Length of Fantasmic?

If Fantasmic starts at 6:30 can I make it to 50's Prime Time Cafe for 7:15 ADR's? I would make a later reservation but there are none to be had at this time.

I think you'd be pushing it but if you hustle it may be possible. Fantasmic is just about 25 minutes so that would put you around 6:55. It generally takes awhile to get out of the theater because of the large crowd... plus you factor in walking from the theater over to 50s Prime Time. I would imagine you would most likely be a few minutes late for your ADR. I don't know what the grace period is to hold your reservation if you are late. My personal opinion, I would keep looking and hope something else opens up...I wouldn't chance it myself. Good luck either way!

You will be totally fine. You might be close to your reservation time, or even five or so minutes late, but that isn't too big of an issue.

You'll be fine, they won't give up your ADR if you're a few minutes late. Sit near the top of the F! theater, that way you won't get stuck behind the huge crowds exiting, you'll be the 1st to get out. We were out of the theater in about 4 min. last week.

If you sit in the main part of the theatre and don't leave early, you'll probably be a few minutes late to your ADR - but not so late as to where you're likely to not get seated for your ADR.

I might get slammed for this. But if you're worried about being late, just be one of the people that get up when the boat comes out and start working your way out (there will be plenty doing it-just like those that leave a ball game early) - pausing to watch the show at the top. Then you'll be at the front of the crowd leaving when the show closes.

I think we will give it a shot. It's just DH, DGD (14), her BFF (14) and me. It's the BFF's first Disney trip and we want to hit the high points. We will sit near the top and leave a tad early. We won't have to deal with strollers this time so that will help. You've all given me the "we can do this!" attitude. Thanks

I would also keep looking to see if a later ADR opens up. That way you can stay for the whole show and you won't have to rush over to Prime Time.

I will keep checking for later or earlier ADRs. Right now there is nothing for any restaurant at DHS from 4:00 to 10:00. It's extra magic hours so my chances might be pretty slim. But I'll keep trying!
