We were at Fantasmic about and hour and a half early, but we wanted the seats as high as possible, and they seemed to go fast!! You DO NOT want to sit close in this show, the spray of the fountains is VERY misty and we werent able to take pics or video tape until the fountains stopped. This year, we will probably get there when we get there, my 4 year old will NEVER want to wait that long- or I will hold a spot and let Daddy take her around MGM for a bit. Our favorite thing was to eat Hot Dogs last year before Fantasmic, they sold them then inside the Outside Theater.
