But
1. people with trips starting before yours would've already been able to book for that day. However,
2. I doubt that you would need a FP for the second showing of Fantasmic.
1. Agreed.
2. Agreed.
HOWEVER...
It is very likely that you WILL be able to book a FP+ for F! well in advance of your arrival.
Just check back in a day or two.
ON THE OTHER HAND...
There is a very good chance that you can get a FP+ for F! as a 4th or 5th or 6th FP+ of the day
on the DAY-OF because they
issue SO MANY of them (enough to cover nearly the entire left half of the seating.)
On many nights, it is possible that you can gat a FP+ for F! as you are walking to the theater.
As to when to arrive at the theater, on
busy nights, I'd get to there 45-60 minutes before the show-time.
Even with a FP or Dining Pkg. reservation, don't wait too late.
On
busy nights, the CMs can stop holding the reserved sections within 20-30 minutes before show-time,
and turn over any available seats to waiting walk-in guests.
There is sometimes a "pre-show" (such as it is) that can help pass the last 30 minutes before show time.
