Yes! Click on this link about the Fantasmic Dinner Package and Seating for other people's experiences. 
be prepared for people to be behind you and possibly leaning on the back of you wheelchair...that does sometimes happen...
the seating is pretty good tho....you dont miss a beat (or firework LOL) but I wouldnt advise trying to take pictures from all the way in the back where the hansi seating is.... all of our turned out pretty bad...we got alot od pics of a red basball cap in front of us LOL

Many folks don't know, but there is also handicapped seating on the very first row in the front. I know, because I sat there. Once you enter the theatre, ask a CM to seat you in the front. They will lead you down a twisting ramp (fairly easy slope) that is located on the far left of the theatre (if you are facing the stage-area).
We loved our seats there, although you might get a little mist on you depending on the wind, and the fire can get a little warm. But I liked it better than sitting in the back.

We just got back and did the dinner package, with mom in a chair and had no problems whatsoever!
The view was great!
The only thing i didnt like was pushing her up the back ramp. For an out of shape smoker this wasn't fun
Luckily we didnt have anyone lean on the chair and send it flying, though i had someone video taping over my chair.

Thanks DramaTech for confirming what I thought I saw when we were at Fantasmic in Jan 2000, I am glad to know that if we go back we might have the opportunity to sit closer to the action....
OT..I saw in your profile that you are a stage manager, so am I....now how cool is that...

faeflora,
That is so cool. I am actually going to rehearsal in about an hour. I am managing South Pacific for the City of Euless Starlight Theatre (outdoors, man it's gonna be hot! We open in July.) It's community, but it pays. Are you equity? I would like to be, but have no idea how the union works and all that. I take classes, but they seem to never cover that topic.

DramaTech,
I work for Raleigh Ensemble Players Theatre Company, we're a non profit professional theatre company and so we get paid but almost all of us are not union, although we tend to work with at least two union actors a season. There isn't alot of work here if you go union so most of us chose not to. There is alot of information on Actor Equity on the web, they also have a phone contact so maybe you could find out from them the steps needed to get your union card.
Outdoor drama, wow....I never got the chance to do anything outdoor but it always interested me. Our season just closed with a production of Bent, now we are getting ready for summer classes and advertising next season...there is always something to do.

faeflora and DramaTech,
My DD found Theater Tech this year, her freshman year, What would you suggest for her to do to reach her goal of being a Stage Manager at WDW??
Dh and I have been wondering if She should call the Children's Theater this summer to see if she could do some volunteer work??
We live in a city with several Professional Theaters Companies..
How do you'all think she should proceed? what worked for you?
I would be greatful for any advice!! Thank-you in advance!!!!

Firstly, I would suggest that your DD get involved with as much in school as she can. It is an excellent place to learn the ropes (if the school has a good theatre program). Also, start volunteering for community theatres in the area. Do running crew work...anything to get involved with the actual run of the show. After you do a couple of shows, try ASMing a show. (That's Assistant Stage Managing 
) Explain that it's your first time, and I'm sure the SM will be glad to aid you along. Many times, it's quite hard for community/non-profit theatres to find good help and most of them will be more than happy to have you volunteer to help with their shows.
Remember that it is a long road to her goal, and it won't happen overnight. Shoot, I haven't even gotten there. (But I have, and am currently being paid for my work, and that's a big step.)
Always HAVE FUN , and always try to make your dreams a reality.
If you or she have ANY other questions, please feel free to contact me via email.

Hi tink2dw,
I agree with DramaTech on getting involved with as much theatre as possible. I went to college for theatre tech and what my program did was to make sure that each of us had an experience in each are of production, so I did props, set construction, lighting board, lighting design, set design, sound design, sound board, box office, marketing, acting, directing, stage managing, costume design, make up design. We were also required to take a course in sociology or psychology so we could learn good problem solving skills. Stage management is an amazing part of the production process and the more you know about the other production designers jobs the better you are at assisting the creative process. There is a good guide to stage management called the Stage Managers Handbook, I now mostly use it to modify all of my report documents, but I often use this book to teach young people stage management. You can usually get it from any bookstore.
The other part of stage management is just practice practice practice, theatre is a craft and to get good at it you need to keep learning and updating your skills. Every time I do a show I add something more to my stage management book that I never thought of or needed in the past.
I am fortunate in the fact that I now get paid to stage manage and that I hopefully will soon be a company member in the theatre that I have worked with for over two years now. I have found that if you want a career in the arts you need to be dedicated to it and never stop dreaming of your goals.
As with DramaTech, if your daughter has any questions please do not hesitate to email me.
Hope this helps.
