Rivers of Light Question

[Disnerd6838]

My girlfriend and I have a trip booked for late May, and haven't experienced crowds for this show yet. Is it similar to Fantasmic where if you'd like a decent seat you need to be there 2 hours prior? Also as a side note, for May 29th it's saying there will be two shows so that may help? Any input is useful. We have a 5:40 ADR at Tusker house and are trying to figure out our evening plans. Thanks!

Do you have a FP or Dinner show meal at Tusker House? If not you may not even get in. The theater has a very small stand by capacity.

I'd get there at these times

Standby: 60-90 min prior
FP: 45 min prior
Dining: 30 min prior

They open the arena about 90 min prior to showtime. Reports on this forum have been if there's a second showing then the crowd is a lot less.

I went earlier this month and it was only one showing. Standby area was basically completely full 60 min prior.

We are excited to see this show and are planning on getting a FP. I was hoping to not have to queue up early for the FP area, as it looks like it's got it's own side. Will we be out of luck if we show up 15min early, do the FP seats run out?

Yes the fast pass section fills up. I wasn't there on a night where there was two shows. If I was there and seeing the second show of the night, I would try for 15 min prior. But if you're seeing the first show, or if it's the only show of the night, I would show up at least 30 min prior. You can show up closer to showtime but the FP section could be filled

Also the earlier you show up the more choice you have in seats. They don't fill it row by row, you just pick where you want to sit.

Thank you!
