Fantasmic blacony seating and dessert?

[seobaina]

I keep hearing people talking about balcony seating, priority seating and something to do with dessert, all in connection with Fantasmic? I'm confused. Could some kind soul explain all this to me? Thanks

Sure!

We have that information right on the DIS! It's at the top of this forum under theme parks, but you can just click on the link below.

I did it and it was neat. You feel special not having to fight amongst the crowd to secure a spot. I think it is a do it at least once sort of thing. I don't feel the need to be on the balcony every time.

Thanks for the link! Is the view as good from the Premium seating (or good enough since we'd be saving money?) It looks like it's 59 pp regardless of age in the balcony, but cheaper for kids in the Premium seating?

May I have clarification on something. It's about when to book Fantasmic Dessert buffet.
Some posts on here have said book precisely 30 days in advance. Some have said one month in advance.Some even say 60 days. Your link says book Nov 10th for a Dec 10th seating (as an example). I'm still a little confused about exactly when I need to book.
We're going 24th October for 7 nights. Assuming fantasmic is on 26th/27th and/ or 28th I'd like to get in there quick for the best possible chance of having great seats.

if you are staying at one of the disneyland hotels you can prebook with vacation planning 60 days ahead and then they book it for you on the 30 day mark...if you aren't then you can book it exactly a month before

I way would preffer the Balcony. It's a smaller group and you have a great view . There is also less people to share the scrumptious deserts with.
