Not sure if this has been answered yet but as of a few hours ago they only had Anna.

Thank you! No one else had answered yet, and that's very helpful because we were planning on doing two late afternoon/evenings at DHS. It looks like if we wait until 3 to get there we might be out of luck with getting an Olaf band.

 

[Ferrentinos]

Me too! We'll also be there on the 21

Yay!!!

It's little things like that (the bottle of melted snow) that make Disney so magical and keep us coming back. I think people often get so wrapped up in thinking 'magic' is getting a room upgrade or getting the ADR they wanted or something tangible, but its these cute little extra themey things that no other place would even think about doing. I love it

Exactly! When the CMs said "yoohoo!" While we were there it made me smile every time. It's the small stuff that makes it fun when you take the time to notice.

Also be sure to do the photo at the bridge in te entrance to the frozen Funland. It's a magic shot with Anna and Elsa. I had no idea until I logged on last night to look at my photos. My kids flipped their kids seeing them in our photo!

I heard the "yoohoo" on one of the press videos that walked through the whole ice rink area. I thought that was SO CUTE, too!!!!! And thanks for the PP magic shot tip!

All of these little touches make me more and more excited for our "Frozen" day of fun! We decided to do an extra DHS morning non-frozen activity filled so that we can still do all of the attractions and shows there. Can't wait!!!!

So based on your comment, are you thinking they are restocking the supplies in the morning? I was really hoping to snag dresses for my girls and we are 13 days out. Good luck on your merchandise hunt!!!

I guess I was assuming since a report yesterday said all the magic bands were sold out and then the poster today said around 4:00ish there were only Anna bands left. It sounds like they restocked this morning? At least that's what I'm hoping happens. Good luck to you too!!!

I was charged right away, and we booked for August 25th, it also showed up in mydisneyexperience too.

We are booked for August 25 too! Hope we run into one another. It's me (mostly blonde mom but sone says I look more like Anna than Elsa), DS6 super blonde and tall for his age, and DGM with big hair and great personality.

At the dance party now--- in front of stage---- no seating at the dessert party is tough

I have a confirmation number for our Premium package but it is not showing up in MDE. Does anyone know how to add this?

Who the heck will be bringing their own ice skates?????
What are chances locals even have any????
What are the chances those flying will give up suitcase space and weight for them?????


Who will be wiling to schlepp them all day at DHS ????

my daughter brought her ice skates with her - we left Buffalo on Sunday morning and we plan to do the ice skating at rope drop on our DHS day next Monday.

Just left---- they did the "Goodnight Kiss" again!!!

Had a good spot for the fireworks, but for people that are planning on going--- don't stand too close up to the stage---- part of your view of the fireworks will be blocked--- even the people at the dessert party that at tables on the first few rows starting backing up when the fireworks started.

I was thinking about one of the other threads (but figured I would post a thought on this thread) --- regarding the "hype" surrounding the "Frozen" events and not really getting it---- I just wish everyone from the boards could have been at the dance party tnite--- I checked my watch--- was just about 9pm (est) when they played a "dance-mix" version of "Let It Go"--- sort of what life is all about --- never saw so many people having such a great time--- boys and girls--- young and old--- gave us the chills!!!

Every time someone posts something like this, I get so excited! I am so glad we decided to do this! Between all the Frozen stuff, having access to Stormalong Bay, and being in the MK for a day/night with EMH until 2 a.m., I think this is going to be the best trip ever!

 

[Traveliz]

I was there tonight too . We stood to the left of the stage when you are facing it and thought it was a great location. The whole
Event was great for us. There are a few minor improvements I could see but overall wow. More later as I have a long day of driving ahead of
me.

Honestly, I know "Frozen" obviously has a huge following --- ( our family admits to being "Frozen" geeks!!! --- but, honestly, I really did not think we would enjoy this event as much as we have-- we went the last 3 days. ( full day yesterday)

Tonight we did dinner at Trails End before heading to DHS for the dance party and fireworks--- on the 5th we did merch and the sing-along ( it's so good)

But it could have been any other beloved Disney movie--- it's really about bringing people together that share a common love--- to have a great time, and forget about all of your worries (we all have them!!) for a few hours-

I really think disney has really nailed this one!! Enjoy!!!

So I have read all the posts and if I am understanding correctly if we have the dining packaged booked for Fantasmic this may not work if you are going to the dessert party before the Fireworks?
We are booked for the Frozen Premium Package for August 20th, Fantasmic is at 8:30 and 10:00. I booked Hollywood and Vine for the 8:30 Fantasmic.
I am guessing that I should cancel my Fantasmic dining ADR and see if my 6 year old grand daughter makes it to the 10:00 Fantasmic?

The check-in for the Dessert Party will be at 8:00 so you will miss most of it by attending Fant @ 8:30. It really would be best not to do the Dining Package for Fant.

Thank you, that is what I figured, cancelling our Fantamic Dining ADR as we speak. We will play going to the 10:00 show by ear, I can also re-arrange another evening for Fantasmic. I know my grand-daughter will love all the Frozen activities.

How long was the Frozen parade? We have an ADR at Hollywood and Vine at 11:30 and I'm thinking about moving the ADR to noon.

When I booked the premium pkg, I asked the CM the same question. She moved my ADR from 11:35 to 1:35. After reading the posts here, I don't think the change was necessary, especially with the 15mins grace period with ADR. Now, I can't move back my ADR and stuck with a late lunch.
