Timing Fantasmic in late July?

[LAWalz23]

Can some wonderful DISer please tell me what time does the regular line for Fantasmic start and what time do they actually start letting folks in to get seats? Would 1 hour before the early show be enough time to get a decent seat? We don't have to be front and center just be able to see the show and one of the screens. If one or two people stand in line early and get seats can the rest of the party join them later? We have done the Fantasmic package in the past, but this is a quick trip so we only have one day at the Studios and we wanted to take our cousin's daughter (20, her first and maybe only trip to WDW) to PrimeTime for dinner. Thanks for any help or advice.

There are two shows most nights in July of Fantasmic! according to the Disney website, 9pm and 10:30pm. I would totally think you would be fine arriving an hour prior to the show starting. We do not use the Fantasmic! dining package, as so far we have been pretty lucky in the fact that our son does not mind sitting and waiting for show. If he does start to get a little antsy, usually one of us will take a walk. Also, most times one of us will go in and reserve seats, but we are coming in quickly after. I dont want want to annoy people by saving seats for a long time or anything. We usually arrive at least an hour ahead and are most times close enough that we get spritzed with water.

Hope you have a great time, this is our FAVORITE thing at Walt Disney World!!!
