The article is written by the Food and Beverage Coordinator. I would trust her because the article is focused on the food and beverage offerings.

Best bet would be to email guest relations:

I just did this! I'm sure it will make no difference, but it made me feel better

Dining is clueless.

Deluxe is full for saturday the 12th.

So I booked Sunday the 13th instead.

But the girl on the phone had no clue about diff.

1. For the parade is it a diff spot and handling for the premium vs the deluxe?
2. For the shows. with the prem you get one with the deluxe you get all 4 but you still need to set up the times for each throughout the day correct cause they are multiple times a day. and you can only do it that day yes?
3. for fireworks its the same place for both correct?

Hiro and Baymax finish their meet and greets at 6:30. You'd have to be in line by 4:45 to be assured of meeting them.
DD reports the best plan is to get in line before 10:00 to meet Hiro and Baymax when their meet begins at 10:30. Some guests have been waiting up to two hours to meet them.

Good to know. I hadn't looked Into their schedules yet. Will probably skip them.

1. Yes. Deluxe at the beginning of the route, premium at the end.

2. Each show is performed only once each day. Your credentials are good for one day only.

3. Not clear at this time, but thinking yes. The dessert parties may be separate, but thinking fireworks viewing area will be the same.

Excuse me guys, I am off to screenshot the blog page so I can demand my mickey ice cream bar.

wow...so I FINALLY went in and looked at my reservation and I was booked for the wrong package! It look me 45 minutes on the phone to book and by the time she was done I was in such a hurry (I was at work) I didn't even register that $320 for would OBVIOUSLY be Premium Deluxe I was SUPER clear on which package I wanted too. Well, honestly, I think premium deluxe is a better value. Decisions, decisions.

Just called for FtF Deluxe - sold out for the only day I'm there - June 13th. I'm so disappointed in myself for waiting

3. Not clear at this time, but thinking yes. The dessert parties may be separate, but thinking fireworks viewing area will be the same.

ok so the shows are only once a day. i did not realize that. so one of the shows might be during a parade or fireworks then? so then i don't need to worry about booking anything that day for the shows. i just go at 10 to check in? also that's close to the parade can you check in earlier do you know? i din't see anything about that either? do i even have to bother being early for the parade being that we have spots then?

this is too stressful for some reason. maybe cause we never did it before.

thanks,
jim

Did you mean to get the Premium and accidentally got Deluxe Premium? If it's for 6/13 I'll gladly take it off your hands!

I was finally able to book the 4th weekend FP and all the shows were available, I was worried they would be gone.
I am able to book for the 5th weekend but the shows are not up yet anyone know when they will show up?????

 

[R2D2]

Has anyone heard any news about merchandise offerings this year? I have seen the Galactic Gathering flyer but I am wondering if anyone has heard anything else about when we will know what else will be available.

 

[7dustya]

I can't believe 5/23 and 5/24 are sold out already for the deluxe premium. So disappointing. I booked the regular package but I'm not sure if the value is worth it for me. Having all of the shows was the selling point for me.

 

[Itinkso]

ok so the shows are only once a day. i did not realize that. so one of the shows might be during a parade or fireworks then? so then i don't need to worry about booking anything that day for the shows.

Shows begin in the early afternoon and end before the dessert party begins. Nothing interferes with the parade, shows, and fireworks.

jimim and Seltzer76 - it was sold out when I called at 10am this morning - looks like in order the get the 13th we had to have called YESTERDAY morning. :/
