Fireworks, Fantasmic, Paint the Night- all on the same night

[closetmickey]

Is it possible to see all three on the same night. If so, how? Please share tips! We will be there either Friday, November 6th or Saturday, November 7th. Planning to reserve RBT with the Fantasmic package.
Thanks!!

We did last night. Had a BB package and stayed put for the fireworks. They have the water screen going so you can see the projections. Not as impressive as seeing them from Main Street, but the crowd was so bad there was no way we would have made it. Afterward, DD and I hightailed it to the hub and took a spot behind two trashcans. , YMMV as the crowds really were bad last night. I even saw CMs loose their cool.

Thank you- how much time did you have between the conclusion of the fireworks until the start of the parade? I will have my 3 daughters (10, 12, 13) in tow so will need to find a parade spot for 4.

We used the same strategy a few weeks ago. We had RBT Fantasmic package. We ate there at 4:30 for an early dinner and pretty much had the place to ourselves. We both decided that it was the best meal of our trip; the food was great, but the cast members were so nice. They spent so much time talking to us since we were some of the only people there.
We got to our FP location about 15 minutes before the stated time, which was great because they were already letting people in. We got great seats right in the center. We also stayed put for the fireworks, which my 20yo daughter said she preferred over our Main Street view a few nights later. After the fireworks were over we made our way to Main Street for PTN. We found front and center seats on the curb in front of the flag pole facing the castle. We could see the parade as it entered town square to our right and as it passed us heading down Main Street towards the castle. We couldn't have asked for better seats. It made for a very magical evening!

I hope your evening is just as magical as ours was!

It's hard to say how much time you'll have for sure at this point because the entertainment schedule for November is not yet out (entertainment is often not added to the calendar until much closer to the date - under one month often). If you use today's schedule, F! is at 9:00 pm, fireworks is at 9:30 pm and PtN is at 10:45 pm. According to the DLR website, fireworks is 15 minutes long, so you'll have about an hour to find a spot for PtN (including time needed to get out of the F! viewing area).

Like everyone said, it is possible as long as they are running two parades (which they have been on weekends). I'd suggest doing 1st fan, staying put for FW, then head over for a spot for paint. Some have had success finding spots on Main Street and you may easily find a curb view depending on how busy it is but small world is usually pretty empty for the second parade and offers a great view without the stress and crowds.

Thanks everyone! Just the information I was hoping for!
