Disney's Hollywood Studios to host an opening night event to celebrate the Force Awakens

[AEfx]

Tickets went up at 8 PM - well before everyone was saying. There was ONE showing at 7 PM in 3D for Fork and Screen and every other screening was for the after party. Not much in the way of options if you don't want to pay $100….

If you want to watch it at WDW...I'm sure there will be plenty of other theaters in Orlando as well.

No, the 11PM one was fine.

No, the 11PM one was fine.

Yeah, there was a 10-something as well. I meant more specifically that all the other "first screening at 7 pm
tickets are reserved for the event.

 

[Master Yoda]

it's on sale now. But almost every time gives a error.. So have a feeling it's selling like crazy..

I wound up getting them at my local Cinemark. It seems that every other movie ticket site (AMC, Fandango and Regal) were down.

Thanks for the tip. It's a bit further away and it's not a theater I have visited, but I really like the reserved seats. No need to show up super early.

Exactly. Hanging out 8 hours prior to the show for Episodes 1-3 was kind of fun, but I like the idea of being able to show up an hour before show time and calmly walk to my favorite seats in the theater.

Anyone actually able to buy tix through AMC? We've had tickets in our cart for 2 hours now but haven't been able to check out.

I have only been able to get to the "get tickets" screen then after clicking it just freezes or slows down incredibly before getting an error. I've been at it for a bit more than an hour.

Disney Springs has 11PM ETX available right now.

What is ETX?

Thanks! Good to know it isn't only us.

I have tix in my cart for the 11:00 show and my buddy has tix for the party but neither of us have been able to check out.

 

[Ignohippo]

What is ETX?

AMC's new IMAX substitute. I believe Disney Springs was the first to get it.

Yeah, but you can't check out.

I was able to get tickets, I got them shortly after they went on sale. Most websites are overloaded with everyone trying to buy tickets.

Through AMC?!

 

[YodaMan]

Through AMC?!

I bought AMC tickets through Fandango before the craze began (just not for Disney Springs).

 

[Ignohippo]

Every showing Thursday night includes the after party at Hollywood Studios.

That is absolutely 100% not true.

 

[Sparky359621]

Through AMC?!

Yes. It was at 7:05 central time.

That is absolutely 100% not true.

Yea, I realized that now, the page where I got the tickets was exclusively for the event. It doesn't make sense that 10 PM and later shows would be able to go to the party since they would get out no earlier than 12:15 and the fireworks are at 12:45 and it ends at 2.

Dolby ETX sound.

Care to share your confirmation email? I haven't seen or heard of anyone else being able to get tix for Disney Springs through the AMC website.
