Fantasmic & frozen Fireworks?

[cmfitz14]

we have the Fantasmic dining package for dinner in August. Will we be able to watch the first Fantasmic show & then be able to catch the frozen fireworks, or should be try to head back to HS another night?

HS is throwing me for such a loop! I keep reading the park has limited attractions, but we are trying to accomplish all the Star Wars & frozen events/attractions. Ahhhh, slightly overwhelmed!

Thanks!

Absolutely. We did it two weeks ago. There's a decent amount of time before the show starts, and even more before the first actual firework launches.

I asked this same question a week or so back and from the answers I received I figured that if there is only one Fantasmic show that night then it really couldn't be done without leaving before Fantasmic ended or missing part of the fireworks. If you come up with a way then please let me know. This is based on Fantasmic starting at 8:30 and the Frozen Fireworks scheduled for 9:00

Unless something changed in terms of times, the Frozen show starts at 9:30, which allows for plenty of time to get there from a 9:00pm Fantasmic! showing. Also worth noting is there is at least 10-15 minutes of Olaf/Anna/Elsa stuff that goes on before the actual fireworks show.

Thanks, now that I know about the 10-15 minutes of stage stuff we will certainly try to see both on the same night now!

We walked from Fantasmic (albeit fairly quickly) to a spot close to the start of whatever DHS calls Main Street, and still made it with a good 5-10 minutes before even the non-fireworks portion of the show started. It won't be a problem. We were concerned as well, but it was a non-issue.

The Frozen fireworks are awesome! I preferred the Star Wars ones in terms of synchronization, but Frozen's had an extra bonus that Star Wars did not

Based on easywdw schedule, the first Fantasmic show will be at 9pm the night we are there. Because we have the dinner package, that's the one we'll attend. What time do the frozen fireworks start?
Also, our dinner reservation is at 535... How much time do you think we'll have to fill in between dinner & going to Fantasmic?

The schedule is showing fireworks starting at 9:30 so from what people have said the stage show will start at 9:30 and the fireworks should start about 9:45. As for the time between your dinner and Fantasmic, that would all depend on how long it takes you to eat, but I would say 2-2.5 hours. But you will also want to make sure you are at the Fantasmic stadium early to get good seats, even with your package.

If the fireworks are on time, then no, you won't. At least not without missing some. The F! show is 30 minutes, which means it won't be done until 9:30, if it starts exactly on time. The other night it was after the half hour mark when it ended. Then, the crowd when exiting that theatre is massive, you have to plan 10 minutes to exit from the theatre and walk back to the fireworks area. Also, there's a huge crowd there now to get through, thanks to the DJ dance party going on. So, if the fireworks show start on time (which they did for us, and the pre-show stuff is NOT 10-15 minutes long, more like 5-10 minutes and on the shorter end of it at that), you coould easily miss the first 10-15 minutes.

If you really want to do it, you'll basically need to sit in the very last rows so you can be the first one out and more or less run to the fireworks area.
