Question! I've never seen WOC and plan on seeing on my honeymoon in Sept. My question is, is it worth buying the picnic? Is there a big difference in the viewing area? I want to make sure we have a decent view 😊 Thanks for any info!
The reserved section is in the center of the viewing area. The other sections (blue/yellow) are to the sides of that area, but they still offer a good view. If you are willing to spend the money for the dining package, then go for it. But if you get a FP, get there when they open the section so you can claim your seats - BaseballMickey_CM2855.5 #16 7-28-12 3:07PMLike(1) Reply

Quick question, I get sick on rides that spin (teacups, silly swings), does Mater's Junkyard Jamboree spin like the other rides do? Has anybody gotten motion sickness from it? Thanks in advance! 😄
Kinda like the ladybug buggies, it's spins but not like tea cups. Can I give you a hint on those rides after dizziness: place your hand in front of you and focus on it, real close to your eyes and slowly you'll get your equilibrium back, helps me every time. Believe me I needed it Friday night riding tea cups with scubasteve, madam leota, madsdad...they spun that thing around, I literally thought it was gonna fly off - MarshaMouse2869.1 #15 6-17-12 6:10PMLike(1) Reply

I can't ride the teacups because I get dizzy and motion sickness easily. Mater's Junkyard doesn't spin in those tight circles so I was fine. It was sooooo much fun. It kinda swings you and the circles are very wide so I didn't get dizzy at all. It was awesome. :) - Vegan7LuvsStitch799.8 #116 6-17-12 6:38PMLike Reply

GC is my favorite... If you can't stay in a suite, then tell them you're getting married and ask for the best view possible- or you can also splurge for a non-suite on the concierge floor. The concierge floor (6th floor) provides GREAT continental breakfasts, unlimited drinks to take to the parks, and other good stuff.
