Shortest Line for Aladdin Show?

[mfriedl1]

Personally I thought it was dreadful and wouldn't waste the time. If you're set on going however, remember that the loge (front center balcony) is better seating than a lot of the orchestra and that an awful lot of people don't realize that. When we went, everyone was cramming into the orchestra line and we got fantastic seats. Just wish the show had been better.

Good, It wasn't just me.

Opinions differ, but most opinions are that this show is one of the best (if not the best) Disney has offered at its parks.

Yes opinions do differ. I actually thought the best show was the Aladdin Dinner/lunch show that was offer in the early 90's at Aladdin's Oasis in Disneyland. Of course the Festival of Fools was a favority of mine, but that is history. This Aladdin show is good, but can't get my DD to sit through it. ***Sigh***

WOW, Aladdin is still at DCA? No offense to anyone, but Blast! was so much better, I saw it everytime I went to DCA. Aladdin I saw once, was not impressed...not up to Disney standards IMHO.

Just had to chime in since I assumed Aladdin had been replaced with a new show by now, Blast was only there for a year or so if I remember correctly.

I do not understand what the poster above needs for a great show. We see alot of broadway and this show is great! Everyone has an opinion.

I guess I just missed something then. To me BLast was great show, festival of the lion king in WDW is a great show, Fantasmic is a great show. Maybe my Disney standards are too high or I just caught a bad performance because when I saw it, it seemed very amaturish to me aside from the obvious money Disney has for the flying carpet, and some of the set pieces. The performace part just seemed sub par for Disney. But maybe I just caught it on a bad day.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion.

Maybe I’m a push over for (almost) anything Disney…
Fantasmic (Orlando or CA) and Aladdin Rock. I’ve never heard of Blast – I’ll have to google it.
I’ve been during Christmas when it is CRAZY busy and gotten to Aladdin about 30 minutes before, sat in the mezzanine right up front. Great seats!
(I say almost anything Disney because I wasn’t crazy about ‘Beauty and the Beast’ or the ‘The Little Mermaid” at MGM)

Part of the original question, as I understood it, is which of the times for the show would be least crowded - first, last middle. For example, I see thatin June the show times are 12:25, 1:55, 4:10, 6:05 - which of the times would be best to attend (i.e. shortest time in line beforehand)??? Is one usually less crowded?

I think any show, ride, etc can have off days. Cast changes make a big difference, I also think sometimes the earlier the better just for the sake of the performers. We stood in the heat for the pereferred tickets from AAA while the other folks stood in line and they had shade.
What grabs me is how people do not understand "NO FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY'

Two couples were booted after they had been warned by the staff. There was not an empty seat at the time we saw it.

Differring opinions is what makes this board what it is.

Conventional wisdom for Disney shows performed multiple times each day is that the first and last shows are most crowded and require the earliest arrival. When we saw Aladdin, we went to the first show because that was the time that worked for us. We got there 30 minutes early and got good seats in the mezzanine.
