Fantasmic Package or Nemo Package? - The DIS Discussion Forums

avic77 · 11-19-2009, 06:09 PM

Fantasmic only runs 2 nights we are there and Nemo package is for show during the parade.
We are going the week BEFORE Pres/Mardi/Valentine week
I am thinking i should drop my Nemo package and do Fantasmic since it is only showing twice while we will be there. Also with Ak having shorter hours i'd hate to waste 2 of them at a table service. Plus we would miss the parade and i heard its really good.

Which one would you book if you could only do one?

Fantasmic, hands down!

Its a much better show and harder to get into since there is only 1 (sometimes 2) shows a night and only a few nights a week. Nemo shows severla times a day. I will never wait in line for F! again will only go w/ dinner package (unless it goes back to nightly showings).

We had the Fantasmic package last week and loved it! Our food was OK at Mama Melrose's (it was great to sit and relax and service was excellent) but I loved not worrying about a seat at Fantasmic. There was a separate entrance even though our server told us there wasn't. I really loved that after the show we were out of the theatre before the crowds and headed straight to the Osborne lights. I would definitely do it again! We walked into Nemo about 25 minutes before show time with no problem.

Hi

We have a fantasmic dinner package for our upcoming trip. Did you like the reserved seating area they provide? I notice it looks a little stage right on Robo's nice map. So that area lets you beat the main crowd out of the stadium too?

chwilk · 11-19-2009, 09:52 PM

The reserved seating is not the best seats in the house but they were fine for us. I was worried my 3 year old might be frightened so we sat towards the top. We exited the same way we entered which put us out further down the street than the main entrance and ahead of the crowd. There was some confusion about the separate entrance but we happen to see it and were thankful for it!

Depends.The whole crowd is 'let loose' at the same time so if you are at the top of the stands and all ready to go at the finale you would be closer to the exit than someone on the other side. But some will get up and head to the top before the show is over (many vets have it timed correctly to get out ahead of the mass) so you will encounter this small crowd as well.

FYI: if you have a stroller you will have to park it before entering the theater and will need to retreive it when leaving, this can cause alot of congestion and it would be worth leaving a few min early to avoid that, but for the most part the crowd leaving is pretty orderly and moves quickly.

We exited out of the separate entrance and our stroller was parked that way as well. We did not go down the same path as the rest of the crowd.

Fantasmic fir certain. Better show and more needed now to do the package. You will have no problem getting into Nemo

PixieDustandEeyore · 11-20-2009, 08:08 AM

I tried to get a Fantamic Packge at mam melrose and i tried over the two weeks im there (same week as you and then the week after) and they were all sold out...only had Hollywood and Vine left, so if you wante Brown Derby or Mama Melrose, you should try for nemo as the others are soldout

It's at AK and you eat Lunch at Tusker House buffet and get reserved seating at the FInding Nemo show

Cancel the Nemo package. If you really want to see it without a crowd or hassle, just go to the first show of the day and you'll be fine.

Do the Fantasmic package instead.
