What does this mean? Is this a better set up?
do you remember when the Hat was there and there was a pin store? you have to go up some steps and that is Center Stage without the stage. So it would be in the middle and elevated. Again this was a conversation I had with a manager last year, actually right before the switch from the fireworks show to SWaGS show. She was expecting this to have taken effect last fall. So at least one of the things were true, about the moveable stage.
Thanks. I was thinking you meant a raised center stage was rumoring to be reinstated for the party.
That would be a nice improvement, but do you think it's maybe TOO close to see the projections on all the buildings?
Sorry, but there's nothing you can do to be selected. It's a random selection, most times, made during the check-in process by the CMs at the check-in podium. Usually they look for a family with a couple of younger kids. The kids are given Light Sabers to carry while they help the Stormtroopers lead the group to the viewing area. The family is given a certificate to commemorate the occasion and are announced to the rest of the group before leaving for the viewing area. It's just a fun surprise for an unsuspecting family.
The discussion of how they would handle the show at the center stage area went round and round. There were several rumored concepts until they settled on the stage that was just removed. But the stage concept AFIK was always supposed to be temporary until they came up with a more permanent method. And even this latest method will be temporary because I'm sure that once SWL opens, all the SW stuff currently going on will end.
If they are sincere, then I would like to see the policy of allowing tour guests to enter first cancelled. I'm trying to come up with a reason as to why they do it, but can't
Or maybe you'll luck out and won't.
Was that the procedure when you did the tour? Being first in line for the party, I got the first closest table in the main dining room I could and never saw the front tables clear out the whole evening until it was time to line up. Maybe some did; but a great number did not, due to the guides staying in the party area, probably. I didn't see any difference in how people normally come and go to meet characters during the party than on a non-tour night. Seems like a lot of inconsistencies in how the tour nights are actually operated.
BTW, that's my favorite spot
This is true, but the tour they advertise you get to do the meet and greets. Disney has it set up during the dessert party time.
NVMD about BB8...I misread what you said earlier.
