For the Hoopla, I saw it each day last weekend and did it 3 different ways. Friday, we showed up around 630pm and were already a good 10 "rows" back from the stage, didn't think it would be a problem but when the show started up went the cell phones and cameras and as I am a Jawa (short) I could see SOME action but ended up watching a lot of it through peoples viewfinders (not fun). Saturday, I decided to watch it via the AI jumbo screen, showed up around 7pm got a seat by the picnic tables, was a more relaxing way to watch it but you do miss all the energy and excitement of the live show, plus the feed wasn't the best, audio cut out 5 minutes into the beginning and they kept flashing images from the main show big screen and it interfered with the actual show, missed some key elements of the dancing. Sunday, decided to just camp out, got there around 530pm, threw down a towel and had a good sit, we were in the second row on the right side facing the stage. DJ Elliot was awesome, playing some great music and there was a good group dancing which was entertaining. Yes, it was a long wait for the show but getting to see it so close was fantastic. I am already contemplating camping out for this Sunday's Hoopla. Hope some (or any) of this info helps in your planning! Enjoy your SWW, I just love it!
