Sanji's seemed like it had light crowds when I got to the park around 1 today. Definitely worth knocking out before the FFN crowd arrives

Also I had a yoshi smoothie for the first time this year. It's still heavy (especially the "whipped cream" being frosting), but to me it at least tastes more like a smoothie now compared to last year.

Are the SNW fan fest drinks/food available during the day now too?

Yes. They're available at Toadstool Cafe.

Demand is high

Is there any reason why the extra show can't be earlier, like at 7pm or 6:30?

The event doesn't start until 7:30.

So 8 PM is basically the first time you could have a show

Got my ticket for Friday the 15th!

I got two dumb ticketing question: I got friends that got the 2PM ticket. Does that include early access? If not, that would insanely petty to not include that. I think I might buy early access.

It does and would be almost hilarious if they didn't include it. Like please wait 1.5 hours to enjoy the rest of the event, lol

EA includes D&D (lines have been getting to 30-60 mins during EA, so I'd like up early for this so you can do other thing after and not waste most the time in line for this after 6)

Sailor Moon the show and meet and greet open at 6...but the meet and greet you have to wait by like 5:20 PM, so unless you really want that...skip it

Jurassic Through the Eras is open

Scooby Opens at 7 PM

HP line opens at like 7:10 PM and even if you are like a minute late to rope dropping the line it can be long, like 60 mins +, so be here around 7 PM

Lastly The One Piece characters were meeting at 7 PM

The Restaurants are open

Awesome thank you! This is super helpful.

I think my plan is going to be arrive at 6:00, line up for Potter if possible, do Scooby Doo, wait for the next possible show for One Piece, and then go from there.
