    Main Street Electrical Parade viewing areas - "Central Plaza Viewing" questions

    Hi! sorry, since we have been back from vacation I have not been checking. My daughter was actually dancing in the pre-parade, to begin at 8:30, so we (being that kind of parents!) got to our spot at around 7:00. Shortly after, they began putting up the ropes and told us that we were in the...

    Monorail system to operate on new timetable to accommodate automation work

    We just returned from our trip last week, and I have to say, we had no problems with the monorail in the evenings, and we stayed at Epcot until after the fireworks. We did not take the monorail in the mornings. Instead we walked to the Magic Kingdom and took a cab the one morning we needed to...

    Monorail system to operate on new timetable to accommodate automation work

    Interestingly enough, we just received a phone call from Cinderella's Royal Table regarding our am breakfast reservation, advising us of the change in monorail hours and to let us know to adjust our plans accordingly. Too bad the hotel could not have been as proactive, but at least those with...

    Monorail system to operate on new timetable to accommodate automation work

    They must have just hung up with me! Sorry, but after I spent 45 on hold to get a Guest Relations CM to help (the first CM couldn't even find my info without struggle, so I asked for a supervisor and was sent to GR), to be told they had no idea and then put you on hold another 19 minutes to find...

    Monorail system to operate on new timetable to accommodate automation work

    The last time we stayed there it was about a 15 minute walk. Of course, while we are by no means athletic, we are in reasonably good health and are capable of doing so. Not all guests are, and they will have to take a bus to the MK.

    Monorail system to operate on new timetable to accommodate automation work

    Yes, I will walk most days, but it would be nice not to have to. And remember those at the GF or the Poly don't have that option. Also, anyone trying to get to Epcot via monorail now has to wait until park opening to even begin their journey, if they want to take the monorail, making them late...

    Monorail system to operate on new timetable to accommodate automation work

    Within the next week, so I cannot really change any plans, nor do I want to at this late date. It was enough to make them in the first place. I spoke with 3 CM's, at least 2 of which admitted not knowing. How a CM can tell you that this is better, when you will miss park opening, is just...

    Monorail system to operate on new timetable to accommodate automation work

    On my last phone call with a hotel cast member (after my first hour phone call a few days before, when the information that I requested be sent to me wasn't, and I had to call back), she actually told me that I most likely wouldn't even notice the change in hours. I assured her that I would...

    Monorail system to operate on new timetable to accommodate automation work

    Accept that I have been checking the sites and that is how I found out about the change in hours. When I called guest services to confirm and question it, they had no idea and a day later I received an email from Disney regarding my vacation and it lists the monorail as my first amenity, with...

    Monorail system to operate on new timetable to accommodate automation work

    Except that they haven't notified guest yet. I heard about it here and when I called, the rep didn't know. I also received 2 confirmations this weekend and there was no mention of it. Only when guest arrive will they find out and then they will scramble to make alternate plans to wake up...

    Monorail system to operate on new timetable to accommodate automation work

    I am staying at the CR shortly and booked this hotel for the ease of transport to the MK and Epcot via the monorail. I paid a premium for this service and today I received an email from Disney telling me about the hotel and the first amenity listed was the monorail. Well, this past Friday I...

    I did pre-order, but now my husband was huffing that he doesn't know what he wants to eat in 3 weeks. Can we change when we get there?

    Main Street Electrical Parade FP viewing spot question - Central Plaza Viewing

    the last time we were there (6 years ago), we easily got seats in the front right on the rope in Frontier Land. We did arrive early, but we had a terrific view. This time around, with my daughter dancing in the parade, it is important that we are sure to get a good spot, hence the fast pass...

    Main Street Electrical Parade FP viewing spot question - Central Plaza Viewing

    Thanks for the visual! Ok, so here is a quick question. What direction does the Main Street Electrical Parade run? Does it start in the back of the park over in Frontier and go towards Main Street, or does it start in the front on Main street and work its way backwards to Frontier Land? The...

    Main Street Electrical Parade FP viewing spot question - Central Plaza Viewing

    Thank you! So, if I am reading your reply correctly, we are not on the Castle side of the 'street', but rather on the opposite side, in the center hub where the Walt Disney/Mickey statue is? The information balloon on the map has us on the other side of the street. While a Castle facing view...

    hi! I was just able to get a FP for the MS Electrical Parade. I get "central plaza viewing", and the description is "preferred viewing in front of Cinderella's Castle". According to the Map, it seems to be at the top of the plaza, just behind and across the street from the Walt Disney/Mickey...

    does anyone know what time/day of the week they release new dates for BOG FP? I am currently, and have been able for the last few days, to get a FP for the first part of my trip - Thursday thru Saturday, but cannot get a FP selection for the next day, Sunday thru Wednesday. I keep trying, and...

    Travel Time between Hollywood Studios and Epcot, via boat

    I did see that it was on the opposite side. I think it would still be better to walk around (or time permitting, a boat across the lagoon) than to take the bus from HS to the main entrance and then cut across Future World. Definitely will plan on walking all the way from HS to EP, or if the...
