Fantasmic Sat 10/4? Too crazy??

[mon8key]

Hi
My boys & I have never seen Fantasmic & would love to on our trip in early October. But I think the only day it's on is Saturday 10/4, which is Gay Days on the Disneyland side. Will it be too crazy? Even if we do the dessert package? I'm just imaging a crush of folks.
Thanks!

Not sure I understand what you are asking. If by crazy you mean "crowded", then Fantasmic is crazy every time it plays. Doing the dessert package does not change the crowds - it just lets you have a good spot in your own section. The dessert section itself is not crowded.

Thanks. We were there for One More Disney Day leap year and it was so crowded we could barely move through the walkways. That's what I'm picturing--so many people that we can barely make it to the Fantasmic viewing area! I know that sounds dramatic but the crowds we experienced leap year were insane. I'm just hoping it won't be that bad!

I was not there on that day but moving around the Fantasmic area is always tough when Fantasmic shows. It will not be easy an any day unless you plan to go to the first show and arrive by 5PM to hold your spot. But it is doable later and for second shows when they happen. But still crowded/crazy. And worth it!

Totally agree with HydroGuy. Due to where F! is, it will always seems super crowded before, during and after a show. But in my opinion F! is a must do, I would take the time to see it


Have a magical time!

There is no doubt it will be busy, but I don't expect it will be "special event busy". The Leap Year Day thing where they opened it for 24 hours, I think, drew an amazing amount of crowds - as in Christmas time crowds. This will be more like a heavier off-season weekend.

No we cannot tell you because the schedule for those dates will not be released until 4-6 weeks beforehand.

You can buy the dessert package one month ahead of time.
