Tell me about....

WOC fast passes. Are they available as soon as you enter the park? If you get them first thing, are you able to get other fast passes right away or do you have to wait before getting another fast pass?

WOC is a show that's at night so i don't think it interferes with other fast passes. You'll want to get it in the morning, you'll see a big line and a sign that says "world of color fastpasses distributed here". it will give you a color of which section to be at when WOC opens. There will be signage around the lagoon and cast members to point you in the direction of the spot on your pas.s
You could also do a WOC dining package, which gives you preferred seating for WOC with your dining package. It's available at Ariel's Grotto, Wine Country Trattoria and I believe it counts with the picnic meals now as well.

WOC Fastpasses are distributed at the Grizzly River Run FP machines. There are lines, of course, but I've always sent DH over with our tickets and we've always gotten blue -- but, we are there when the gates open, too. They do not interfere with any other FP, so as soon as you get them, you could then run over to Soarin' and grab FP there, too. If you really like Soarin', you could also turn right around and jump in the standby line with minimal wait as most people enter the park that early to a) get those WOC FP and b)go over to Paradise Pier and wait for rope drop to go to TS. On another forum (DISboards, I think) the WOC expert said that to get the best viewing spots -- at the rails instead of 4-5 people behind the rail -- people begin lining up or linger around the area until CM start the queue for the Blue Zone, Yellow Zone, and Red Zone about 90 minutes before show time. Trust me, I can't wait that amount of time with 2 little ones, so we have shown up about 20 minutes before showtime and while we usually don't have the best view (we can't really see the surface of the water), but we have a great view of the water screens and can see most of the show.

We did the WOC dining package in December and LOVED it. While you do have
preferred seating it's first come first served and you will be standing the entire
time. We lined up 40 minutes early and there was already a lot of people in front
of us. The show was great but the crowds after the show not so much.

Oh and use the bathroom before you get in line.

So, is WOC standing only, no seating? (Unless you are at one of the sit down restaraunts). Wondering about the picnic lunches and if these "reserved seatings" are really standing room only.
