New Hollywood Studios show seating capacity

[yorkieteacher]

Has anyone heard what the theater seating capacity for the new Little Mermaid and Villains shows in Hollywood Studios will be?

I think the original seating capacity for Voyage of the Little Mermaid was a little under 2000 people. I wouldn't expect that to have really changed much, if any.

I’m not sure we’ll know the seating of either theatre until the shows reopen. The theatres may have been reconfigured for the new shows.

I really hope so for the Villains show since Lightning McQueen's Racing Academy only had benches, and there was a very low capacity of about 10-12 guests per row in 3 banks of benches Left, Center, and Right.

Maybe we will get something more comfortable than the benches in Lightning!

Hopefully the Villains show won’t be too scary. I want it for a place to take DGD while DD and DSiL ride what’s now RnR!

Disney doesn't really make anything scary. I'm sure it will be fine.

Did you ever experience the Alien attraction that was in MK Tomorrowland before it became a Stitch attraction (the attraction space in that building is currently empty)?

I was going to reference the same attraction, Extraterrorestrial Alien Encounter in Tomorrowland in the old Mission to Mars location. It came for the minds of Michael Eisner and George Lucas. Eisner did not like the orignal show format and it was retooled to be more intense.

Yes, we experienced it at least once, maybe more, and it was indeed intense! Restrained to your seat, having the alien monster breathe down the back of your neck....

Can anyone report how crowded the new Villians show has been? Has the theater been filling to capacity for most shows? If so, does anyone have a recommendation on how early we should arrive for a particular showtime?
