World of Color Superthread

I thought I heard a cast member tell someone that you can get VIP by doing a park tour as well.

Other people may be offered the VIP section, at the discretion of the lead and the person running the VIP section.

There are also other circumstances that lead to them offering the VIP section.

It has been given to us once, due to some issues with how ADA viewing was handled about a year ago.

A lead gave it to my Uncle (without him asking), because he mentioned that he played (along with his Twin Brother) Little Ricky on I Love Lucy when they were kids.

We almost ended up there with the Carthay Circle FPs, because we can't stand for long periods of time and there were no benches left. They ended up finding room in a better spot though.
So, there are circumstances that the VIP section is used for, but I think they should open it up at say 5 minutes before the show starts to anyone.

My favorite spot is the elevated rail spot about 20-30 feet back from the front rail on the water I have done twice and it is too close. Worth doing once but I do not plan to go there anymore.

SO, it sounds like this location is in the CCT area now, is that correct?

I wish I knew. Skiingfast said the boundaries seem to change from night to night so it is hard to tell.

I tried searching for this answer, but wasn't successful. It's an easy one though-

If 4 people want to get FPs for World of Color, all 4 tickets need to go through the turnstile and each inserted into the distribution machine, correct? It's not possible for 2 people to take the 4 tickets and get 4 FPs, since only 2 of the tickets would be active in the park?

Correct, unless all 4 tickets had already been activated earlier that day at DL.

Ok, I see. Thank you!

So if we're park hopping, we don't all need to hop to use the FP machines at the other park? If we all start the morning at CA and I send the kids back for a nap with my DH, I can go to DL and get FPs for Space Mountain to use later in the day?

Yep! Been that way for years at DLR!

Just looked at the WOC picnic ticket page and noticed there are now only 3 Adult and 2 Child options for the meals? If I recall correctly there were 4-5 adult options a couple months ago. Did they narrow the options or am I totally just imagining that?

At the risk of being overly speculative, could there be some reason they are slimming down this offering? Driving WOC traffic to CC maybe?

It's possible but the three adult meals I've ordered and the two kids meals I recall are still there.

Adults.
All American-Cold fried chicken
Taste of Asian-Salmon
Mediterranian Vegetarian-Veggie wrap.

Kids
All American-Cold fried chicken
Lunchbox Classic- Crustless PB+J

I made reservations at WCT and CCT for our trip. We'll see where we end up ... hopefully just not IN the water!

An observation from last Friday and Saturday

It took a really long time for them to distribute all of the 9pm show's FP. We wanted to see the second show. At 1pm the attendent at the FP kiosk told me they still had 700 tickets left to distribute before they would start on the 2nd show and he predicted that it would take about 2 hours.

I really expected the FPs to go fast. Kind of threw us off our "schedule" because we had to check back multiple times to make sure we go the show we wanted. Is that a seasonal thing? Maybe people are more concerned with getting their CL experience to get a WOC FP first thing in the morning? It was an overall slow weekend, so maybe it was just that?

OK, I didn't imagine it. This blog post mentioned 4 adult meals and 3 kids options: http://www.disunplugged.com/2010/06/13/world-of-color-picnics-a-special-culinary-quest/
Looks like they eliminated the European Antipasto and the Little Squirts.

Not that its all that significant of a change really. But I did wonder if its related to the opening of CCT.

i'm guessing it's because the line for FP's is not so long so people are not opting to buy the picnic in order to avoid that FP line.

Does anyone know what that FP line has been like recently? Sounds like not busy if the early show didn't sell out until later in the day. Sounds like we can pick up our WOC FP later in the day and possibly not stand in line long at all.

Over the past year I haven't waited more than 5 minutes for a WoC FP (most of the time I just walk right in), and I would assume that with everyone running over to Carsland, the WoC FP lines certainly haven't increased lately.

Can't wait to hear back from you! I have made reservation at both WCT and CCT as well. Now I am not sure which one gives the centre viewing area right before the circle. DD would like the centre splash zone (she likes getting wet...). I was thinking I would be able to view from both areas with the two reservations to have two different WOC experiences.

Thanks a million in advance!

Yeah it's definitely because of CL, and because the time when you can enter before opening you are not relegated to Condor Flats to the edge of the pier only forcing you in the area of the WoC Show Pass distribution kiosks at GRR.

In the morning so far almost everyone heads for RSR and the RSR FP distribution and waits for TSMM at opening are low now.

Can't wait to hear back from you! I have made reservation at both WCT and CCT as well.

Both restuarants give you access to the same preferred vieing area that includes the circle. Although at WCT if it's lunch you go to the blue zone.

I am visiting DL for the very first time and I just booked a WCT lunch so we would be able to get passes to WOC. With CC now doing WOC where is the viewing spot for WCT. I thought I read WCT lunch is just a FP and it's not for the preferred seating? Is this true?? I am looking to get a great viewing spot Any suggestions would b helpful.

You probably chose the wrong words but just to be clear there is no "preferred seating" for WOC. There are preferred viewing spots which are standing.

WCT lunch just gets you a normal WOC FP and no access to any preferred areas - last I heard. Don't book WCT lunch with the idea it is going to get you anything special for WOC.

The OP in this thread has a ton suggestions for a great viewing spot.

Would it be better to get the WCT dinner package then? I looked at the menu for CCR and I dont think i would like it much so I rather do the WCT. Since everything changed on June 15, I dont know if it be ok just to try the fp you get in the morning or do the dining packages. Is the blue area a good section to see WOC?
