Do we stay or do we go?

[Canuckgirl78]

This may be a rookie question but we're heading to MK on Dec 20, a non-MVMCP day. A Frozen Holiday Wish is scheduled to play at 7:30pm, Once Upon A Time is at 8:30pm, and HEA at 9pm. Our plan is to arrive around 6:45pm to get a good spot, but I'm wondering, can we stay in our spots until HEA or will CMs usher us out to free up the Hub/Main St.?

We'll have our 2yo DD and 5yo DS, and a stroller (on that note, do we have to park our stroller before these shows, or do we bring it with us? Not sure what's stroller etiquette in this situation!).

I've heard we should arrive at each show at least 45 mins before to get a good spot, so I'm thinking we just arrive for FHW and stay put. My plan was if we could wait so we wouldn't lose our spot, I would let them sit in the stroller, my DH stays with them, and I would go get a treat for them between FHW & OUAT to keep them happy.

Can we do that? Is it ridiculous to do this?

Thank you!

If you want to you can definitely camp out in one place and do nothing else for the entirety of all of those shows. Just be on the lookout for anywhere they may rope off for handicap viewing areas, since they might be different for different shows.

But my bit of advice: I'd move between Frozen Holiday Wish and the rest of them.
While being on the Castle half of the central Hub gives the best view of Holiday Wish, it's much too close (in my opinion) for either the projection show or the fireworks. The Castle itself will block some of your view of the fireworks, and being up close means that you may not get the best overall view of the projections.

So what I'd suggest is to find a good spot for Holiday Wish near the castle, and then after it's over and the crowds have dispersed a bit to move and find a new spot somewhere between the center of the Hub and the Main Street buildings.

Thanks! I don't think we'll get too close for A Holiday Wish as I don't think my kids will care so much about seeing Anna & Elsa, but will instead want to see the castle transform. But as long as we can "camp out" near the hub and one of us can leave to pick up snacks for tre kids, I think we'll be ok. Cramped but ok!
