Fantasmic Thread!

Any tips or tricks to seeing Fantasmic without having to wait an hour? We won’t be doing a dining package (travel partner can’t eat most theme park food due to dietary restrictions) and I can’t sit on the ground nor stand for long periods. If we can’t just grab something last minute we just won’t see it.

Watch the 2nd show.

Per dining reservations, Fantasmic is scheduled for the Sunday and Monday of Memorial Day weekend (5/24 and 5/25). We will find out tomorrow if it is moving to the historical pattern of showing every night during the summer.

I highly suspect it will be daily (baring any issues) from Memorial Day to mid-August (which Disney thinks is the end of Summer & the start of Halloween season).

This was my thought as well. Where is a good place to watch without a dinning package? The only time I have watched Fantasmic since they went to first LL & then dining packages was the Premium package at Riverbelle. I am very out of the loop on this. We used to be able to walk up and watch it on the bridge and now that has become a "hot spot" so it seems.

We had no problems with seeing the 2nd show and not waiting. In fact we were too close and should've chosen a seat farther back that were widely available when we walked in.

I hope so! They used to show it on Sundays during the offseason, but they did away with that this year. I'm maybe overly pessimistic that they'll get stingy even during early-summer and wait until mid-June.

I think you're right - they will show it nightly Memorial Day-August. It attracts people to the park every day during the week to stay late.

I will plan on doing the second show. We will only have one day (a Friday) that it will be showing. The problem is I also wanted to do Fire of the Rising Moons in Galaxy's Edge. So it will definitely be a last minute walk up for Fantasmic. The standby seating is to the right of the dining packages, correct?

Back in the day when we steaked out a spot for Fantasmic we would sit on the patio at the Riverbelle. Of course this was before the dining packages. Can you sit on the patio for the second show? They only do the package for the first show.

We have only been once and we were running since we thought we were so late to line up, so I cant recall exactly where I entered. But as a DLR person I remember walking into the theater and being like whoooaaaa so many places sit, why was a running.
