53 days until our GCV adventure suggestions needed for Fantasmic and WOC?

We have a 6 4 and 2 year old and will be at Disney 5 nights. I've read and searched for Fantasmic and WOC info because I want to be sure my little people have a good time. They aren't patient so I'm considering Dessert package for first night since we'll arrive in the afternoon and I can't count on FB availability? Also considering Ariels Grotto or Carthay Circle for last night at WOC in case we haven't gotten 'good seats' and seen the show. Are these packages worth it compared to the 'free' fastpass sections? We'll be in the park at rope drop or MM/ EMH each day so I'm sure of getting a fastpass it just sounds like even these aren't that great. Input?

The Blue Bayou F! package gets you a seated section which is great for the little ones..

I like the idea of trying WOC FP first and see how it works and then try for a WOC package.

Thank you SplashMO. I'm going to reserve WoC for our last night since its a Saturday night, if we see it before and like the view. I'll cancel. We're staying at GCV but I can't imagine that view will make up for seeing it up close.

How do you know when to make reservations if show/park schedule isn't out yet? 50 days out and some times aren't available already. Thanks.

The calendar is updated closer in. Good news is that ADRs are easy to get... I would check back once a week or at the 30 day mark....
