Has anyone been to Fantasmic recently? I am wondering if the show "sells out" these days. In other words, if I don't care where I sit but just want to be in the theater do I have to be there really early or is it possible to just straggle in just before showtime. For reference, I am thinking about a late July Thursday night with no EMH.
Current Fantasmic Crowds
- Thread starter jonoma
- Start date
We went last night and the Guests that came in right at showtime had to sit in the "overflow" bleachers,but they did have a seat there.
The thing you have to remember about July is The 15s "factor"-lots and lots of 15s were there last night-probably about 30 % of the crowd..

Usually teenagers, whether celebrating their quinceaneras (15th birthdays) or members of cheer squads, or anything involving teens. There are times of the year when there seem to be a lot of them, which can result in more crowds than usual.
The 15s are Tour Groups of South American girls celebrating their 15th Birthday.
They are FAMOUS for their matching Backpacks and shirts and for their LARGE numbers!
Most are given the choice of a LARGE party at home or a trip to WDW(some will also go to NYC and Miami and Bahamas)and,in addition to WDW,most will also go to Universal,Sea World,Busch Gardens,etc.
Some will also have Private Parties(some with South American entertainers)as well as Quinceanera celebrations in World ShowPlace.
The largest numbers,BY FAR,are from Brazil and Argentina with smaller numbers from Uruguay,Paraguay,Chile,Venezuela,etc.
It is VERY interesting when Brazil and Argentina encounter each other-they DO NOT like each other-mainly because of Soccer.
Their rivalry is like Alabama v. Auburn or Ohio State v. Michigan on STEROIDS!
The "main" months for the migration of The 15s are July for their Winter Break and January/February for their Summer Break.
I am very familiar with The 15s as we go every July for my Birthday and,for the most part,they are really nice young ladies,but they can get "out of hand" at times!lol
They now use Private Buses alot and that has helped greatly as has the introduction of the Super Greeters in the Summer.
I present to you the LEGENDARY PHENOMENON KNOWN AS THE 15s!lol
