I wanted to let others know my experience with WoC and our son's SN stroller that is huge.
We got tickets to the 2nd show in the yellow sections. They were given to us by the conference DH was attending. We went to go on rides but noticed all but Toy Story was closed. We got on this and the ride broke and everyone was let off the ride. It was sad but we understood and tried to be nice as the CM's were tired and working hard.
WoC had started but from the back was not a good view at all. We tried not to watch as we didn't want to ruin it for our show. We went over the bridge and asked where we should go for wheelchair seating. We went back to the grizzly area and were then told to just wait where the split going left and right around Grizzly is. We waited there and then were told that we would line up against the blue wall to prevent us from the crowds exiting. It all went very well and when the crowds left we were let in and down to the end where there was a ramp. Then back to the yellow section, and on the 2nd level right next to the rail. Perfect seating and not wet, the view was perfect and the show was wonderful. We were told later that the 1st show is always very crowded and more on that later. We waited to exit until everyone was about gone. Upon exiting we waved to a manager in a button up shirt, Andy and said thanks for show and working hard. He started up a conversation with us and we chatted a bit. Long story short at the end, Andy took off his entire pin lanyard and handed it to our kids.
Thanks Andy for the magic. It was above and beyond and we really do just say thanks where we come from and wave to folks.
WoC 2nd time: We then went to WoC on the dinner at Ariels. The food was good but the noise level was deafening. We couldn't even speak to each other it was so loud. We were given our tickets for preferred dining area. I had already gotten blue seating at 9 am offered to the hotel guests. So we had our choice of where to sit and what tickets to give away. We sat in the split between the two and up a bit more and behind a bench. It was packed, crowded and extremely hot. We just went back to the ramp then up to the PD section. The area was packed and we lined up near the back by the rope in the wheelchair section. The view of the show was good but there were so many more people in front of us, it was harder to see the show.
If you are in a wheelchair or SN stroller I would suggest going to 2nd or 3rd show and not have to worry about getting in and out or crowds. JMO
