Handicap section for Fantasmic?

[Susie63]

We have done the dessert seating for Fantasmic in the past and now I need a new option. I cannot sit on the ground and standing for an hour is not an option. I am vertically challenged....5"3" so using fp's to enter at the last minute won't work. Do they have a HA section with benches and would my DH and DD be able to sit on the ground in the section? Does DAS come into play for the HA section?

No benches, you'd need to provide your own wheelchair. They do have a new option to pay extra for an RBT seating where you can stay in your seat.

No wheelchair....just my cane. Thanks

Can you stand for the duration of the show? If so, maybe you could do a dining package at BB or RBT and have someone from your family save your spots while you sit nearby? I know you can stand in the back of the BB section because we've done it in the past. Maybe someone in the Dining Package thread can answer about the RBT section. The BB section has a planter wall that you can lean against, if I remember correctly.

That is pefect! Thank you. I can stand for the show just not for hours waiting. They could grab seats up front and I could sneak in just before the show!

... and I could sneak in just before the show!

Just make sure to introduce yourself to the CMs and point out your family to them beforehand so that they know you all are together. That way they'll know you're not trying to cut into the Dining Package section when you go to join your family.

We would all have BB fp's. I would just enter later. If we all waited till just before the show, would they be able to see from the back. They are both tall.

Since everyone else would be seated in the rows in front of them, yes, they should be able to see fine while standing in the back.

Even with the BB FPs, make sure the CMs at your entrance know who you are and that you all are together. It is not uncommon for CMs to move around and switch posts. You might introduce yourself to one CM and another one who doesn't know you will be at the entry when you are ready to go in. If you have already checked in with one or two other CMs in the area, they will recognize you and make sure you reconnect with your family. They will also assure other guests that you are not trying to sneak into the FP area, but that you really belong there.

ETA: It is possible that CMs may make your family sit in front of you while you stand in the back. Again, make sure the CMs know that you are all together.
