I don't know if this helps you because when I first got my WoC dining ressie I wanted a lunch because it's so much cheaper.....but there was only ONE show scheduled so obviously that's the show we were going to (8:15pm). Did you already make your reservation for the dining at CC? If not, I would ask the CM at that time if you could choose which show you wanted to see.

We do have our reservations already - and like you, did lunch because it was so much cheaper in price. We decided on a late lunch to try to cover two meals and supplement with snacks. I guess I'll just have to wait and see. Like I said, it doesn't matter much, but it does help to know with our planning.

I would love for that to be the case. And yes, it would sure make things better for me.

But I looked at the list on that length and am reading it as the AP show being at 9 on 12/6.

They really need to be a lot clearer on this.

OK, I am getting a little confused because of the multiple posters and I was thinking you were 12/2. So it does appear 12/6 has AP show at 9PM. Weird. Best of luck getting it all worked out!

I have never done the WOC dining option. My son (15) and I are picky eaters. I looked at the menu and I was wondering if we could both order off of the kids menu but have them charge us more like the other restaurants do and still get our WOC fastpass? We were thinking of going to Ariel's Grotto. Has anybody done this before?

Good evening everyone! Does anyone know where I may find the prix fixe menu for Carthay Circle Restaurant for the dinner service WOC package. I've looked through several different threads but am unable to find it. TIA

Cheers!

Thank you so much Baxhappyplace ~ I appreciate your time

 

[Baxhappyplace]

I gave you the wrong kids menu, here is the correct one. I will edit my previous post.

It's cool ~ not to worry, I caught it and found the kids prix fixe menu. Again, I appreciate your effort.

Have read as much as this thread as possible, although admittedly not all 100+ pages.

I think I know the answer, but I want to clarify one thing. If my family of 4 were to get WOC FP next week on Thanksgiving, I could queue up by myself 90 minutes early, save spots for the 4 of us when we're allowed to enter and have my family return with their FP just before the show, right?

Not really. If you are tying to save some prime spot for all four of you I suspect that will be hard without ticking off those around you. There are lots of people gathered around and if you try to go to a rail and save spaces when your family is not there you are likely to get some push back as well as have a hard time maintaining those spaces until your family arrives.

WOC etiquette is the whole group enters together to get the viewing spots and then only leaves for short times to for bathroom breaks, etc.

Thank you! I'm an absolute rule follower and would never intentionally be rude. I'm glad I figured this out before I accidentally annoyed somebody.

I'm glad I read this now. I must have misunderstood. I told DH that he could take DS3 and go ride some rides while I stayed and held spots. There is no way my three year old is sitting for 90 minutes. We have reservations for the WOC lunch at Carthay Circle, and now I'm wondering if that is at all worthwhile. This is our first time to Disney with our son, so we are nervous Nellies about lots of timing things.

If you have young children like DS3 I would play it by ear. I think most folks would rather wait for the show without an energetic 3 year old next to them. You might just get your spot, hold it for awhile, talk to the people around you, and then send DS3 off if it looks like everyone is OK with it. If you ask first then folks are more likely to accommodate you if your party is gone for an hour while you hold their spots. People will understand about 3 year olds leaving. Not so much about say teenagers going off to squeeze in some more rides.

 

[beckykarstetter]

Thanks for setting my mind at ease! Well, as much as that's possible at this point. I will just have DH leave with. DS as he gets restless for short periods of time. That probably makes more sense anyway. Thank you for all your hard work on this thread, HydroGuy! It has been invaluable.

Got perfect view of WOC tonight! Right up against the gate of the second tier!

 

[BlazerFan]

The last few times we've done a WOC dinner we've gone to Wine Country. Is there a difference in the viewing area between Ariel's and Wine Country? And if so, which is better?

TIA

Yes and no. The OP addresses this question and gives advice.

HydroGuy,
I have a question regarding fast passes and I do not believe I have seen this addressed in this thread. Will I be able to get a fast pass for myself and my husband if I am alone in the park during the day of the show? I will have scanned my Annual Pass to get into the park but my husband will be attending a work conference and will not be in the park during that day (he will join me later in the early evening). I planned to take his annual pass with me to get the fast passes for both of us for WOC early in the day for that evening's show. It just occurred to me that I may not be able to get a fast pass for him if his annual pass isn't scanned to get into the park that day.

Thank you for any insight. We enjoyed WOCWD when we were there the first week of December....but neither one of us has seen the regular WOC and we are both looking forward to this the first week of March.

Tickets and passes have to be scanned to get FPs... Same goes for folks letting the rest of their party sleep in... Can't get them FPs for anything, until they come into the park.

M2PA is correct. However, I have noticed that the WOC CMs can be flexible. I would try taking your husbands AP with you and either:

1) Asking the turnstile CM to scan it for you after you explain your situation - they may say no. If they say yes you can use it to get a WOC FP

2) If the AP is not scanned, take it to the WOC FP machines and show both APs to the CM at the FP machine and explain the situation - and ask if they could give you an extra FP

If all this fails, then if there are two shows there very well may be FPs for 2nd show when your DH arrives. Have him get a WOC FP for whatever show is available. Then go to the first show - if that is your plan - and give both FPs to the CM there. They likely will not question you and allow your DH in. If they do explain the situation. I would bet 99% they will let him in with you.

Hope that helps.
