Excited to go back and take advantage of the lounge. In 2013 I noticed they had wristbands for Eat to the Beat concerts. Not sure if that allowed for special seating or to skip the line. Now I hear they will have wristbands for special Illuminations viewing. I wonder if they will also so the concert or just Illuminations.

I'm confused. In the article you refer to just "Chase Members" and then specifically "Disney Visa Cardmembers." Is the lounge open to any Chase card holder but the special events are limited to the Chase Disney card specifically? I have a Chase card but it's not Disney, which is why I'm trying to clarify. Thanks!
Yes that's right.

Last year we were able to get wristbands for reserved viewing of Illuminations (viewing area was near Italy). I believe these are available daily.
I did inquire about Eat to the Beat, and I was told there is a reserved section for that but it wasn't every night. Unfortunately, I can't remember which nights they did this.

I considered the Disney Visa offerings, but the only one available on a date I'd be there was the "behind the scenes" of Party. While potentially interesting, I ultimately decided to prioritize other things. Pretty excited that I managed to get everything on my wish-list!!
Also, as far as I can tell, the priority seating areas for Eat are available only to those who purchase either the "Discovery Sampler Package" or Cat 1/2 Party tickets. Unless these areas are also available FP+?

No Terra and no vegetarian haggis. I'm a sad vegetarian. 
Guess I will have to eat twice as many desserts.

The problem isn't the eating, it's indulging in a few cocktails while you walk to the next booth. No wonder I spend so many days at F&W to see every booth.

I'm glad Big Bad Voodoo Daddy is returning. They are always outstanding!

I have to ask, and please, don't think I'm knocking vegetarianism or anything of the kind, but if (though I'm sure I'll be told if incorrect) 4 main ingredients of haggis are stomach, liver, heart and tongue. If all 4 are to be replaced by non meat options, why call it haggis at all?No Terra and no vegetarian haggis. I'm a sad vegetarian.
Myself, as a carnivore, would still take your option of twice as many deserts if they offered traditional haggis though.

Booked the Brews, Breakfast and More event for Sept 28! Can't wait to try it out, even though beer for breakfast sounds a little weird

I'll be there starting on November 9th which means this guy gets to see Hanson! But seriously, the merch for F&W looks cool this year. I didn't budget for it but I'll have to figure it out.
I have a Disney Visa and called to book the premium package today. One lady said its the same package as last year, same $199 price. I called back later to book it but was told I couldn't book it yet and to call back on the 30th

They do have traditional haggis this year, so I'm guessing you won't be anywhere near the Scotland booth?
I'm a vegetarian most of the time; I excuse myself sometimes for cultural purposes (hardcore vegetarians may criticize me, but my life my choices). My Scottish friends all talk about how delicious haggis is, so I'm really tempted...even though it sounds revolting.

Is the special viewing for Illuminations through FP+ or something else? If something else, how do we get it?
It is not related to FP+. In previous years, early arrivals at the Chase Lounge were given a wrist band for a special viewing area. The numbers are limited.
