Fantasmic or fireworks?

[psimon]

I noticed according to the schedule, that there will be Fantasmic at 9PM, Fireworks at 9:25PM, and Fantasmic again at 10:30PM.

Any advice as to where to be for what? I realize that if I go for the 9PM Fantasmic, I most likely won't have a good spot to view the fireworks (is that correct?). If I find the perfect spot for the 9:25 fireworks, I probably won't get a good spot for Fantasmic at 10:30.

All suggestions appreciated....

Hey Paul - I wrote up our experience in August with Fireworks and Fantasmic on the same night in my recent trip report (see http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=886607 Day 2). If you see the 9:00 Fantasmic, you just cannot get to the hub for a good view of the fireworks show. We got to the hub at 8:25, got a good spot for the fireworks, and then got to NOS at 9:55PM for Fantasmic and got a really good spot down in front just a little left of center. We were a family of six. There were people there, but actually lots of room so we did not crowd anyone. A lot of folks came in there after we did, but it was still not uncomfortable when the show started. Good luck.

Just what I was looking for....

Surprised you were able to get seats that close to show time for Fantasmic.

thanks!

we just got back from DL over the weekend. I "camped out" for a spot for the 9:00 fantasmic show and then watched the fireworks right from there. We sat dead center for the show and it was a great place to watch the fireworks too. The only thing that you do not have a great view of is tinkerbell. You can see her but not as good as if you were right in front of the castle.

Is the seating for Fantasmic stadium style (like at WDW) or all at the same level?

the seating is whatyou make of it. everyone has to sit on the ground. no strollers are allowed either. If you want to keep your stroller with you and opened then you have to be in the back against the ropes they put up. Fantasmic at DL is on the Rivers of America. It is not in a stadium setting like WDW.
