Fantasmic-question about booking without package

[tami82]

I would like to see Fantasmic but not crazy about the package since the dining times are so early and dining choices not great. I just dont know what we would do with our time inbetween and having somewhat impatient DH may not work out so well.
Would it be possible to book Sci-FI at 5:45 and be able to get a seat at Fantasmic without having to worry too much about getting a seat. I read you have to get there appx 1 hour early. Has anyone done this without booking a package and had it work out just as well.

They only let you in early if you have the package. With the package, there is a section of reserved seats and an entrance just for you and you have to be there about 45 minutes early to get the seats. Personally, I like the dining choices they give you. They have good meals for the most part. I'm not sure about your plan for Sci-Fi. It might be a little late to get a good seat.

It depends on when you are going and what time F! is that night. To make sure you do get a seat you should get there between 60 and 90 mins before showtime. I also don't like the package because I don't like the dining times or restaurants either.

If you would like a safe option so that you can eat at Sci-Fi and see F!, is it possible for you to have Sci-Fi for lunch, and then stop off at a CS on your way to F! to pick up dinner? You can bring food in with you and eat in your seats while waiting for the show to start. This way you can eat at Sci-Fi, not rush your dinner and be able to get seats for F!.
