Question regarding Fantasmic/Star Wars Weekend fireworks

[live4christp1]

Will be in WDW for Star Wars Weekends, we've been before but last SWW was 2011. We love Fantasmic.....it's probably our favorite all time show at WDW but we've been when they are doing fireworks for SWW. Fantasmic shows at 9:00 PM, preshow for SWW fireworks is 9:30 with fireworks at 9:45.

It will be myself and two kids - no strollers etc. Will we have time to get from Fantasmic to see the SWW show? I know it's like herding cattle out of the theater when the show is over. Any tips or advice. Should we just skip Fantasmic this trip? I've debated on adding the park hopper but am still on the fence about it.....could hop over from AK when they close at 8 for Fantasmic but no guarantees we would get in.



Any suggestions? We have 5 park days planned.....two at MK, one at each of the other parks. I'm thinking it would possibly be cheaper to add a sixth day and just go to DHS on our arrival day to watch Fantasmic.....but we have dinner ADRs at 1900 Park Faire.......decisions.....decisions.....

I would expect a 2nd Fantasmic to be added at 10:30. You shouldn't have any trouble seeing both on the same night if you can attend the late show.

Last summer, we were on Tower of Terror when the fireworks show started. That was pretty cool to see them when the tower doors opened. After the ride, we went down to the courtyard area near the Fast Pass+ kiosk and watched the rest of the fireworks show. We then had time for a couple more trips in the Tower with the last being right before they closed the gate. After that, we grabbed some snacks and drinks and strolled over to the Fantasmic amphitheater with plenty of time to spare.

last year they added a F! for 10:30pm. You can easily watch the SW fireworks and then go to F!. The 2nd show rarely fills to capacity during SWW.
