I know we are going early to get to pick our seats, nothing worse than watching from all the ay down or a very bad side view

I probably would if I lived nearby like you, but we have to drive for 12 hours and time is precious! Can't wait to see feedback from the movie! What are your thoughts on no Luke Skywalker in the poster?

we are not watching it at Disney Springs on Thursday, we are watching in our local IMAX theater, at Pointe Orlando on International Dr...as to why no Luke I think that JJ said that they will not have his face in any of the promotional stuff, I don't know. I'm just super pumped

Good seats? Idk.... I wouldn't

I think they would camp out to get better seats in the theater. I think there won't be reserved seating so first-come, first-served. Yes, they'll have tickets, but first through the door gets their pick of seats, right?

Ok thanks! That makes sense. Right now we're just hoping for two seats together and not the first couple rows. So maybe our low expectations will work out for us.
This is kind of a negative right now for the party. Not sure I want to feel like I need to arrive hours before the movie starts and then be out at the party. At least there's still a few hours to decide.

Now I am not sure about doing the party. I am not willing to go more than an hour ahead or so and if we cant get decent seats for this part and this price...well...we shall have to rethink it. We are 4 and definitely want to sit together and just not in the first few rows.

This may all be for nothing, we may not even be able to get tickets...the old wait and see.

 

[nancipants]

You'll have to line up more than an hour in advance no matter where you see The Force Awakens opening night. Probably all through that weekend (and definitely during the Christmas holiday).

that's why Disney is reminding people that if you are there before 8am you are not allowed inside Disney Springs, don't know how they would control that...just to let you know I know more than one family (us included) taking Thursday off to go line up early and not just here in Orlando.

 

[nancipants]

Agreed, I'm taking off early that day and was going to line up early at Disney Springs even before I knew about this event. I'm actually hoping the event brings LESS crowds than just regular opening night shenanigans, but we'll see.

 

[yulilin3]

Well if there's any doubt of how HUGE this movie will be just look at DL Downtown Disney getting ready for the TRAILER

I wish I had time to go to Disney Springs and see what kind of set up they have here...oh wait they are not doing anything here for the trailer

:facepalm: Honestly, how hard is it to cross-coordinate one media campaign like that from one of the largest MEDIA companies in the world?!

Made me check my theater which doesn't have advanced sales up for that yet. Spectre and Hunger Games yes.. Star Wars, no.

Ironically they are selling pre-orders for Fantasia's 75th anniversary... I always love seeing that in the theater because it's almost always full of pre-school kids that mothers take to see a "Disney" picture and then the kids run up and down the aisle screaming while the mothers all say "Sit down, hang on, Mickey's coming!" Then the theater clears out immediately after Sorcerer's Apprentice just in time for Chernabog.

Heh.. Walt probably planned it that way on purpose...

Anyone have even an approx time they think tickets go on sale tonight? I'm trying to decide if I have to skip yoga for Yoda, haha I crack myself up.

you crack me up too...most people seem to think it'll be between 10 and 10:30

 

[cvjpirate]

I read somewhere, forgot where, sometime between 930 and 10 tonight.

 

[hiroMYhero]

@Turk February posted 9:30/10:00. But, someone else who knew an AMC staff person earlier posted that a very quiet soft open was set for 8:30 ET. The DISer is in Central time and was going to begin searching at 7:30 central time.

It won't hurt to start searching early.

 

[hiroMYhero]

I have a close relative who does web design for a large theater chain & he confirmed that tickets for the force awakens will go on sale quietly Monday at 8:30/7:30c with a trailer showing between 9-9:30 during MNF announcing tickets on sale. He told me be ready to order at 7:30
Disney isn't even giving him artwork for the movie until Sunday night after poster release.

Found it!! ^^^^^

 

[melana]

I am getting so excited. I was on the fence about the movie when it was first announced but I am really looking forward to it. None of my local theatres have their times set yet!!! Hopefully by the time the tickets go on sale they will. I wish I could go to the AMC at Disney Springs..but that's 12 hours away..so I will settle for my Regal Cinema in lexington, Ky. I've already requested off work for the 17th and 18th...LOL.

 

[OhioStateBuckeye]

Found it!! ^^^^^

Sounds like I can take off my yoga pants then...that is smack in the middle of it. Time to get settled on the sofa.

 

[OhioStateBuckeye]

I'm giving Brian his instructions and logging into pages and checking my credit card balance and such and Brian is like...'It's an hour away, and that's assuming it even opens at 7:30 Central time...why are you preparing already?'

Ugh.

 

[melana]

I tried to give my mom instructions on how to do this since I am travelling for work and have limited Internet/4g capabilities...it was painful so I will be heading down to the hotel lobby in a few to just sit and wait and try to get tics...

 

[Iowamomof4]

I've never bought tickets through Fandango before, but it looks like I'm able to purchase tickets already. Is that possible? I'm taken to a page where I can select the number of tickets I want and a timer starts counting down. I haven't proceeded past that though.
