Last year we found out the end of September beginning of October. I have gone the last five years and last year seemed a little later than years before. The wait is so painful!!!! It drives me crazy!!!! You will have SUCH A GREAT TIME!!!!! It is so much fun!

The Street Jam is at night (I believe around 7 or so). There are a number of people that perform, such as Kassie DePaiva. Last year Cameron Mathison and Edyta (from Dancing With the Stars) danced. It was fun. It usually lasts about an hour. You get to see soap stars singing and having fun. I would definately make a point of going one night. It is worth seeing!!!!

Does anyone know (who has gone to last years or any SSW) if they have any Extra Magic Hours for DHS on those days?

I am just wondering if they have AM or PM Extra Magic Hours on the Saturday or Sunday.

No they do not, but if you get there BEFORE park opening on Sat. the first day, you can stand in a VERY long line, and watch other people get in the park before you, that have been there since 3:00am. So, I wouldn't even bother getting there before 8:30am as the park will not even be open than till 9.

My sil said they opened DHS an hour earlier both days last year (7:30?) for SSW and that people were there at 4am for the SS fastpasses. Now that is just nuts!
I told my sil to have fun and we'd catch up with her later for lunch or a ride. I wouldn't wait on line that long to meet anyone.

People stand in line as early as 4AM (sometimes earlier)....At about 7am or so, they begin to bring people into the park, but you're staying on a line and they take you backstage and eventually devide the lines up to bring them to their fastpass lines (ie, Indiana Jones for GH, etc). Basically, you're in the park from that point on. However, nothing is functional, so you can't really do anything other than wait on the line adn use the bathroom if need be. Once they take you to the beginning of the lien for the fastpasses, you have to wait until 8 or 9. I remember it being 9am in 06 for some reason and 8am in 07, but my memory on this is off. but once the park opens, then you can get your fastpass and go to the first event.

The street Jam is fun. They have actors singing, like someone said Cameron and Edyta danced last year. It's great. You can go on youtube and check out some of the prior years street jams to see if it's something that you might enjoy!

This will take you to you to youtube with a link of past SSW Street Jam performances:

So I have to vent. I was one of those people who booked the 8th/9th and had to change my hotel and airfare due to the date change. The good news is the hotel worked out and I was able to get the Boardwalk Villas for the entire stay. The bad news is Jetblue raised it rate for flight changes and we have to pay $100 per person to change a $90 flight! Ugh!! The things I do for soap stars.

LOL, you have no idea. The things I do for soap stars borders on obsession, lmao

Here are two short, not so good clips of mine from 2007:

Let's get Loud - right after the grand motorcade and the actors were all on stage right before the street jam:

Well looks like I'm not going to SSW then. I was really hoping for the weekend prior. I am going to WDW but I think I'll go back to my original dates in October. My friends are going at that time and it will be nice for a get together. Perhaps next year.

 

[msminniemouse]

I guess I won't be able to go either . I really was hoping that it was the weekend before, on 11/8 & 9. We already have plans to go the weekend before, because my kids have off from school that week. Hopefully, next year they will change the dates back to the second week in Nov., and then I'll be able to go then.

As I stated earlier, our group is bummed too. One is going on the Rick Springfield cruise that weekend so it had worked out for soap weekend to be the weekend before. Too well, I guess. So here I am having to get a room by myself cause everyone else pretty much backed out. We should all get together and commiserate about all the things we do for the love of our people. As stated earlier by the girl who has to change her plane reservations and pay extra. You only live once. I am trying to get a room at All star movies or music once I do maybe some of us can meet and get together. Lets try and make the best of this, we can't change it but at least we can still go.

Now if only they would extend the F&WF one extra week. That might make me feel better. LOL But I do feel somewhat settled now that it's all taken care of.
