Hi Kenny, is there anything special going on for May 4th at Hollywood Studios? Please excuse me if you've already posted it. I may need another coffee.

No coffee needed. I haven't heard of anything special besides the star wars meals beginning

Kenny - do you think there will be any unique characters at character palooza today for the 25th anniversary?

I doubt it. It's based on Fantasmic characters.

Think I can see the fireworks while waiting for the second Fantasmic? I've never been to fireworks at the Studios and it's my arrival day so I may as well swing over there.

You'll see any of the higher level ones, why not just go to the second F! and not even have to wait?

Wonder if the crowds will be ridiculous on the 1st?! We were at MK last night & got a ton done from 6-11, I thought the crowds were great!Tonight @Epcot it was semi-crowded but not bad. Any thoughts about crowd levels on Thursday?
Also do you know of anywhere you could watch the fireworks from outside the park? We saw some of the Fantasmic fireworks tonight driving out of Epcot. Thanks!!

I would say crowds will be light in the morning for the 25th anniversary, but will pick up in the evening for the dance party and fireworks. You could see the fireworks outside security, if you don't want to enter.
