Need FP for new Festival of the Lion King?

[lovetogowdw]

Now that Festival of the Lion King is in the new location and FP is available, do you "need" it? What % of the available seating is being initially held for FP guests? If you don't use FP, are there shows that you will have a hard time getting a seat for if you aren't there _____ (how long?) in advance? Does the new theater have more/less/same amount of seating as the old one?

We went to the 4:00 show (last one of the day) a few days ago. We did get a FP+ for it. The FP+ people were allowed in first. They filled up about 2/3 of the theater. The standby guests were allowed in about 10 mins prior to the show. They all found seats though.....up in the higher rows.

Is it possible to pull a FP for the show as a 4th or 5th FP instead of using it as your first 3? Going August 19th-26th.
