H&V F!: is 6:10pm too late?

[TigerE]

When should we arrive for the 9pm Fantasmic with a dinner package? And how long is the walk (with a 4-year old, no stroller) from H&V to the Fantasmic location? We have a 5pm and a 6:10pm ADR for the Star Wars character dinner, and our friends let us pick the one we like --- which one would you pick? (I was leaning towards the 6:10pm so that we can fit a mid-day break, but am a bit worried that we will feel rushed.)

1- When should we arrive for the 9pm Fantasmic with a dinner package?

2- And how long is the walk (with a 4-year old, no stroller) from H&V to the Fantasmic location? We have a 5pm and a 6:10pm ADR for the Star Wars character dinner, and our friends let us pick the one we like ---

3- which one would you pick? (I was leaning towards the 6:10pm so that we can fit a mid-day break, but am a bit worried that we will feel rushed.)

1- 8:30-ish.

2- Allow 10-15 minutes.

3- 5PM is "safer"
But, if you choose 6:10pm, be sure to ask for your bill when you are seated, and settle up long before
you are finished dining.

What takes so long? I have a 6:30 Mickey Jedi Fantasmic res and I thought that was plenty of time.

What time does F! start that night?

I would ask for the check when I was seated. Every time we eat @ H&V we always have a long wait to be seated.

We had a 6:00pm res last week and didn't get seated until 7:00. We took our time and spent alot of time with each char. We still make the show by 8:30 with no problem.

We even took the long way there!

 

[TigerE]

Thank you all again! We decided on the 5pm time in the end, to be on the safe side. Perhaps we get seated earlier with a 5pm ADR (a long wait for dinner with a hungry 4-year old in tow may be a bit problematic).

It took an hour to get seated, with a reservation?! If that happens to us, we're leaving, and they better not try to charge me a cancellation fee.

Did you or will you post the one you will cancel on the dining cancellation board? Depending on date, we may want your cancelled ADR
