Fantasmic AND Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular

[drwitz]

We will be at HS on Saturday night and I would like to see both Fantasmic and Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular. I have seen Fantasmic and would skip if it needed (or get bad seats) but we have friends with us who live in Florida and (shockingly) have never been to WDW. So I want them to see Fantasmic since in my mind it remains one of the best nighttime shows.

I have not yet seen Star Wars: AGS but I hear it is wonderful.

So my question. Is it possible to see the 9:00 showing of Fantasmic AND the 9:30 SW: AGS? Does the Fantasmic exit lead you out to Hollywood Avenue in time? What seating advice would you have for us? Have you done this yourself?

Thanks!

If there is only one Fantasmic scheduled, it's almost impossible to see Fantasmic and A Galactic Spectacular on the same night.

I noticed that on our DHS day in September, they have Fantasmic showing at 8:30 and SW showing at 8:45...pretty sur there is no way we'll see both. SW it is!

We are in the same boat. We have seen Fantastic! multiple times and it is a great show, but it will be Star Wars fireworks for us as well.

In September for our DHS day Fantasmic! is at 8 and SWAGS is at 8:15. Impossible to do both. We are definitely doing the SWAGS. They want people to $pend two days in DHS so they make it impossible to see both in one day
Maybe we'll make it back to see Fantasmic! another day (I LOVE IT) but SWAGS wins this time.

Is it possible to see F! at 9pm and the Star Wars show at 9:30?

Merging to a current thread.

A 9:00PM Fantasmic! will end at 9:29PM.

If you exit F! at about 9:23PM before the finale -which many consider to be the best part of the show- (it contains all of the great characters on the "steamboat" and the amazing close-up fireworks) then, you could speed-walk (run) to a spot with an OK view of the Star Wars fireworks.

However, leaving F! early is not why I expend so much time and effort to get INTO the F! theater early... in time to get great seats.

Park Hoppers make this moot...for the most part that is.

And you really need to be in a good position to make the most of Star Wars, so running to an adequate position for SW while missing the finale of F! is kind of like getting the mediocre version of both.

This was very helpful! I guess we won't try to do both but I will let my friends make the choice...
