Fantasmic Que for GAC?

[bexareaglecheryl]

I have a question about Fantasmic queing.

I am not in a wheelchair or ECV but can not stand for long periods of time. I do get a Guest Assistance Card while visiting the parks and am so thankful for it because otherwise WDW would be a sit and wait while other family members ride all the rides vacation.

During our last trip (a quick spur of the moment trip) my DH and I were at MGM and stood in the regular 'line' for about 40 minutes, but I just couldn't last any longer so we took off without seeing the show. Is there a separate line/entrance for those with a GAC not in a wheelchair?If so does it involve standing for a long time anyway or can you be seated sooner?

I have used the Dinner Package before but was trying to find out info b4 booking it again if necessary. Thanks for your answers.

They DO pull people with wheelchairs out of the regular line because wheelchair users can only sit in the back row. I don't know what they do for people with GACs, who are not using wheelchairs.
When DH and I have gone (without DD who uses a wheelchair), we have not waited in line at all. If there are 2 shows, they actually start seating for the first show at least an hour before the show is to begin. People get in line about 40 minutes to an hour before they start letting people in, but you don't need to do that. If you get into line after they have started letting people in, you can pretty much walk right in and get a seat most of the time (we have done this in July when it was very busy). Most of your time will be spent waiting in your seat. The theater actually holds between 8 and 10,000 people.

The last time we went, which was this year during Spring break, the people entering had diminished to a trickle before the show began and the top 1/3 of the fathest section was actually empty when the lights went out (the far left as you face the stage).

I don't know what your situation is, but if you do have trouble standing, you may want to consider a wheelchair or ECV.
