Star Wars Weekend - When To See Fantasmic?

[DisneyFamily123]

On Star Wars Weekend May 23-25, there is a 9pm and 10:30pm Fantasmic Show. Plus the Star Wars Show and Fireworks at 9:45pm. Do you think there will be less crowds at Fantasmic at the 9pm or 10:30pm.

Both shows will be very busy.
The second show will traditionally have fewer guests, but that second show could still be a sellout.
(It will largely depend on how many guests tried but did not get into the F! Theater for the first show.)

Thanks Robo! Probably my best option is to go earlier in the week but I want to get DS up early each morning (I know you're a fan of rope drop too) including to be at MK at 6am for the 24 hour event.

The SWW thread is recommending the 2nd Fantasmic to ensure a good view of the SWW fireworks followed by quickly going to Fant. The concern is that after the first Fantasmic, it will be difficult to find a spot with a good view of the Hat and fireworks.

Fp+ has been offered for the 2nd Fantasmic. It guarantees you a seat in the Fp+ area. The area consists of all the seating sections to the left of the reserved Dining Area. In February, standby guests filled in the Dining Area for the second show while Fp+ stayed to the left of the rope and CM/Manager barricade.

Thanks. I was wondering how FP+ works with Fantasmic. It seems it would be difficult to do both I worry abut the crowd leaving SITS to go to the 2nd Fantasmic. I didn't have a great experience with Fantasmic once with a major crowd heading into the theater. My heels were run into twice by the stroller demons pushing behind me.

We may go earlier in the week in a night that is not Star Wars weekend.
