Preferred Seating???

[JiminyCrkt]

Got my Disneyland package last week !!! It included preffered seating for some of the DCA shows. What is it and how does it work ?

I can't remember which shows this goes to but I think for sure Aladdin and a few others...
They come in the form of little ticket tear offs when you get your package. I totally spaced mine so I had to wait in this incredibly long line to see Aladdin. If I had used my priority seating, it would have been a shorter line. I think they also seat you first. For Aladdin, I think the seating is in the balcony... not 100% sure on that, though. However, if all of the "priority seating" is taken, you will still have to wait in the "regular" line so you may want to show up a bit earlier to ensure the ps.

We are here right now, and we had the same thing. You get a card with tear-offs that you can use for all the shows. Make sure that you read the "fine print" though. We were able to turn up 5mins before the start of the Whoopi Goldberg movie, but when we turned up 25mins prior to the Aladdin show, they would not let us go in - because the fine print says that you have to be there 30mins prior...

we stayed there last week! Where's your room? We were in 1410. The view was incredible!

Also meant to add that we had the tear off passes, too. For the Bug's Life show, we were escorted to row #5, and were the only ones allowed in that entire row. We felt kinda weird at first, but then kinda special!

We used the priority seating for the Turtle Talk with Crush and the Aladdin Show two weeks ago. For Turtle Talk, it is good for the first show of the day. They place you in a roped off line. This line is then admitted first into the theater. We were able to get second row seats and our daughter was able to sit in the floor in the first row right in front of the screen with crush. Then, for Aladdin, we showed up early, we had not read that we had to be there 30 mins. early, so we stood in line and then we were admitted first into the theater. We were in the second row, excellent seats. We were not seated in the balcony. I would take advantage of the priority seating, it did make for better viewing of the shows.

We're on the 10th floor, with a great view of the park. I owe you all a trip report... We booked a "carpark" view room for the 5 of us, but when we arrived the other day, they told us we'd been upgraded - we're in a suite on the 10th floor, facing the park! We were just able to see a corner of the big screen the other night for the Pirates Premiere, and we definitely had a great view of the fireworks at the end of the premiere...

I saw Turtle Talk at WDW...I don't know if I would use my priority seating on that one..but last year I saw Aladdin..and I loved it so much I want to go again..I will use it on that one..I hate the line for Aladdin..for some reason..it seems hotter and more in the sun than any other line...

I have to agree with that. The PS line was directly in the sun with no shade while we were there. But we had great seat once we were let in.
