Fantasmic in October

[DisneyMSF]

We will be in Disney the 3rd week of October. For those of you who have been that time of year, how early do you think we would need to get in line for Fantasmic. Is Fantasmic crowded that time of year?

Thanks!!

Fantasmic is ALWAYS crowded!

Back in 2003, we got there a little over an hour early because we wanted front row center. This October, we're going to try for the same. It was VERY crowded then, and I expect the same this time (like Bob P said: it's always crowded!)

I noticed the other day that Disney has extended hours and added a second Fantasmic the week we are going to the World (October 16 -23) There will be a 7:30 and 9:00 PM showings on Sunday and Tuesday.
What will the crowd level differences be between the early and later shows? There is only 1.5 hours between the start times, so what time would you line up for the later show?
I think with extending hours and adding shows (MK too), Disney expects crowds!!! I hope it is not too crowded!!!!!!

Try for a Fantasmic PDR to cut your wait time.
