World of Color Superthread

Anyone have an idea of what time of day FP's are gone?

I'm wondering the same thing. We're going during Gay Days weekend (though trying WOC on DL day to avoid some of the crowds) so I know FPs will likely go fast.

Also, if we want to be in the yellow section, when do we get FPs? If you show up at the machine, does it tell you what color it is currently distributing? Or just ask the CM?

Our flight arrives on Tues. Oct.14th @ 2pm so we are hoping to make it to DCA between 4-5. I believe there is a MHP going on this night as well. Will we be out of luck for a FP?

Hard to say, but if there is only one show that night like recently then I doubt there will be FPs at 4PM.

I just saw WOC for the first time on Sunday 8/31 and had the dining pkg with Wine Country. I got on the end of a pretty long line of diners around 8:40, maybe even a little later. I meant to be earlier, but the single rider line on RSR took much longer than anticipated.

I started to get nervous when they let us into the reserved area. It looked like it was already packed, and the line was moving slow like the people in front of me had no where to go :confused3 However, once I got further down I saw that the 2 center areas were mostly empty. People were along the railing, but I could be right behind them and still probably see fine since they weren't packed in yet. I walked all the way to the opposite side of the area to the stairs and saw that they were completely empty. Apparently, everyone thought they were off limits. I staked out a spot at the top right on the corner so there was nothing in front of me and I was the only one there for quite some time! I think I was right by the "g" in "Reserved Viewing" in the center of the map. It ended up being almost the perfect spot. I had an unobstructed view of the entire show except for the very right, but that was fine.

My view :) Some people had left by this point since the show was over.

I also want to add that people were absolutely packed like sardines into the end of the blue section near the Wet Zone. They literally could not move and were pressed up against the ropes. These people were already like 10 ft back from the railing and would not see anything! Right before the show started, an older gentleman had to be taken out because it appeared he either fainted, or was about to. They sat him down right in front/below me in the clear area and he was alert, but not doing so well. Do yourself a favor, and either get there very early for an excellent spot, or take a so-so spot in the back if necessary.

We had very good luck with our WCT fast passes for WOC. On our July trip, we were able to sit with our legs stretched out until just before the show started. Not too many people at all, and my little ones didn't get squished against the railing. :thumbsup2 When we did the CC fast passes the year before, I had to play blocker to keep them from getting stepped on. :furious:
 

They were running 'tests' after the park had closed this past weekend. I couldn't get a good view of the water screens, but the segments they were running had a lot of 'icy blue' color to them.

:lmao: I'm SHOCKED! :rotfl:
 
My plan for WOC is to see it our second day, which is also our early admission at DL. I would like to take everyone's tickets over to DCA when it opens to get FP for WOC and RSR, while they stay at DL. Is that possible? Does it make a diff. if everyone entered DCA on our first day at the parks?

Thanks in advance for any help with this!
 
We have a WOC dinner booked at Ariel's. I wasn't sure which reserved viewing area we will be directed to. Will we be sent to the Wine Country circle down front or the Carthay row in the back?

It is possible. But I would not do that. I would wait a couple hours until after DCA opened. I suspect it would be best for you to get RSR FPs for a late afternoon window so you can ride that and then have time to queue up for WOC. If you get an RSR FP when DCA opens the window will be in the morning. That would work if you wanted your whole crew to come over to DCA in the morning and stay there. Otherwise, go to DCA later.

No.

When we did AG/WOC in August they did not direct us anywhere. But no matter where they try to direct you, you should go to the spot you want to go to.

Does anyone know if the lunch and dinner Wine Country package have the same viewing area? I currently have lunch scheduled for November and trying to decide if I should move it to dinner.

I don't know if they are different, but I did lunch and had a perfect view! I got there about 45 mins early I think. Assuming the viewing area is the same, I would go all the way to the left of the second railing (so not water level, but the next one up) and stand at the top of the stairs.

Thanks for the info, I guess I'll keep my lunch reservations after all.
 
Does anyone know if World of Color will be receiving any sort of upgrades coming up? I know they change it to the Winter Dreams version at Christmastime, but I'm wondering if they will be changing the normal show any time soon...? Maybe adding some new sequences or taking some out?

Rumor is it will get a big overhaul for the 60th anniversary next year.

All reservations go to the same basic area as described in the OP. I have never heard of a difference but if there is it should not matter because you should always tell the OP where you want to go - to the front rails is always my advice.
