I like Fantasmic! a lot... but I've been enough that I don't go unless there are two shows. And then, I get in line for the second about 1/2 hour before it starts.

My mom and aunt, on the other hand, took some books and went two hours early. They got to read, rest, visit with those around them, and they had great seats.
 

We usually go an hour before the show. That has given us a good seat everytime. :)
 
I can't think of any show worth these kind of waits...30 minutes tops by using the FDP or going to the 2nd show we went maybe 10-15 minutes before showtime and had no trouble--Summer of 04....
 
We usually go in the summer when it is busy and get the Fantasmic pkg or go to the second show. But what about when there only is one show....say like October which is my next trip???
 
Presidents week we went 10 minutes before the show and got the last seats - all the way at the end. However, I thought they were the best seats I've had, because the fountains were right in front of you.

4 years ago, I tried going 45 minutes ahead and they were full so I didn't get to see it that year, so the next time I went I went 1 hour ahead of time, but now I'd rather ride the rides and take my chances.
 
I prefer not to waste time waiting an hour or more, geez, that's boring . Last year we walked right in, about 15 minutes before and had a pretty decent seat. :) There's really no "bad" seat when you think about it. It's still Fantasmic no matter where you sit.
 
We usually use the Fantasmic Dinner Package so we only go about 30 minutes before the show .
 
I like Fantasmic, but I don't go any more than 30-40 minutes ahead of time. I hate sitting around in the theatre. I go during slower times though so it isn't usually a problem, but I have missed it a couple times.
 
The first time we were worried about getting a seat so we rushed to scarf down some food outside then ran in at about an hour before. Then we went in and realized it was ok to eat there. And that seats weren't filling up anywhere near as fast as expected. Now it's 30 minutes max for us with food in hand, but that's during low seasons. We don't go during crowded months so I can't speak about that.
