1st time Fantasmic! + baby and toddler

[AuntieKels]

Hello,

This isn't our first trip to Disneyland but it's our first time trying to see Fantasmic! It will be 2 adults with a 1yo and 4yo in a double stroller. I'm not really sure the best plan of attack as I've never paid attention to how the seating/standing goes. Can we bring the stroller? Will be end up standing? Is there a space we should aim for?

Is it like WoC were we can get a fast pass easy enough then arrive early to herd into the space or should we do the dining option? Would the dining option make it easier on us?

Thanks for all the help!

I have 2 & 3 yo’s Just a heads up that you may not want to do a dining package in case you need to get home early. Ours can’t stay up that late for shows. Falling asleep in stroller doesn’t happen but if it did the transition to bed would be too much for us. I usually get DH to watch the kids and go to a Show with my fam. Lol

This happened to me once... total bummer but at least it was just an Aladdin's Oasis to go meal and I really enjoyed my meal so at least there was that.

I believe you cannot bring the stroller into the viewing area. This was the case this summer at least. There was a stroller parking area. We took a long midday break on our Fantasmic day so my 4-year-old could take a big nap, so she was able to stay awake for the show without any issues.

We did fantastic with our 1yo and 4yo this September. I worried about the 1yo crashing early so did a dining package on our arrival day. This worked for us because we drove from Northern Ca and he took a good nap on the way to DLR so i wasn’t as worried that he couldn’t stay up.
We had a double stroller too and had to park it then sit on the ground. The dining package was definitely worth it to avoid having to stand and hold the 1yo.
I didn’t notice any strollers in the FP viewing areas. They were mostly standing only.

With regards to FP, the most recent reports I read had they running out within the first 2-2.5 hours of the day, so make sure to head there early (especially if it’s a two show evening and you wanted FPs for the first show).

When I did the F! Dining Package back in late-September, they did allow guests to bring strollers into the dining package viewing area, but they had to remain in the back row (along with the wheel chairs and ECVs). Most guests in the back row looked like they were standing, everyone else was seated in the area.

Thanks everyone. I also I didn't realize it will only run 1 night that we're there so I think we'll heed your warnings and just get a regular FP and see how the day goes.
