Fantasmic Less Crowded Since Jingle BAM?

[Stefecatzz]

Just curious if Fantasmic has been a little less crowded since Jingle BAM? It seems they are usually schedule within 30 minutes (maybe less?) of each other so it might make it difficult to get to both? Not sure how many people are choosing Jingle BAM instead..

F! Theater holds between 7500 and 8500 guests.
J-Bam can only be seen well by about a bit more than a tenth of that.

I wouldn't think that would draw down the F! crowd by much.

We went to F! Friday night and the theater was packed.

Right now the are scheduled on top of each other on purpose. JBJB starts at 6:45, runs for 14 minutes, and then F! starts.

I have gone to F! on both EMH and non-EMH nights this week, and the theater was full both times, though EMH filled up much more quickly.


As long as there is only 1 F! showing, it will be full. Even when there are 2 showings, the first is always full. The only difference is how early you need to arrive to get a good seat

If you have the dining package, how early would you get there?

We went to the first Fantasmic tonight and it was completely packed by the time the show started. Arrived at 6 for the 7 pm show, without fastpasses, and got nice seats.

Rule-of-Thumb:
Arrive 45-60 min. before show-time, when F! shows are busy.
Do not arrive later and expect a seat, just because you have the Dining Pkg. or FP+.

I would suspect the Jingle BAM show crowds will dwindle as it's not that great.

We were at Fantasmic last Wednesday and it was packed. Still very popular show.

On Nov. 11th, my DD and DS did the 6:10 Jedi Training. After it was over around 6:35 or 6:40, we high-tailed it over to Fantasmic for our dining package seats at the 7 PM show. We entered via the FP+ line, and the theater was packed. We optimistcally set off to the center of the theater, and found great seats in the third of fourth row! YMMV.

That sounds cutting it a little too close for comfort!

Thanks for the replies.

I wasn't thinking about the amount of guests the theater holds as opposed to the amount who can view Jingle BAM.
