Ok, so say you want to see fireworks and fantasmic on the same night.

The nights in qustion the fireworks are at 9:25 and the 2nd fantasmic is at 10:30. Is it possible to see the fireworks by the castle and then make our way to fantasmic AND get a good seat for the show?

If so...how is the best way to do so? Which path to take etc?

Thanks!!
 
Yes it is possibe IF you do not want to sit up at the waters front. My opinion the best view you can have is on the bridge over Pirates of the Carribean.
 
It's possible to see both, but you may not get great seats for Fantasmic. A lot of people do leave after the fireworks, so it's always less crowded at the second showing of Fantasmic.

We often watch the fireworks from the back of the castle in Fantasyland. It's less crowded there, especially if you stand in the back near where Dumbo and Casey Jr. are. If you can find a place that's not obstructed by trees, you'll have a pretty good view of the fireworks and the castle.

If you stand in front of the castle in the central hub area, it's going to be extremely hard to move in any direction after the fireworks are over, and it will be near impossible to get to Frontierland via New Orleans Square and Adventureland. That pathway is an absolute nightmare near Fantasmic showtimes and should be avoided at all costs.

I've found the best way to get to Frontierland is from that Big Thunder Mtn. RR pass that connects Fantasyland to Frontierland. It's at the back of Fantasyland, near Casey Jr. If you're already standing there to see the fireworks, you should be able to slip right through. It'll just wind around Big Thunder and you'll come out on the back side of the Rivers of America. From there, you can just make your way as close to the front as you can.

If you only have one night to see Fantasmic, I would suggest passing on the fireworks and getting to the Rivers of America earlier to ensure good seats. The fireworks are okay, but if I had to choose, I would rather see Fantasmic.

Good luck!
 
Gosh, it really sounds like it has to be a nightmare, with people trying to leave the first fantasmic while others are trying to get seats for the second.

If the first one starts at 9:00pm, what time will it be over...I mean what time should we be over there waiting to grab a seat???

We do have more than one night to see the fireworks/fantasmic, I was just thinking if we could get them both done in one night, the other night we could ride rides while everyone else is seeing the fireworks and fantasmic.

thanks for the help!
 

The first Fantasmic get over right before the fireworks starts. You can see the fireworks from the ROA, they have the soundtrack playing in this ara as well.

I still say, get a spot on the bridge for Fantasmic and the Fireworks. Get there right before the 9:25 Fireworks and you should be able to walk right up to a great spot on the bridge.
 
Thanks!!
I will try for the bridge!!!
