Glowing Ticket for Fantasmic, World of Color and Believe

[Brandon]

The glow with the show hats keep getting better!

In case you missed it on the Disneyland today facebook page, from now till jan 6 there will be a reserved glow with the show section for Fantasmic, World of Color and Believe!

I was there yesterday and the parks were near capacity but the reserved Glow section for Fantasmic only had about 15 people in it for the 1030 show. It was awesome!

" The viewing area for "Believe...In Holiday Magic" is located at the north end of Main Street, U.S.A. near Sleeping Beauty Castle. For Fantasmic!, Guests should enter the viewing area near the entrance to the Rafts on Pirates Lair on Tom Sawyer Island. Guests may enter the special viewing area starting an hour before the show time. Enjoy the shows!"

I was hesitant about buying a glow hat until now, glad they implemented this! Thanks for the news.

All this is, is an attempt to boost Glow with the Show ear sales

Do you guys think they will have a reserve viewing area for New Year's Eve for the Midnight fireworks and WOC?

I hope so.

Isn't that the smoking section? The area around there (outside of the smokig area) usually has standing room right up until show time. That's where I saw F! for the first time at OMDD, and we know how crowded that was.

Do you think DLR will have sections for normal paying tourists?

Hahaha WOW... Disney just won't give up on these hats. This is nothing more than a marketing strategy to get more people to pay for these things. Sorry... but I'm not falling for this 'glow with the show' money-making gimmick.

Can you blame them? They've already put in the effort to market them and embed them into the shows--might as well keep pushing to at least get rid of the stock they have.

While only having a few people in the section may seem awesome, it only acts as proof that these viewing areas are a waste of space. They are taking up room that the average day guest could use to view te show.

That is quite a negative outlook, why would it even matter if this is some last-ditch effort to sell glow hats? That doesn't seem like a strong reason to belittle this holiday special. It doesn't take away from anyone's enjoyment if the influx of crowds haven't already. Marketing isn't all this is. It's nice to have a place where all the glow hats can hangout, and be festive as a group, plus anyone can enjoy this feature during the holidays.

Marketing isn't all this is.

Yes it is. Disney is a business... and they will do anything to get that extra buck out of the guests pockets. It's a very simple, Business 101 strategy.

You misunderstood me.. I understand that Disney makes their decisions based on profit. Though this is more than just marketing, but an option for guests to enjoy. This is hardly as grim as some of you make it sound. So what if this is a way to earn more money? If it pleases the guests that wish to take advantage of this limited offer, so be it. It's not like you are being forced to buy the hat. If you don't like it, then don't participate. What's with the dissatisfaction from Disney fans when Disney promotes their products to make profit? What would please you? That Disney just gives up on Glow hats?

My point was simple, it is nice that Disney has this for those interested. Regardless of the obvious intention of profit, there will be people such as I, who would enjoy it.

I'm not there til 1/8. Drat!

We were at the 9 o'clock World of Color tonight right next to the Glow section. There were only about 10 (at most) people in there so about 10 minutes before the show they dropped the between us and that section. I dont know if that is typical or if they do it at the other shows but wanted to pass that on.
