Nighttime Advice ...

[DaveO]

WDW vet and have been to DL a couple of times. Trying to plan nights to see all the shows and need advice on crowd patterns. I know the routine for Fantasmic as I have done that in my previous trips. I will be there 4 nights Sat 12/11 - Wed 12/15. Given that most annual passes are blocked on that Saturday would it be best to see Fantasmic that Saturday or Sunday?

For World of Color I assume seeing that on Monday 12/13 would be best? I am staying at GC DVC so will get the Fastpasses early that day.

Looking for advice if those days are optimal or should I switch them around. I obviuosly want to try to go the nights with the the best chance to have the smallest crowds.

Thanks for the feedback.

For WoC it doesn't matter what night you go. There is a limited amount of FPs to see the shows. They are almost all used up. Hence max capacity almost every show since it opened.

For F! a late show might help on a Sunday if kids are going home to sleep for school the next day. Wether the park will busier on Sat or Sun because of AP blocks is a bit of a gamble.

Definitely do World of Color on either Monday, December 13 or Tuesday, December 14. Those are Cast Member party nights and Disneyland will be closing at 6 p.m. to the general public. So either of those nights would be great for WoC because California Adventure will remain open. You might as well do as much as you can in Disneyland on the nights when there is no CM party and then do California Adventure nighttime stuff on the 13th and 14th.

I'll be there during that time frame too!

I agree with Sherry and Matt. Monday or Tuesday.
