Chef Mickeys & Fantasmic

[Airb330]

We're seeing Fantasmic at DHS at 6:30. I know the show is ~25 minutes and it will take a few minutes longer to exit the park. Is 8pm doable? We're likely to be pretty hungry but I don't want to miss the reservation. Thanks. Worst case we keep the 8:50 reservation we already have and ride TOT one more time!

I think that is cutting it close. It might be do-able but I'm not sure I would chance it. It will take a while to get out of the Pavilion after the show and then you'll probably miss a few buses before finally getting on one for the CR. After that its another 10-15 minutes or so to reach the hotel. I would keep the 8:50 reservations and then check in early if you are there and ready. They may seat you sooner if space is available for your party size.

That's why I skip making dinnner reservation after fantasmic. Most likley you eat quick service food during the show.ater the show, you exit with ppl, watch light show, too late for any dinner reservation.

The bus after F! to get back to CR was the longest wait we had. I don't think you'd make it in time.

it's doable but agree with above posts that it may be stressfully close.

Figure the show ends around 7, 20 minutes exiting theatre and walking to the CR bus, a 10 minute wait for the bus - that puts you at around 7:30. 15 minute ride from HS to CR gets you to 7:45. Not much room for error.

I'd keep the 8:50 adr and not have the added stress of worrying about getting to dinner ruining your time at F!

Absolutely agree. Keep the 8:50 ADR. Our experience is that it takes considerably longer to leave the park after Fantasmic. The bus wait can be quite long. If by luck you made it in time, it would be very stressful. We went through a very similar scenario with Fantasmic and were late and it was very unpleasant. Give yourself the extra time.

I'll keep the 8:50 then. I think we'll try to catch TOT once rather than wait in some ridiculously long line for a bus. Lines to the MK could always be shorter as well and we could just walk. I would have loved to do 50's PTD, but with a 6:30 Fantasmic! (which was a must-do as requested by my friend), that's tough. Thanks for the replies.
