Sometimes when I’m booking FastPasses I’m only after two and that third one doesn’t matter very much. When I was booking FastPasses for our last trip to Walt Disney World, I wanted Toy Story Midway Mania and Tower of Terror for our day in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. I got them both at exactly the times I wanted – late morning and early afternoon. We’d try to ride Rock’n Roller Coaster and Star Tours early in the morning on stand-by and have a pretty good plan. My Disney Experience randomly chose a third FastPass for me and instead of trying to change it to something else, I thought, “What the heck – Why NOT?” and kept “For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing Along Celebration” in the 2-spot for the day between Tower of Terror and Toy Story. We’d never been to the sing-along and, to be perfectly honest, I didn’t know if we’d make it or not. By the time that FastPass came due after lunch, I suspected we’d skip it in favor of something else. Fast forward…
We were having a red letter day! Seriously, considering it was two days after Christmas, we could not have enjoyed ourselves more. As planned, we arrived early for the 8:00 am park opening and found Cast Members were letting guests in by 7:45. We walked on to Rock’n’ Roller Coaster with no wait. We stopped for breakfast at Starring Rolls, strolled the Streets of America, rode Star Tours (20 minute stand-by), and saw MuppetVision 3D with no wait. Next we hopped on the Great Movie Ride before deciding we needed to see Chewbacca in the Star Wars Launch Bay (30 minute wait) – we were having a blast and it was still early! Why not relax at Beauty and the Beast-Live On Stage before our first FastPass of the day at Tower of Terror? After we got off our service elevator, we were parched and it was noon.
A beer from Min & Bills hit the spot and then we made our way to 50’s Prime Time Café for our 12:30 reservation. Lunch was excellent and, fortified for the afternoon with a carrot cake cookie from the Writer’s Stop, we decided we would indeed check out the Frozen Sing-Along. We entered the theater and took our seats in the center and toward the back – boy, was it crowded! Behind us an argument between two groups of angry moms broke out and provided some riveting pre-show entertainment. Then…show time!
The show is cute and funny and, having read reviews and watched this YouTube video, I knew what to expect. When the first song started, I was ready! I belted out the first line…Do you want to build a snowman…before I realized that virtually no one was singing along besides me. I closed my mouth and looked around…yup, silence. Weird! We did like the 30-minute show…even if at our performance at least, there was no actual singing along with the sing-along. The special effects were great! Guaranteed to please even the most casual Frozen fan, you should put this on your Studios to-do list. Probably, you don’t even need to use a FastPass like we did. If you do go, I’m dying to know if people sing along or not, so please stop back by and tell me what happens!
