Getting from B&TB stage show to Fantasmic in time---please help me

[slickpoetry]

We have the Fantasmic dining package. The Fantasmic show is at 7.

Can I attend the 6 PM show of Beauty & The Beast and make it into Fantasmic in time?


How early would you recommend lining up for Fantasmic if we have the dining package?

If it helps any, there ARE two Fantasmic shows that night, but it is MLK day so it will be a busy day in the parks.

The stage show generally runs 30 minutes. So in theory you would be fine. However, I have seen them open up the reserved seating at fantasmic closer to show time for stand by guests, especially on very busy nights. You should not in theory have much issue as the two attractions are so close to one another. . You can also ask your server if they will be doing any dining tickets for the second show of fantasmic, if that fits your touring plans as well.

Dining Plan people don't have to line up for Fantasmic. The gates open one hour before Fantasmic begins and if you enter 30-45 minutes before showtime, you'll find good seats in the Dining Area.

But as PP said, they WILL open up all seating to everyone at some point, and if you're not in the theater, you could be out of luck even with F! dining pkg vouchers.

OP, I wouldn't chance it. You would have to sit at the very top of the B&TB theater, so you could be out of there as soon as the show ended, and then hoof it over to F! and even with that, you're probably at 20 min before show time. IMHO, that's too close, and your choice of seats could be VERY limited, if there are any seats at all.

The SW fireworks are also happening that evening which will draw guests away from the first Fantasmic as they will find good spots for fireworks and then will attend the second Fantasmic.

@slickpoetry ~ if Dining is filled when you get there, leave, go watch the fireworks and then return. For the 2nd show, the Dining area is open and filled by Standby guests.
