Star Wars shows advice please

[mrsincredible3]

OP here! Thanks for all of the advice!

Since I posted this my DS4 has become adamant we do the nighttime show....and dh would like to see it as well. So.....we are currently booked to do either just the dessert party or the Star Wars tour which includes the dessert party. Still debating on that decision. I am leaning towards the tour so that we will have a stress free day and my kids have a better chance of being awake for the fireworks. We will sleep in, only use our three FP+ (so no waiting in lines), have a table service lunch and then do the tour. I think they will make it up doing it this way, and we have a no parks day the following day to sleep in. We will also go a second morning only to use fastpass and shop a bit, see the IJ show which we won't be able to fit in on the tour day. If they were a bit older we'd try to cram it all in one day, but I just don't think they can do it. Okay, I think I just convinced myself that the tour is the way to go...thanks . They really aren't good at standing in one spot waiting for something to start....lines at least move and there are things to look at.....the just standing is really hard. So the tour will eliminate our "standing time".

FWIW (and I don't have kids, so maybe there is an aspect I'm not considering): I don't think you need to show up an hour early to "find a good spot". I was in the middle of dinner at H&V when the show started on my last trip; I ran out to watch the show (while my mom stayed at the table, obviously lol) and had a great spot.

Agreed about not having to be that early without kids. We saw tons of people just walk up 2 minutes till and squeeze into the mix. The downside for kids is not being able to see. I'm not a shoulder kid believer so I like to have them where they can see without too much obstruction. Pretty much right on the tape is the best/only way.
