Last year, we were allowed to remain in our Riverside seats in order to watch the fireworks. I have to say though, I don't think it was the best vantage point to see them. It's a little difficult to see Tinkerbell fly. She's mostly just a green flash going by.

You may be paying $59, but you shouldn't think of it as $59 for a box of cookies. You will also be sitting in a very nice area, you will be able to take in the show from a comfortable chair and you won't have to sit on the ground for hours before the show just to have a good spot. I arrived about an hour before the show, checked in, picked out my seats, went and had a bite to eat and arrived back just prior to show time. Not only that, the cast members made a big deal about my DD's birthday and about 300 people sitting nearby joined in the singing of Happy Birthday to hear and a few other Riverside seating guests celebrating their birthdays and special occassions!

It was a fun evening!

If you have reservations for the seating why do you need to arrive so early? and If you do arrive early you can save your seats and get something to eat or walk around etc..??? We will be booking this in 26 days from now haha.. and think this will be great with having a 3.5 year old that wont want to sit in one place for hours before hand.

About an hour before the show, you need to simply check in, so they know you are there! You pick out the seats where you'd like to sit and you can go on about your business until just before the show. You pick up your tickets at Guest Services in the morning, but you just need to check in at the podium near the Riverside seating area about an hour prior to the show.

It's a formality just to say, yep I'm here and this is where I'd like to sit. You then can go and do what you want until just before Fantasmic begins. I think they like you to be back about 15 minutes beforehand so they can take your drink orders and then will not have to walk in front of you so much during the event.

You need to call no sooner and you shouldn't call any later than 30 days in advance. The tickets go really fast and they will not let you book them before your 30 days, you can take a chance and book after but most likely you won't get any seats because they go fast depending on when you are going. You need to call Disney Dining (priority seating) # (714) 781-3463.


Good luck, my family loves this and always try to do this when we go.

Just a tip for 3.5 year olds. We took our oldest at four and she was scared of the noise and some of the characters . If she is new to it maybe tell her a little about it before and bring ear plugs. Nothing more disappointing for a parent and child when you are hopping for magic and you get crying and I want to leave. On a positive note my youngest has loved it since the first time she saw it at two.

Have a great time.

The direct number to Tickets & Reservations is (714) 781-4400. Its easier than calling Disney Dining.
