Ridiculous: Everyone is forced to stand now in the Wishes fastpass area.

I have never seen so many rational post, on any subject, in any thread on this website. Kudos!

There are so many "useless" FP+ choices out there! It stinks! P.U.

And hold it in until the end of the show.

WDW Curbs are for sitting on and tripping over. Nothing more.

And hold it in until the end of the show.

Then please go directly to the Poly Luau and be a part of the show. I'm thinking guest flame thrower.

Disney makes FP's for shows and attractions such as these for a reason. When you reserve your FP's you usually have only 3 choices. This leaves more FP's for other more popular attractions. The bad part is that all of these useless FP's make for long lines and terrible conditions at the less popular ones.

I'm almost expecting for them to add FP's to Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse and quick serve locations soon.

Sorry folks but most people just aren't considerate of others these days. For every 1 person that will sit cross legged to take up the least amount of space, there are 10 that will spread out like it's central park for an afternoon nap. For every 1 person that chooses to sit and is okay if others standing might "block" their view, there are 10 that will complain and get nasty that people need to quit being rude and sit so everyone (meaning them) can see. For every 1 family that will move to the end of a row before sitting, there is another that will stop in the middle because they want the "best seats". Too many people come to the parks with this entitlement mentality and if rules don't suit them, they just break them.

I have to laugh a little at the "why did they put grass if we aren't allowed to sit" argument. As others have said and many pictures have been posted, many people do sit and relax throughout the day. And if Disney had poured concrete in lieu of grass ... well there would be 20 more threads started about how the hub is nothing but a concrete jungle.

Yes, so true!

I and other people get more use out of the grass during non-Wishes times. It was pretty nice to have all grass when the FP+ area was over by the rose garden and sitting was more feasible, but no more.

The current areas are used by families during the day and I even laid in the grass this last weekend 30 minutes before park close and just relaxed and absorbed where I was.

Could we just ban people who hold up their phones and iPads during the fireworks shows, please?

Also: kids on your shoulders...please don't. If your kid can't see, pick him/her up, but don't put them on your shoulders.

 

[Finiamh123]

Holding up your device is one thing, but everyone needs to turn their flash/vid lights off.

The castle is already lit and over 100ft away. Your flash is meant for about up to ~10ft of distance. You only light up the back of the head of the person in front of you. Or the back of kids on shoulders

If someone wants to sit, and have a nice view of Wishes, there are many benches that can be claimed early, or a spot on a curb before/after a parade.

Um, where are you finding these benches? And if you're talking about the built-in walls, keep in mind that most of them face away from the castle.

 

[raymusiccity]

OK, the REAL reason that you are asked to stand is really quite simple...and goes unmentioned. Gas. That's right; when you sit and pass gas, it gets trapped in the fake grass thus causing either a potential meltdown of the grass (depending on recent intake) or, at the very least a large release at the end of the show when 'all rise'.
Now, if you stand and 'release' - the cloud is dispersed and there's no risk of 'fake grass gas passed' melting. Thanks in advance for your cooperation in matters of our mutual concern.

Don't even ask about Fastpass gas passed melting the fake grass.

Transitions very nicely into the real reason smoking has been banned. Too many butts would ignite thousands of butts !

No "butts" about it!

These face toward the castle.

The Japanese respect each other... South, Central, North Americans not so much. It's all about culture.

And our culture is all about who we can Usenet... Sitting would be a terrible idea

 

[lunchbox1175]

Sit or stand, I could care less, I will continue to go on rides while everyone else is enjoying the fireworks.

 

[JediMasterMatt]

Of course you need to stand during Wishes... it's the only way to see over all the construction walls at the Hub these days.

 

[BaconPancakes]

Parades and fireworks are for standing only. There's absolutely no reason someone should be sitting.

 

[BaconPancakes]

And the grass.. it obviously was made to sit on.. or they would have used cement if it was just a standing area.

Or maybe they made it grass because, I don't know, it looks better?
