Originally Posted By DlandDug I also feel pretty sure there will be a lot of overnighters in Downtown Disney on June 10 through 11. In the past, they have allowed this, but no tents and no cooking. They will also define where guests may wait. I would do this-- as much for the "scene" as the show itself. It's like New Year's Eve in the Park. If you go in knowing it will be a circus, it's less likely to be frustrating.
Originally Posted By ksargen I'm hoping, whatever system they're using for this show, that it doesn't have too many bugs to work out, or loopholes to close up, as we'll be there for 5 days right after it opens. Bonus - two days of that are the early closing for Grad Night, so it'll be interesting to see how they schedule things. It's still not showing up in the main calendar, but it IS showing up as an attraction on the "My Disney" favorites lists you can put together and print.

Originally Posted By BrianStarr I'm personally going to wait on seeing it till the crowds die down a little. I can just imagine the misery of fighting thousands of people to get a perfect spot and being stuck there for hours and hours. WOC is not going anywhere, there's no rush to see it. Just my opinion.
Originally Posted By avatarmickey115 Im seeing it on the Sunday after it opens now actually...do you guys think getting there 2 hours before the park opens is too early or too late?
Originally Posted By danyoung I'll be in town July 8th through the 12th, and I'm hoping at least some of the furor will have died down to where I can get a showpass easily enough early in the morning, and then see the show with a great view that evening. We'll see. . .
