Went to US and like you could get very little info before our trip on what to do about geting on slime time live (priority for our kids - been to usf a few times before so the kids didn't mind missing a few attractions at the park for the chance of getting on the show). You do have to purchase and use a day off your park ticket since admission is required to enter the Nick area. Upon first arrival into the park, go to the studio audience center next to the lost and found (second right after you enter the park). They will tell you what time to go to the Nick area to line up for ticket distribution. They told us to go back at 2:00, which still gives you time to enjoy the park. Try to go back about 45 minutes before the time they give you. When we arrived we thought we would never get tickets because the line was so long at the queue area, however they give out tickets with a time stamped on them to report back (ours was for the last taping at 5:20, so it did give us time to go eat dinner) Slime time live goes from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m., and changes audiences every 30 minutes, so it does give alot of people the opportunity to view the show - BUT, much to my children's dissapointment, those selected to be contestants are only chosen from the first audience ( the first people to be given tickets in the queuing area - and yes, ALL of your party must be present to get a ticket - if dad and son are "in the bathroom" - even though your in line, you cannot get a ticket for them unless they are physically there). Although we were in the last taping my son and daughter did get called out of the audience and were pied on tv by the guest stars who said their names and state we lived in. Tip: have your kids make a "unique, colorful" sign to bring to the taping (we stored ours in a locker all day and picked it up right before the show - it said "NIck is #1 Sime or pie us please, with lots of colorful graphics). That was the only reason the producer picked my kids to be singled out. I know it may be silly to some to waste time on something like this, but it was the highlight of my kids vacation to be pied on tv. They told every one of their friends at home which day we were gong to try and get on the show, so all their friends saw them. We also had set our VCR at home before we left, for the day we planned to try and get on the show, so we have it all on tape - what a great memory for my kids! SORRY so long. Hope this helps.
