Several questions....
1: We are going down Thanksgiving week to DL/DCA and I recall them shutting down the park last year due to crowds... If you are staying at the DL hotel and have been in the park earlier in the day, are you allowed to get back in with your hopper pass?
2: Is there any preferred seating for the parades that you can buy?
3: Fantasmic Balcony seating is no longer available.. will they be moving those desserts over to the Premium seating in front of HM?
4: Any idea is the Disney Visa will continue to the meet n' greet and the free stroller rentals past 9/30/07?
5: The YOMD promotion will be ending in OCtober.. any ideas as to what the new promotion will be?

Thanks!

1. No Guarantees, but Disney tries to make sure there is enough room under the Fire Marshalls limit to allow guests to return, but if the park is full, then everyone will have to wait until enough guests leave to make room for returning guests.

5. The Year of a Million Dreams is actually the 15 months of 1.25 million prizes, so it is scheduled to end on December 31st, 2007. Strong Rumors have YOAMD, part 2 scheduled for 2008.

1: We are going down Thanksgiving week to DL/DCA and I recall them shutting down the park last year due to crowds... If you are staying at the DL hotel and have been in the park earlier in the day, are you allowed to get back in with your hopper pass?If the park hard closes, no. The park shuts down in levels. The first level is they stop selling one day passes. It progresses to where they will stop admitting new tickets (doesn't matter if you are staying on property or not. And if you have an AP, you need a handstamp for proof you have previously been in the park that day.) Then, at a certain point, the Fire Marshall closes the turnstiles to everyone. Usually it lasts an hour or 2. When the capacity drops low enough, the fire marshall will allow the turnstiles to reopen.


2: Is there any preferred seating for the parades that you can buy?You can do a VIP tour which will allow you to schedule preferred seating, or you can do a Holiday Tour which will give you parade seating. 714-781-4400 30 days prior to the day you want. Holiday tour is about $50 each person, VIP is $300 for 4 hours/10 people max.

3: Fantasmic Balcony seating is no longer available.. will they be moving those desserts over to the Premium seating in front of HM?The Premium seating will continue to have the boxed desserts until they figure out a way to do the buffet that is acceptable to the fire marshall.

4: Any idea is the Disney Visa will continue to the meet n' greet and the free stroller rentals past 9/30/07?It has renewed the last several years, I would think it would renew this year,

5: The YOMD promotion will be ending in OCtober.. any ideas as to what the new promotion will be?The YOMD promo continues thru Dec 31. Rumor has that it will be extended.
