How early to arrive for Fantasmic on EMH night?

[mrsmagic]

If we don't have the dinner package, how early should we arrive to get reasonable seats for Fantasmic on an EMH evening? There is one show that night, at 7 pm.
Thanks!

At least an hour or maybe even 1 1/2 hours. That place fills up very fast. And theres even people waiting at the gate I'm sure 2 hours prior. Thats just crazy. I would say an hour should be good.

Can I just give you a warning?

Bring something soft to sit on. Those benches really start to hurt after awhile. I had to stand for the last 30 minutes before the show because my butt hurt so much.

Back on topic: I got there about 1 1/2 hours before the show and I got good seats. The place was barely full then. Even an hour before should be fine as long as you don't want a front row seat.
