3/4 -- Fantasmic and Star Wars Fireworks

[Pdollar88]

Hello again all! Obsessive planning continues.

TouringPlans seems to think that I can do both Fantasmic and Star Wars Fireworks in one night. I would really love to be able to do this. If Fantasmic starts at 7 on that Sunday, 3/4, and Star Wars starts at 8 -- will I have just enough time to get from the F! theatre to in front of the Chinese Theatre?

I'm not looking for optimal seats, just good enough to view Star Wars fireworks.

Thanks!

If Fantasmic starts at 7... and Star Wars starts at 8 -- will I have just enough time to get from the F! theatre to in front of the Chinese Theatre?

If (IF) those times are accurate and remain unchanged, then yes.
F! will end at 7:30.
You will be among thousands and thousands of guests attempting to do the same thing, however.
Be sure to sit in a upper row of the F! theater,
close to one of the two exits (#1 and #11 on the map below.)

Arrows indicate the center of the seating.
Shaded areas:
(First or Only F! performance of the evening)
Cyan= Standby (walk-in) seating
Red= Dining Package Reserved
Blue= FP+ Reserved
Purple= Can be either FP+ or Dining Package Reserved, depending on needs.

Below is a map of the viewing areas for Star Wars fireworks.

Are you guessing at the times for F! and SWS or do you have a source? If they are an hour apart, that would be a change for Disney as they usually schedule them at a half hour apart, making it virtually impossible to do both on the same night.

After December 16, they are scheduled 2 hours apart, the overlap is Fantasmic / Jingle Bell, Jingle Bam.
So it seems they may be changing some things...

I doubt it. They did something similar last year when they added JBJB for the Christmas season AND also did SWS. You still have to choose between F! and JBJB, but SWS can be done with either.

New Year's Eve, you can actually do all three, but starting Jan 1, F! is the only thing on the schedule right now. Fully expect them to put SWS back at 7:30 to divide the crowds.
