Entering yes you need to be a hotel guest

Leaving nope, just walk out. Been using it for over a year and never had them do anything but tell me have a good day on my way out

Can hotel guests with ONLY OBB tix use the Pixar or Grand Cal entrances?

WWWWUT? YEEEAH! OKAY!

 

[AndrewC]

Yes, After 3pm

It’s been confirmed this year that Pixar entrance is open?

 

[Lisa24jks]

Oh, darn! I’ll have to find cute treat bags to match our costumes.

Try Target for nice treat bags. I don't know what their selection is like this year, but I got some nice fabric bags with cute Halloween patterns and they were only $3 each. Perfect for OBB!

Pain and Panic confirmed for Fountain Meet. Also Hans, Sheriff of Nottingham and Hook. Hook I really can't grasp, especially after the negative feedback from last year. 'Others may stop by unannounced'.

Ember and Wade are replacing Carl and Russell at Pixar Pier.

Scarlet Witch is on Campus, along with Loki, Black Panther and most of the usual suspects.

Other than that no changes to the meet and greets from last year.

 

[JerrodDragon89]

Is it Wade and Ember alone or together when they meet?

I apologize. I was basing my answer on last year's Bash. I have not confirmed that it is open this year. Has something changed?

 

[bfrosty]

I see Bob Eiger and Kathleen Kennedy didn't make the villain list this year.

As far as strategy goes, is the Pixar entrance as good as the others for overall experience? First time at OBB. At MNSSHP you need to have a good game plan to get everything done.

This will be our 1st OBB (going on Thursday). We have done MNSSHP 3x and have always dressed up as that's a big thing at MNSSHP so we brought costumes to wear. But we were were in CA yesterday and left just before the party started and I saw very few people in costumes. Nothing like you would see at MNSSHP. Now I'm worried about being one of the only ones in costumes. Do people here not dress up so much????? We'd like it to feel festive like MNSSHP. What's the percentage of people dressing up

 

[AustinTink]

Sorry another question… What’s the best spot for the parade?

CA has never had parties this early.

People do dress up, but the percentage of people dressed up tends to increase as it gets closer to Halloween.

I saw lots of pictures online of people dressed up last night.

It’s a long parade route with tons of viewing. We have watched from a few spots and they’ve all been fine.

If you watch right in front of Little Mermaid, you can go right to Villains Grove after and beat the main post-parade line.

We used the Pixar Pier entrance in 2022 for OBB. I personally liked starting at the back of the park and working my way forward so it worked great for us. The front gates can have super long lines at 3pm to get in if you want to take advantage of the entire time you have in the park. In 2022, there was no one waiting to get in at the PP entrance. We got everything done minus meeting the Sanderson Sisters. It was their first year and the line was insane so we skipped in favor of doing a few rides.

Wear your costumes! You’ll get a lot of fun attention. My DH gets SO much candy because CMs appreciate his creativity and attitude. And we’ve gotten a lot of compliments from other guests and interaction from the villains.

Usually there is a good percentage of people dressed up, but this week is the earliest DLR has started parties, so maybe it won’t be as much as usual.

I hope this is the case this year too. I would love to skip the lines. The lines at MNSSHP were brutal last year. It would be cool to walk right into OBB.

All this talk about the Pixar Pier entrance has me confused (it doesn't take much to confuse me). We'll be walking over from VDH...is there a better / closer entrance than walking all the way thru DS to the front entrance?
