Fantasmic seating?????

[weeluvdisney]

I didn';t realize this was theater type seating. Do they ever run out of room?? What then?? What time should you be there to guarantee a seat?? What is the earliest they let you get a seat?? Anything else I should know about it??

How early you need to arrive would greatly vary depending on what time of year you are visiting. If during summer or other busy periods then I would say arrive at least an hour ahead of time. I always go off season and only arrive about 10-15 min ahead of time. If there are two shows for the night the second one would generally be less crowded.

I like to sit in the front row and I've always gone in the summer (June, July or August) and arrived an hour early. I've never had a problem getitng a good front row seat. I love Fantasmic and wouldn't miss it. Like the first reply said, it depends on the time of year and if they have more than one show, but I think that with a little planning, you should be able to get the seating you want.

We were just there last night. We arrived an hour before the show began. I could not believe how full the theatre was already (probably half full). We got excellent seats in the middle section but I'm glad we didn't wait any longer.

My son and I always get there about 1 1/2 hours early. This way we can get a seat in the middle section and have a great choice. The middle section can fill in about one hour prior to the show. We always eat our dinner here as well, they have plenty of concessions.

I have only seen Fantasmic during the summer months. We always go to the Second show and have never had a problem getting a seat about an hour before the show starts. Also I have never seen it full and alot of people avoid the front row because they tell you you might get wet, but it is actually a misting and we don't mind so we always just go right in and get a seat in the from.

We have been during peak times and in off season. If off peak times I would arrive about ½ hour before the show. During peak - 1 hour before (at least) and more if you really want to be right down front and center. There really is not a bad seat in the house though, IMO. If the seats get full (and they do) there are two standing room only sections at the top of each side. While these areas are not as ideal as a seat, it's not that bad either but could be a problem for someone with little ones as they won't be able to see unless they are in the very front or have a parent who can hold them up. We stood here once because we hadn't planned on going that night but decided last minute to see it as the kids were holding out just fine. Dh and I stood and held our kids as they stood up on the fence that borders the area. (They were sititng on the stone columns but we were told they had to get down only to have three teens come right behind us and sit there anyway, blocking our view. )
