is it wise to utilise a fp+ for shows-is there a need?

Which shows have disabled seating in the front rows rather than the back?

Choices of shows for May trip:

Flights of wonder
Beaty & the beast
Fantasmic
Lion king
 
Regarding FP+ I personally see no need for that related to the 4 shows listed. Depends too on you personally and how many other FP+es you can use - like if you only really need two then sure use one for a show. So much around that - we did not use that for my son at shows during Thanksgiving and were fine, but really none that would be "bad" from the back. Now for seating:

Fantasmic: Yes - Top or Bottom
Lion King: Yes - Bottom

Beauty and the Beast: didn't make it this time but seem to recall it was at bottom - my sone has vision issues so they tend to run together :)
Flight of Wonder: Went once and think we actually came in on the bottom - maybe it was the middle - others I am sure will help you out and enjoy your trip!!
 
BAB I believe has accessible seating in the front, in the middle, and in the back.

Fantasmic has seating in the front and in the back. However, if you want seating in the front, it is a LONG way around to circumvent the stairs and you have to get there VERY early because they don't reserve the seating (in my experience). Once they open the theater, the seating along the bottom where wheelchairs could fit is opened for everyone. The two times we have been in the front, we were the only ones I noticed with a wheelchair in our party. Also, keep in mind that you will get wet in the front at Fantasmic.

Lion King (if I remember correctly) you enter on the main floor, so all of the seating for wheelchairs is in the front and everyone else has to walk up.
 

Lion King is up front. The seating for everyone else is bleachers and you enter from the bottom, so there's no rear/top accessible seating. At Nemo it was the opposite- you enter at the top and while there are a couple rows back/above you the wheelchair seating is essentially at the back. The seating we got for Fantasmic was also at the top/rear but that place is so huge I couldn't tell you if that was all there was. Um... thinking... (my daughter had a "stroller as wheelchair" tag for sensory issues so we used it sparingly. There were shows where we determined that she didn't need to be able to retreat and therefore did not need an accommodation.)

I'm sorry, that's all I really remember. Oh- Laugh Floor was up front.
