how do you attend the shows?

[dinnysuw]

Hi-how do you attend the shows/movies etc are you assigned a rotation like dinner?
thanks

You are assigned either late seating or early seating depending. If you have early seating you will go to dinner first and then to the show and if you have late you will go to the show and then dinner. It works out really well and there is generally time between dinner/show to do a little pin trading or something fun.

There are two performances each night. Those with the 6:00 dinner (Main Dining) go to the shows after they eat. Those with the 8:30 dinner (Late Dining) go to the shows before they eat. There are no assigned seats or sections...just open seating.

If you have early dinner seating you attend the late show. If you have late dinner seating you attend the early show.

Looks like we all answered at the same time.

It is the same show for each dinner seating (early or late). Gosh that would really be confusing if they rotated the shows as well as the dining rooms!!!

Early dinner, late show
Late dinner, early show is the norm.

However there is no restriction. For example, if you had early seating but one night had a 9pm Palo reservation you could certainly go to the early show.

The movie schedule is listed everyday in your Navigator. You can go whenever you want.

Sometimes there are matinees of the shows as well.

I think we actually answered this person's question, but since I know that others might be confused, I'm going to try to answer it more completely.

There are 3 main stage shows on the Magic and Wonder. 1) Hercules, 2) Disney Dreams, and 3) Golden Mickeys. Depending on the length of your cruise, you may also see one or two variety shows, Who Wants to be a mouseketeer? or a "PreEar at Sea" in the Walt Disney theater. Each show is shown one night only. There are two or three seatings (depending on whether they have a matinee). These seatings are based on your dining seating. If you have late seating for dinner, you go to the 6:30 show. If you have early seating for dinner, you go to the 8:30 show. As the previous poster said, they don't check to be sure you're not "crashing" the other show, it's just that if you're at dinner, you can't possibly go to the other show. You would only go to the other seating's show if you ate at Topsiders, Palo, room service, or didn't eat at all that night. Your navigator will tell you what the show is for the night, and if they have a matinee.

So if you miss Hercules on the night it's shown, you wouldn't be able to go a different night to see it.

The movies (with the exception of the PreEar at sea) are held in the Buena Vista theater. Show times are listed in the navigator, and I think there's also a listing of the day's movies on one of the TV channels.

All shows are open seating, regardless of the theater. If you want a good seat, come a bit early.
