The stair access from the ground floor is temporarily closed as part of the project. However, the outer staircases that lead to the second-floor viewing platform remain open for guests who want to take in views of Main Street U.S.A.

A large section of the upper balcony is walled off, although it is still possible to access the railing area for views of the park.

Update: it is now back open for the 4th of July Fireworks (I.e Celebrate America) but closes at 9:30 PM before the first Starlight performance tonight. I’m sure it still serves for public fireworks viewing for Happily Ever After.

VIP Tours. And in more recent months the balcony is also closed for fireworks viewing in my experience.

Anybody but common peasants like you and me apparently! Haha. I mentioned how they rope off the entrance to the station with no signage that the train station itself is still open and how to access it. I witnessed a family trying to get on the train who went up the exit ramp, who were scolded by a CM - the same CM who could have simply opened the gate and let them on the train - it was still boarding and there was plenty of room.

Does anyone know who the train station is reserved for during starlight? Sometimes it's even left empty.

No wonder there was so much security! They have to guard those sweaters!!! l

Yeah big VIP event, plus D'Amaro and others from word that was going around.

I know it was opening night of starlight but they had almost all entrances to the station blocked off while the train was still operating. No signage on how to get to the station. A poor family went up the exit ramp and they were scolded by a CM who could have easily let them on the train. There was plenty of room and it was still boarding.

The benches are gone. Maybe that's temporary. But, I've witnessed people camping them two hours before fireworks so they can have a seat for the show.
