Latest Fastpass+ Arrival Time for Rivers of Light?

[mousehouse23]

I'll be visiting Animal Kingdom late on my arrival day for night EMH, and I'd really love to make it for the 10:30 showing of ROL. I managed to secure a FP for the show but am worried I'll be cutting it close to the show's start time by the time I make it into the park.

Does anyone know how late they'll let you in so that you'll still be able to find a seat and see the show?

I appreciate your advice! Thanks in advance.

With a FP, arrive about 30 minutes before show-time.
Couldn't hurt to be earlier than that.

(You should still be OK arriving later for that show, but you'll have more choice in seating the earlier you arrive.)

FP seating closes 15 minutes before the show begins. At that time, any Standby guests can fill in.

Because it's the 2nd show of the night, you should be able to be seated if you arrive before 10:30. They won't seat anyone after the show begins because of safety reasons - the lights are turned off for the seating area.

Based on the show (quality and length) and the time you will have to invest for ROL, the ones that have seen the show, is it a must?
