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

I just tried to make a FP reservation for sept 19th. There's nothing available. Should I assume they are all gone and I'm stuck waiting in a standby line? I was a fan of the paper ticket return since we were leaving for an afternoon break and planning on returning for the 7pm show right before fireworks. Ugh Disney. Stop switching stuff around on me.

I just snagged a sing along pass for 12:10 on Sunday. We arrive in Orlando on Saturday, we are staying at the Hyatt MCO, and take the Disney Express to Animal Kingdom Kidani Sunday morning, and then using the AKL transportation to Hollywood Studios, how long will all of this travel take?

What time should we leave the Hyatt to get to AKL and Hollywood Studios by 12:00?

Can we go from they airport directly to Hollywood Studios to save time and have our bags go to the hotel without us?

I'm a "local" so hopefully someone will chime in with advice.

Thanks! Just grabbed one for 9/26.

I am so glad you all posted this! I just switched our little mermaid fp+ for the frozen sing-a-long fp+ instead. It helps so much knowing what time we are going to get to see that show! I never would have thought to check back for it since it wasn't an option before. Thank goodness for this board!

Does AI have a set closing date? (I thought I read it was ending, but maybe I'm mistaken.)

Is the AI theater much smaller than where Frozen is currently? Wonder if they are adding more show times because its moving to a smaller space.

Never a dull moment planning a Disney trip!

Sorry I missed this. August 30th is AI's last date. Rumor is that Frozen singalong will replace it. Just rumor at this point.

Itinkso, do you know the AI's theater capacity?

Keep trying. But if it's going to work the same as the SWW FP+, standby really wasn't that bad of an option. In fact, we often got better seats in standby than we did in FP+. But it did mean getting in line much earlier.

Congratulations!

I'm kind of surprised they have it tier 2.

Got one! I was attempting to do it on the app earlier. Maybe that was the issue. Now I have to decide if I want to pass on the chance to get a 4th FP for GMR since we will have to wait so long in the day to use our 3rd one. Hmm...decisions, decisions.

You will have to go to AKL because ME won't transport you to a park.

You should leave the Hyatt by 9:30 at the latest because you may need to wait on ME to AKL. Check-in and busing to DHS will take a few minutes. Sometimes you may need to wait 15 minutes or more for a bus to a park depending on the timing.

When we last stayed at AKL, we arrived at the Bus Stop just as the DTD bus was pulling in. Others had been waiting more than 15 minutes for that same bus.

Congrats! Shouldn't make a difference whether app or website. I was able to make it on both.

In the AI auditioning guidelines, it states the theater seats a little over 1,000 guests... so comparable to Premiere!

I wonder if all the Equity CMs move from AI to the Sing-Along... have you noticed?

 

[bjam12]

I asked this before but didn't get an answer from someone that knew for sure, so I'll ask again. Will I be able to go pick up Frozen Sing-A-Long tickets by myself for a party of 7 or does the whole party need to be there?

Thanks.

We've only seen Idol a few times. Ds couldn't handle the lighting in there for until recently. I know the male cm (one at a time) have been on the event stage for opening rope drop, announcements with Olaf throughout the day, and the fireworks.

I haven't noticed any in the singalong. But with makeup and wigs I'm a bad judge. I can't even tell when my friends who are in entertainment are with their friends more half the time. Disney magic is really good!

Yes, only one person from your group needs to go!

All of the performers from the Sing Along (the historians) are from Citizens of Hollywood and AIE.
One of my favorite Citizens (Shelby Mayer) worked at AIE as a judge but now left his full time and is only on call for Citizens and works full time as a wand maker at Harry Potter DIagon Alley
Almost all rotate and play different characters around the parks

Cool. Thank you. I'll have to pay more attention.

I didn't even think of the capability of ABC Theater to have fp.
I just booked fp for the Sing Along for Sept. 6.

I would just like to note that I did call the change in venue when the additional show times were announced. I've been having a crappy week, so I'm taking that as a win! LOL.

I'm so glad that they're keeping the singalong, and adding FP+ to it. I'm also glad it's not a Tier 1...how many people would lose. their. minds if they had to pick between TSM and the singalong?

good call.
I just checked and it still says that it's going to be at Premiere Theater
I wonder how long it would take them to take all the signage from AIE down?

You win.

Yes, tier one would be interesting to say the least.

I don't know about AI, but guess we'll see Aug 28 how quick the premiere theater transforms from Frozen to Oogy Boogie?
