Question about shows

[auntyjenn]

I have a question about shows in Disney World. Which ones can some of your party members go to and reserve a seat, then the rest come in later? Are there any that will send people away if the stadium capacity is reached even if you have someone holding you a seat? Specifically I'm curious about Festival of the Lion King, Lights/Motors/Action! Indiana Jones Stunt Show, Beauty and the Beast, Flights of Wonder...

I would seriously consider NOT using this strategy. The shows tend to load rapidly, especially Lion King. It is one thing to be seated, then have a child need a potty break, it is quite another to be saving seats just because...

It's not like you're seated an hour before show time...show seatings tend to open about 30 minutes prior. About 10 minutes prior to show, Lights/Motors/Action and B & B usually start a pre-show. Flights of wonder usually begins loading only about 15 minutes before show time...it not a HUGE seating area. They have a pre-show right before loading, outside the theater.

I'm fairly certain that with Fantastmic they strongly suggest that you have your whole group together before entering. Because they fill up fast and when they fill up to capicity they will not let you in no matter who is waiting for you. Like Chuck said, it is not recommended to depend on this as a way to get more done or what not. If you are going to see shows, stick together and get your seats....

I'm not really sure how you would be able to hold a spot for more then 1 or 2 people. The CM's ask people to slide to the center of the row filling up all space.

Besides on show's where there is very lmited seating it wouldn't be fair to deprive those who did wait in line of seats.
