Anyone experience Fantasmic last night, Sunday march 9th?

We are planning our next trip for spring break next year. I am wondering how crowded it was last night at F!. if we walk up at 30 min before show time, could a family of 6 be able to find seats together? On our last 2 trips we did the F! Dinner package and it was great for us but I am trying to cut come costs. I would really appreciate some first hand info from last night. Thank you.

We went. They had 2 shows. One at 8:30 and one at 10. We walked right in at 7:30 and went right to the front row a little on the left of where everything is roped off for dining people. It's the best spot we ever had. We brought sandwiches and chips and pop. The time whizzed by.

We were at the 10pm show. There was PLENTY of space. We were surprised because they were announcing after the 8:30 show had started that it was full to capacity.

We've found that because of the splash factor, the front 2-3 rows are almost always open at 30 minutes out. If you don't care about getting a little damp, you're probably in good shape.

What time do they typically open the theater for the first show? I have no problem waiting but prefer to be sitting. =) Happy to bring food in and eat while we wait too. I have only been to the 2nd show though and seems like they don't let you in til maybe 1/2 hour before it starts....assuming b/c they are clearing the place out from the first show. Not fun to be sandwiched b/t everyone.

They begin allowing guests in an hour before the showtime.

Thank you all for the great tips. We have a 4 and a 6 year old so we will do the 8:30 show. I love the idea of going in one hour before show time and bringing in a little picnic dinner to help pass the time. I think that could be a very nice evening indeed! Thanks again, love this board!
