[lovethattink]

The whole fp mde system is down right now...everyone is pi$$ed . And I'm here waiting on answers for sww

My friend at mk reported kiosks not working at mk about an hour or so ago.

I was thinking earlier how awful it would be if FP / MDE went down during SWW - all of that planning...!

How is guest relations handling it ?

Ah, I wondered if it was just me who couldn't access my itinerary. But at least I'm at home - I can't imagine how frustrating that must be for everyone in the parks, cms and guests alike.

Alright here's what I got:
Parade viewing for vip. Across from premium package closer to the stage, when i told him that area is I full sun he did that you could ask be moved to the premium where there's shade ?confused?
All three packages will share the dessert and fireworks viewing party .
He doesn't know if dpp will be on Sids side or Mickey off Hollywood side
Rebel Hangar: it'll be full Service and will take reservations. The agents on the phone just see it now Backlot Express and that's why they are saying it's a walk up. No word on when reservations will open. And no additional word on anything for it.
Off to theater of the stars to see if anyone knows how the lines asked will be setup

The side walk extends longer than the picture.



We got there around 4. By 5:30 the line was closed and very full. They allowed people to wait standby. Those inside the queue at closing got to see them. Those outside in standby were told they might get to see them.

yes, we've seen the Star Wars parade on the Sid's side (like in the picture) - it was nice and shady. A bit annoying because they HAD to keep a walkway clear in the back of the area and people kept insisting on standing in that area and acting dumb. We have also stood on the side by Mickey's - much sunnier! Not sure which area they'll use.

As calmly as possible, not really giving anything out. They are telling everyone go to the fp kiosks apparently they can over ride it

 

[yulilin3]

Worse news of all, the walls might stay up around the new stage and they will put the temporary stage in front of them. I peeked thru a crack and they haven't really done anything, there's tons of lumber and dirt. ..I took a picture thru the crack.will post them all tonight

not really giving anything out - informationwise or FP / Mickey Bar - wise?

Also I have to say I'm impressed with your progress today - you are really out there asking the questions and getting the answers (those that you can anyway!)

They are just telling everyone go the fp kiosk if they want to change their selections.
I experience the lack information every year but it still amazes me.
The cm at beauty and the beast are thinking there will be 3 entrances. The fp is all the way th left, where you would normally go in for fantasmic. This area is actually quite shaded, I took pictures.
The other two are the regular standby in the middle and she thinks that the package would go thru the entrance on the far right...it'll make more sense when i post pictures. The last two areas are in full sun

 

[yulilin3]

And got my new AP cards so I guess they still want me to come?
All ticket booths, will call and outside guest relations Windows will open at 7am during sww

If you could also ask about scooter/wheelchair access at theatre of the stars, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Try as I might, I can't seem to keep up with how fast this thread moves!

What is the Rebel Hangar?

A lounge to take place at backlot express area from 4 to 8ish. There is a likely hood of characters. It will be under $14.99. It was supposed to open for booking on the 15th but so far it hasn't and no one knows when. It will have Star Wars Beer.

I'm working on my Ahsoka Magic Band. I painted the black edge part white and want to add stripes to look like her head tails. These are the colors I have available. Which should I use? I don't have a light blue and don't really want to buy any.

 

[markmcalear]

This Rebel Hangar is going to cause me some planning problems.

Got 50s PT ADR at 4pm and D-Tech at 6:45pm (was planning on shopping at Darths Mall after D-Tech).

Just to add, remember I keep the first post updated.

How is guest relations handling it ?

When we first started using the app it was pretty useless, so what I did was put the FP times on my cell phone calendar.....easy to pull up and see what we had next, and if we changed something easier to change than just an email list or whatever. Still do that to keep track of everything and because I usually find the app to be v e r y s l o w to load, whereas my phone is a swipe and a single press (I have it set for viewing day).
