This was the weirdest part of the day. When we got to the waiting area right by the red light house around 6:30 and nothing happened. We thought they won't get the line around 7 pm. I have read from S.S. Columbia thread about the wait line was set up right next to the railings by WCT instead right next to the lit house.
When it was 7 pm, there was no setup right next to the WCT. Instead the CMs were getting the barricades around the light house towards the LMR. I was wondering why are they doing the same technique as opening week when I was there in June. When I read these other threads and it said that they have a system for the WoC FP ticket holders and all of a sudden making people wait right by the blockade with different FP doesn't make sense. Luckily we were right next to the blockade and we waited for a long time.
It was around 7:45 that they let all the guests with FP for the 9 pm show to come in. We walked really fast to get to our section. We were the first people to get in the blue section and we got the section that I have planned. (Thanks Disneyland1951 for the WoC best viewing area) we got the 2nd tier level on the blue side and got a good railing area. It was in the same area that my DA and I did two months ago, but this time we were right next to he railings, not behind some people. There was a family that tried to get there kids in fro of me, but I set up a blanket and setup my tripod to tell people that this is my spot. The family asked if they can let the kids right next to the railings, but I said I am sorry and didn't allow them to be up front. The family was rude to the other guests when they were coming in and all of a sudden asking if they can get their kids upfront is just not right.
When we got our area setup, DS 7 was tired so he got to sleep on the blanket that I setup. Just wait what happens next.
Than at 8:30 it was time for the EoC pre-show and the Disney carnival style puppets. I tried to wake him up, but I couldn't get him up so I just left him as he is until the show. When it was al,sot time for the show, I told him to get up and he was still sleeping. I had to use water to wake him up and still wasn't up yet. Than just a few seconds when WoC starts, he just got up and than it started. I was kind of disappointed if he slept through the show while we waited to get a good spot.
He really loved the show and I was happy of how the video recording went during the show. After WoC was over, he was tired and we decided to go back to the hotel. We called up his DD and we left the park when the CMs were escorting the guests out of the paradise bay area.
We got to see part of Magical when we were walking out and than he wanted to see Glow Fest. It was nice to see GF, but he was not impressed with GF. After that, we headed out of the park and head on over to the pickup and dropped off area.
When we got to the area, DD was already waiting for us and we got in the car and went back to the hotel.
This weirdest day for me ever going to DL, not only just a sick child, but also how The CMs handled WoC waiting area just like the first week. When I read from other threads saying and showing pics that they have a system for handling the different FP ticket holders. Than I have planned of what the other DISers have told these past few weeks about the WoC waiting area.
