You're welcome. 1. I have worked up a few WDW maps in Photoshop. 2. I don't have that info. Anyone else?

- Begins at Sid Cahuenga's at the front of the park
- Stops at the Stage for the Royal Welcome
- Continues from the Hat to the Star Tours/JTA backstage gate

The parade enters at the gates right beside the building that says "antiques and collectibles". I took pictures. Hope to be able to post once I get photobucket straightened out. I've exceeded my picture limit

Could someone please confirm if there are Elsa dresses available in the DHS Frozen merchandise shop? I'm thinking I saw some in the photos somewhere but can't remember where. Thanks!

How about video confirmation? :

Did they have the Anna coronation dress or just the winter one?

Only the winter one

That's actually what I originally thought until I rewatched the video, because I didn't think you could see Echo Lake from Hollywood Blvd. (I was thinking it was a solid wall of stores on each side.)

You can see Min and Bill's and the lake behind it once you get past the stores. Not sure which way the sleigh heads from the Hat to Star Tours...

For anyone who has purchased and used the package. Is it really worth it? I'm rethinking the package. It seems I would be paying $245 for desserts. The seating doesn't seem like you have to wait on line for that long and the fireworks view doesn't seem to be worth it. I would have the desserts and then have to move somewhere else for a better view. I just don't want to feel like I paid for something that I can get for free. (Not the desserts) but everything else.

wdwmagic.com has posted a video of the Frozen fireworks - a clear, smoke-free view:

Enjoying the park today. As of 1030 no lines for the merchandise or ice skating although both are pretty full inside. Both Anna/Elsa dresses were available as were olaf magic bands. The only thing not available were sven plushes. We went ice skating and were surprised how much fun we had! They also had hot cocoa for sale. I ended up talking with one of the managers and she said they put the frozen funland together in about 24 hrs. For that kinda turnaround i was very impressed. The manager also mentioned they are currently talking about expanding the frozen fun until march but nothing is set in stone yet. We also just went by to pick up a ticket for the sing a long and they let us pick the show time we wanted which was awesome. We are off to catch the parade. Having a great time!!!

Thanks for the in-park update. Please come back and report more as the day goes on.

Hello

I am new here, but I figured I'd post some information to help anyone who's looking. Just got back from Purchasing All 3 available Frozen magicbands from DHS. They have them all readily in stock.

For those that have gone - did you find it was worth the $$? My 7 year old LOVES Frozen so it seemed like a no-brainer but still wondering esp since there's no meet/greet involved which is rather disappointing.

I assume you are referring to the premium package here since you mention it being "worth the $$?" I agree, it would be nice to have a M&G worked into the package, but I suppose I'll just have to keep my MK FP to take care of the actual M&G.

There has been someone asking if those that bought the package feel it was worth the money. I have not really seen a solid response yet. Wouldn't mind seeing a few package buyers who have already been chime in on this.

I haven't gone myself yet, but my take on the package so far (and I have one booked for August as of now) is that it is definitely worth it if you are going to enjoy the desserts and the alcoholic drinks at the dessert party.

Not saying it's not worth it otherwise, that depends on the person, but I think the price is what it is partly because of the alcohol.

As someone who doesn't drink, I kind of wish there was no alcohol and the price was lower!

I keep comparing it to the MK Dessert Party which was totally worth it IMO, but that was less expensive and you get a table and a pretty decent view of the fireworks. So with this you are getting the alcohol, no table, a so-so view of fireworks, but the spot for the parade and the pick of shows for the sing-a-long.

I'm sure this doesn't help at all but just thought I would share my thoughts on the value since I am still trying to decide too!

Might've been asked but do you guys see this extending past Sept 1? I'm going 9/4-9/12 and the girlfriend absolutely loves Frozen. Really hoping so.

Someone above said a CM claims they are looking at extending to March. Certainly not confirmed, of course. If it's making them money, they'll extend it.

I know it's a free event but they make money through... 1) increased guest count 2) premium package sales 3) merchandise sales

I am sure others can think of other ways.

What a HUGE resource! Thanks and bookmarked!

Same as SWW parade.

Thanks so much for answering the questions!

The parade is approx. 4 minutes.

Haven't timed the welcome.

Kristoff just made by son's day today. We stopped by dhs to see the parade before heading home. He remembered him and said something to him, while waving hello!

So this is why Disney has been hoarding the Anna & Elsa dresses.
