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.

Thank you! I will start with #1 then go from there!

A question for those who have been to WOC recently?

The op mentioned in the first post that arrivals for wait times should be as follows: 90 min for a good spot, 60 min for a shot at a good spot, 30 min for a fair spot. Do you think these times are still accurate?

I will be going on Friday night next week and there is only 1 show that night.

Thanks for your insight!

OP here - I went to WOC (with CCR preferred viewing) in August and with regular FP in November and this was as true as ever.

OK, I read the original post but not all 105 pages since then. So forgive me if this is a redundant question.

I can see where handicap areas are on the map. Looks like something in centerline area would be best. But we are a party of 14 with one person in a wheelchair and 6 of those 14 being children. Would it be best to split up and leave grandma and grandpa to watch alone in handicap, or is there a spot the kids could have a decent view with grandma/pa? Anyone with experience in this type situation?

I would split up because of the kids.

That's what I figured. Mom can do some walking but the standing and waiting for an hour to start wouldn't work. So that's probably what we will end up doing.

Hey all!

Question: is the winter/Frozen WOC still going on, and if so is there any indication for how long?

It is my understanding they switched back to the original in January.

 

[SultanPprShkr]

That is correct, no more winter dreams.. no more roller coaster lights and ferris wheel lighting additions, though it's possible they're working on a summer show that incorporates those expensive investments, and while that's going on, working on a revised regular show to include Let it Go. or maybe just wishful thinking on my end.

Let's go with that!

I thought I would share some images I had from our last California Adventure back in November.

We are taking my parents to see WoC for the first time. Last time, my husband waited in line (there 2 hours before showtime with reserved area from picnic meal) and our kids still could not see well.

If we do the WoC meal - is the reserved area still standing room only? Do we still need to arrive 90 minutes early? My parents will not last that long standing - they should be in wheelchairs but...

Any ideas? Thanks for the help...

What is the best path through the reserved area to get a place? We always stay left and go to the front holding the rail until we can no longer proceed. It works fairly well (We arrive 1:45 min early to line up). It works fairly well. I wondering what other folks do?

Yes all areas are standing only. Yes, read the OP - 90 minutes early is still recommended for one of the "slam dunk" good viewing spots.

An idea would be for your parents to come down while you guys get your spots, then they leave and find someplace else to sit down, and then return 20 minutes before the show. You and your DH would need to work together to hold the spots for your parents. You might be able to explain the situation to those around you and why they are leaving and coming back later.

When anyone leaves the WOC area they need to tell the WOC CMs they are leaving and get new FPs so they can use them when they return.

They move the paths around and last time I did this in August the path went along the right. I think there is only one path so the best path is the only path in my recent experience.

I think we will have to skip it...sadly. Thanks for the info...

I usually queue 1:45 minutes early with 4-6 people for the blue section. I never seem to get close to the wet zone.

What is the best approach to take when entering the reserved area to get a good location? I always seem to be on the rail halfway between the bridge and the splash zone if that makes sense...

 

[karenkspears]

I was wondering if we are trying the blue bridge viewing location, what time should be get in line? Still 90 mins before the show or it could be later? Also, is it a good location for 6 and 4 yrs old kids to see? Thanks.
