Hollywood Studios shows

[chevab2020]

Everything I've read says there's no need to FP the Hollywood Studios shows. Is there any advantage at all? For example, if my kids love Frozen, does FP to the sing along get you better seats? How far in advance do you need to wait in line before a show time to be guaranteed a seat to that show? Thanks.

No tangible advantage.
We do “stand by” for Frozen Sing.
We come into the theater 10-15 min. before show time and most times can make our way to sit in row 1, 2, or 3. (Audience left.)

I agree, no advantage to FP for shoes except for maybe Fantasmic but you can get a FP for that relatively late (I’ve gotten them while walking to the amphitheater)

Yep, no real advantage to the FP+. There are no bad seats for the Sing Along

For Frozen, I think the FP's just guarantee you entrance on the VERY busy days. Fp holders are let in the theater before the Stand By queue, so if it's CRAZY busy, you'll still get a seat. It's not like the theater is small tho, so it would have to be a pretty busy day to be turned away.

Unless you are there during a really busy time, I would agree there is no real benefit.
Frozen, you are let into the holding area before other guests, but then are held in the same area and everyone goes in at once.
Indiana Jones, FP has a more central seating, but it holds a lot of people. We have never not gotten a seat without a FP.
Beauty and the Beast, same as Indiana Jones.
Fantasmic - with or without FP you still need to be in line 45 minutes before the show. Our last trip with FP, we were next to last section to the left. Non FP seemed to have better seats.

Question along the same lines....

I am trying to make Fantasmic on my upcoming trip. I have a SDD FP for evening time (i love TSL at night). So getting a day of FP may not be feasable.

How early do i need to get to Fantasmic, really?

“How early do i need to get to Fantasmic, really?”

On a busy day, (seems like ALL days are busy) 45 min. or more.
