When you go into the holding area before they let you in the theater, the far back side (if coming in through FP entrance - or far right side if coming in through standby entrance) is the front of the theater. We like being about 6ish rows back in the middle, so we usually enter through the second door from the front and let plenty of people go in front of us (since you’re supposed to go all the way to the end of the row). I love this show so much - it’s one of my favorite Disney attractions, and even my 11 and 14 year old sons have grown to like it!
