again through December! What is the schedule for the Frozen events? I know the sing a long is scheduled several times but need an idea of the entire day before I have to make my FP for that day. Thanks!

Awesome. Thanks.

I have same question, so will be interested in reply(ies).

 

[ErinsMommy]

For anyone that's gone recently, are they keeping the large stuffed Sven, Elsa MB and Olaf MB in stock?? And how much is the Sven going for?? TIA

The fireworks are at 8:45pm the night we are going. If we just wanted to see the fireworks what time would we need to be walking into HS? around 8?

We booked the premium package but I have been doing some researching and the pictures of the fireworks from that spot really don't look good. I am debating skipping HS that day and just showing up for the fireworks but don't what it to be a huge hassle either.

The Fant Dinner Package has reserved seating for the 1st Fant only. You can give your seating vouchers away to other guests and go to watch the 2nd Fant. That way you can find a good area from which to see the stage and fireworks before you watch Fantasmic.

See lovethattink's great 1st POST in this thread. She has all the events listed with times and schedules.

That's what I was afraid of... This is our first time at HS. is it easy to get a good seat for the second show??

As soon as the fireworks end, head straight to Fant. Another option is to try for a 4th or 5th FP for the 2nd Fant and choose seats as close to the center of the amphitheater. Because the center seating is open for the 2nd Fant, other guests have reported FP began filling in the center sections.

Great. Thanks so much!!!

I read the tips on the first page for fireworks viewing after the first Fantasmic show. We have the dining package and I'm really not interested in waiting for the second show as my 2.5 year old son probably won't make it that long. But are there any other ways/places to go for decent fireworks viewing. I've never seen fireworks in HS before so I have no clue. Is it really not possible to watch them from Sunset Blvd or do you have to be on Hollywood Blvd? I don't think its likely we can make it over to Echo Lake in time. Is the tip in the first post really our only option? Thanks for any advice as this extended Frozen stuff has really thrown me for a loop.

With the Dining Package, you'll be seated in the center sections of the amphitheater and if you have to find your stroller in stroller parking, the odds of heading towards Hollywood Blvd. and finding a spot is very slim.

The tips in the first thread are correct... compiled as to what worked the best during SWW based on how guests are unloaded from Fant and no one said there was a view from Sunset. If the fireworks are your priority, you can skip Fant and make a non-Fant package dinner ADR.

Here are my thoughts on doing both F! and the Frozen Fireworks. I would not do both the same night. If any way possible, I would make 2 nights of it. One for fireworks and one for Fantasmic.

Why? Two reasons.
1. My son would not be able to handle both.
2. The selfish reason - It would be a royal pain to push his w/c through the exit crowd of F! AND the Hollywood BLVD fireworks crowd.

But if I were to do both, and doing the fireworks afterwards, I would follow the directions in the 1st post, sticking to the left. Once I got to Hollywood BLVD, I'd try to get over to the stores on the left hand side. Because there is no way my son would be able to see over the crowd on Hollywood BLVD and there is no way we could hold him up or on our shoulders. I would walk through those stores and once I got to H&V, I'd take a left around Echo Lake. Then I'd head over to the Idol Screen or watch the fireworks through the trees in front of either H&V or 50's PTC.

Is it as bad as leaving after Wishes or Illuminations? I am worried about getting out of DHS with a double stroller with throngs of people to get on a bus. I do know that we can wait for crowds to dissipate but I am already pushing time limits with 2 little ones and DH who likes to "get outta dodge" a.s.a.p.! We will probably be up in the reserved section so pretty far away from the entrance! Thanks for any experience!

This was one interesting experience. I could taste both the toasted marshmallow flavoring that was added and the marshmallows. This beverage is found at Oaken's Funland, $3.50
