Fantasmic on an EMH...a mistake?

[randbmom]

I was just comparing my touring plan with the evening EMH calendar. I am not staying onsite (unless a miracle happens with a code...) and planned on going to Fantasmic on a Sunday night (May 15) at 9PM. THis is an EMH day with evening hours. THe park closes at 9PM for general admission.
From your experience with EMH evening hours, will Fantasmic be extra crowded? I'm not interested in the dinner package, since we want to eat at Sci-Fi DIne in and the package is not available.
Just preparing myself for the worst...

Hi Randmon:
Have been to Mansfield, Ma many times. too many times all be told, but it is a wonderful town. Worked with many from Codex.
As for Fantasmic:
oh yes it will be crowded, very crowded. If you want a good seat be there at least one hour before entry time. If there is a second showing that night you may wish to see the second show as it might be less crowded.

I strongly suggest the Fantasmic Dinner Package

At least 1 hour to get in que,or reconsider getting a dinner package.

I think 45 mins before showtime will be enough to get decent seats

When there is a second showing of Fantasmic during EMH, do you need a bracelet to get into that second show? Because "technically" the park has already closed for non-Disney resort folks.

I know you need a bracelet to get on the rides after closing time, but I don't know if Fantasmic is different. I hope it is, just to even out the crowds between the two a little bit. Those of us with early bed times won't be able to see the second showing, regardless of whether we're staying on property or not!

I worked for Codex/Motorola ISG. GOOD TIMES. It's A Small World after all . . .

I've heard the 2nd showing for Fantasmic isn't as crowded as the first. To get a good seat how soon should I line up? Can DH and DS's still be riding rides while I wait in line? I probably won't mind waiting in line at the end of the day as long as DH and DS's can jump back in line with me when it's time for the show to start...any ideas??
