Fantasmic campout question

[hookem81]

If I would like to be front and center for the 9 pm fantasmic performance tonight, how long before do I need to stake out a spot for 5? Also, any other tips for F viewing? Thanks

People will start staking out front and center spots by 5 p.m. Some people claim that, depending on the crowds, you can get pretty good ground spots as late as 7 p.m., although not front and center.

Some families spread a blanket, bring a book, some food, and a cushion to sit on, and the rest of the family goes and does rides while one person holds down the spot. I would be sure to have everybody back and sitting by 8 p.m., though, because people will start crowding in on your territory and it will get very tight before the show starts.

Other people claim that you can get standing spots behind the middle light pole, which rises up in the air just before the show starts. I think a lot of people are in on this secret, though, according to some recent posters.

Good luck!

Yeah, that area is usually the first area to be claimed by campers. They start early, 5pm is right but also seems late, so as early as you are willing to sacrifice. That sacrifice would totally be worth it if the dumb dragon were operating - is it working yet? - haven't been keeping up .

Thanks for the advice. We ended up doing the 10:30 show by waiting for the 9 o'clockers to clear out. It was a lot of fun, but no, the dragon is not working yet.
