Fantasmic in January

[kelleigh1]

I know that things just aren't the same during value season with the parks closing early, etc. So I'm hoping that someone who's gone in January can answer some guestions for me.

We'd really like to see Fantasmic during our trip, and I've been thinking about doing the Fantasmic dinner package. So this leads me to a few questions.

1. Is there only one show during value season? At what time?
2. Is there a show every night?
3. Do the CM's try to work your dinner around the show? Meaning, if they know I'm looking for the Fantasmic package and the show starts at 7pm, they're not likely to schedule our dinner for 6:45pm, are they?

Thanks for any info you can give. My 90 day window for ADR's is a couple weeks away and I just want to get everything answered before I have to call.

During most of January, you get one showing per night (which can be cancelled due to rain) which occurs right about posted closing time, 7 or 8 during much of Jan. The dinner package usually gives you PS times where the last one is 2 hours before the show and that can often mean you will get something between 4 and 5 p.m.

Bob posted the link to the historical Fantasmic! times (thanks Bob). And regarding the CM's & dinner, you should mention to your server you're going to see F! and that time is an issue for you and I'm sure they can be as accomodating as they can be.

Make sure you bring your winter coat or a warm lap blanket. It can really be cold at night in January. We went the first week in February 2004. Luckily we had left our winter coats in the rental car when we got off the airplane and we had driven to Disney Studios. My darling husband trekked back out to the car to get our coats when we realized how cold it was. He also brought back some extra sweatshirts for some of our "neighbors" at Fantasmic to use.
