Thanks for the report, we have a reservation mid august. Sure hope to see the show this year, broke two fingers in the hotel door jam last year on the way to WOC, I have not had the best of luck with this show.

Maybe this year it will work out better if you get a WOC FP but its not for the "black and blue" section...

hope they fix it in the fall lol like once the summer crowd is done.

I do hope seeing it from the cct res spots will help us see it perfectly

I was in the CCT spot last night and the view was far from perfect. I don't think it makes any difference what kind of tickets you have, you have to get there about 1.5 hours early to get a spot. Due to a wait that was longer than advertised (75 minutes at Luigi's Flying Tires instead of the 55 minutes advertised), I arrived at about 8:30. I ended up standing on some stairs just behind the big circle. I could see the tops of the fountains, but everything that was down on the water wasn't visible.

Two weeks ago we had the picnic tickets and were right down front. Best view I've every had. We were also there about an hour early.

I don't think there is such a thing as guaranteed perfect tickets. You have to get there early.

PS. Wow! I just noticed that this is my 500th post!

PPS. Also, the picture of the locations of various fast pass types at the beginning of this forum needs to be updated. It is not accurate as of today. I'm sure they keep changing things around.

Although I haven't seen this question come up, I saw WoC twice last night, once from the rear by Mickey's Wheel of Death. I was just curious to see what the show looked like from outside of the official viewing area. Well, there's a reason there are no crowds back there, the show stinks from the back. Just saying in case someone had the same question.

Thanks for the update. Now it would be nice to figure out whether CCT, WCT or just regular FP has access to the elevated rail spots and front wet zone that used to be Preferred Dining...

Does anyone know?

From reading other posts it sounds as if much of the show is quite low on the water. Do those who can't see the water from their viewing spot miss much of the show?

Does anyone know?

Earlier in the week I was in the area but didn't get any clear data from walking by but did talk to a couple CMs earlier in the day.

One of the problems with maps is the Preferred Dining Section changes everyday so maps are not accurate around that area. It depends on how many get the meals and with CCR the problem is worse. They knew how many reservations they had at AG and WCT and could leave more room for walk ins if the reservations didn't presell all the Show Passes. The walk in estimates caused the Preferred Dining Section to be too big or just right, uncrowded or full. Because the area was sized according to demand it could grow or shrink depending on the particualr day, and they didn't know the right size until dinner was over, but at that time the area was already set up.

Now that they switch AG meal packages to CCR where you don't make a package reservation, just a reservation to eat and ask for or get a suggestion for the WoC Show Passes, it's more an estimate than before.

One CM said that demand for the area is up because of CCR, another said it's up because it's Summer again. It's probably a mix of the two. The one who said it's Summer and CL is bringing more people. He said the word from CCR is not many are eating there with knowlege of the package, and the waiters are suggesting it. Many of the diners who get the tickets may not be using them.

Another observation of mine is there are nearly as many Glow in the Show hats as in the photos and videos of the trial night. I think Disney needs to sell hats with WoC Show Passes. Offer a package deal similiar to the meals.

A small part of the effects. Most of the show is high up. It's worse if there is someone standing right in front of you which was kind of the problem wbl2745 was having. That spot behind the circle is a little above but far behind other people, so it cuts off the low angle.

 

[JadeDarkstar]

How far up is the supposed cct reserved dinning from right down in front? (I was down in front and to the side a bit and didnt see as wella s Id like to have. so im hoping being higher i may see over some what.

What they need to do is make it sitting Like F is now lol
or get stadium stands and set it up

I can say that at 5'1" and second row of people back from the fence in the WCT "dry" section right next to the stairs down to the wet... I couldn't see much. What I did see of the lower section was through the phones of the people in front of me taping it.

 

[cfrith5]

Once again, after reading through tons of these posts in this thread I am still completely unsure if we should even bother trying to see this. I'd hate to waste the time if my kids can't even see it. It really stinks that there isn't a better viewing area for everyone!

I have a CCT res in July and that is exactly what they told me.

Thanks so much!

Are the prices for the WOC dining at the Carthay Circle cheaper at lunch time, then they are at dinner? I thought I heard rumor on this.

I don't know definitively, but we ate there for lunch on Thursday (it was amazing!), and the menu did not say "lunch menu" or anything like that. So I believe everything is the same price all day.

Go look at the Carthay Circle Menus Here thread. On the first page someone posted pics of the menus posted outside. There is one for dinner and one for lunch. They offer many of the same things for the same price. There were several things that weren't offered at the other.

Is it true that GCH guest get an early WoC fast pass distribution? I saw a WoC hotel flyer posted in thr DLH thread that stated this, but it also said you needed a valid "Disneyland Resort" Key. So is this for all hotel guests?

Hmmm, that was true before June 15 but I do not know if this is true anymore.

 

[Pete W.]

I only believe that is true because GCH guests are entitled to early entry and their entrance is near GRR. All FPs being distributed in this location are 'blue' so I don't believe they get a better location to view WoC. I believe it's all about how early you arrive for the show.

It's a little bit different. They don't (or didn't if this no longer happens) have to go into the park to get them - it's at a different location.

If this is still available, it must be open to all resort guests seeing as how this is the Disneyland Hotel welcome letter.

If I go have lunch at the Wine Country Tattoria to get the WOC dining package, would I have to see the first showing of the WOC? I know some are saying for the Carthay that if you have lunch there you see the first show, and if you have dinner you get the 2nd show. Is this the same for the Wine Country? I would assume it is. I just dont hear much on the WCT. Its all the buzz for Carthay. As much as I really want to try that $22 burger, I'm just not willing to pay those prices.
