Mermaid vs Muppets

[slzer0]

Trying to plan my FP on HS day-
Would you use yours on Voyage of the Little Mermaid or Muppet vision.... with a 2.5yo?

Anyonr have experience with kids this age at either show? Does the FP make a difference? Is it shorter lines or a special area?

We were planning to do the late Muppets show, right before or after dinner. DH loves Muppets.

Wondering of DS will be interested much in the Mermaid show. He does love fish.
I saw a video of Nemo at AK, is it like that? The Disney site asks puppetry? If so, would a preferred area be better for his age? Is the line usually long for this one?

I'm thinking if it's a good show with a long line it might be a better use of FP than Muppets, I hear lines are sjorter at night? Especially during Osborne?

I say Little Mermaid as there is always a long line and I like the show better. I've never had to wait longer than the preshow for Muppets.

I personally would not use a FastPass on either! We were at WDW a week ago. We walked on both and basically had no wait except for the show to begin. We saw Muppets around 1 pm on a Sunday and Voyage of the Little Mermaid around 6 pm on a Friday. Voyage of the Little Mermaid is a very sadly outdated show. My DH and I thought it was terrible compared to others we saw on Disney property (Finding Nemo and Festival of the Lion King at Animal Kingdom in particular). Just our opinion - it could use an upgrade for sure. I think the most important thing if you're worried about these lines is to go to HS on a day that will not be very crowded. Check out crowd calendars and don't go on an EMH day.

If I had to choose it would be mermaid. The muppets is usually no longer than a 10 minute wait. Little mermaid can be way longer. Honestly the muppet show might not keep his attention as it is a 3d show and I know little ones sometimes just don't "get" 3d.

Thanks. HS day scheduled for 11/14.
Muppets is mostly for DH benefit, lol.
If I'm not using a FP for either, what would you suggest? HS doesn't have a lot of rides available and tiering sort of limits that decision even further.
