I had a Fantasmic Pkg booked last year but the 2nd week of October. We lined up on our first DHS day and made it to the 2nd show during the first week in October. I think we lined up about an hour -45 min early.
My niece wanted to see the show again so I kept the Fantasmic DP and we went again the following week.
I book it more because it's just the two of us and I would hate lining up in a really long line and then get in and seated and then she has to go to the washroom, thus loosing our seats.
