Beauty and the Beast/ Fantasmic package question

[ranthony]

Hi,

I currently have a FDP reserved on Wed. June 16th at 4:30. That was the latest time available when I booked. Now later dinner times are being released but I'm not sure if I should change my ressie.

We will be in EPCOT that morning doing FW and then having an early lunch (11:30 or so). After an afternoon rest/nap time at our hotel we plan on entering MGM for dinner and Fantasmic. Since we will be touring MGM on another morning I was only hoping to squeeze in a viewing of BATB before Fantasmic and perhaps even view the parade which is at 5:30. Although the parade would be nice it is not a priority, BATB is.

On Steve Soars site the curent times posted for BATB are:
Sunday-Thursday at 3:15, 4:30, 6:15 & 7:15pm
Friday & Saturday at 10:30am, 12:00, 1:30, 3:30 & 4:40pm

Now does anyone have any idea as to what the show times may be in mid-June? You can see my dilemma. If I change dinner to a time after the parade and BATB times are running at the times currently posted for Friday and Saturday we will miss it.

Please let me know what you think. Should I keep the time at 4:30 and forget about the parade or should I switch to perhaps 6:00 and try to squeeze in the parade before dinner and BATB after dinner? (Assuming it will be shown later in the evening when we are there.)

Oh the trials and tribulations of planning a WDW vacation!!!


TIA,
Rhonda

Could you get there in time to see the 3:15 show, or would that be too early? If I were you, I'd definitely not want to skip the parade, but I like the parades, so.... Or maybe you could eat, see the parade and make the 6:15 show of BATB?

Good luck, hope someone can help more than me!

Wow, talk about almost having the same question,

I'll be there the 10th instead of the 16th and instead of Epcot in the morning, we're doing MK, but otherwise, my questions are the same.

I am hoping BATB has an earlier start time (doing MGM morning earlier in the week) by June, but if not, I'm planning on attending our 4:30 pm FDP (H&V) and then hit the 6:15 or 7:15 BATB show and then Fantasmic. Anything else I can squeeze in will be a bonus.

That's what I'm doing, unless of course someone here has a great alternative when they answer your question.
