Where in MDE does it tell you if Fantasmic is canceled for the night?

I think it depends on your situation, would you wait it out in a storm anyway or would you have the ability to go on a different night? Or is the show not that important?

I tend to like the convenience of the package, but reading this I cancelled mine for June. I’ve gotten lucky in Sept but it’s a bit of a relief to not be worried about the weather. However, I’m an AP with a longer trip so if it’s full nbd I’ll just catch it another night.

I had thought of booking it for the part of our trip that we have family with us who've never seen it. Personally, I really could care less if I see it or not (the crowds in the amphitheater can give me an anxiety attack). I think if our group wants to see it, we'll just join the standby queue.

I will say that this is really making me rethink booking the fireworks pkg--we did it last year and loved it. It was the first time seeing Luminous, and while it is no Illuminations, I enjoyed having an unobstructed, seated view of the show. I think I may pass on it and just save the $$$.

We've really lucked out on the weather over the past few years we've gone (lately have done June/July/Aug/Sep). The only time the weather kind of threw a wrench in the plans was when we had an EEH VQ for guardians. We came off of FEA to an absolute hellish T-storm that kept everybody in the gift shop for about 45-min. We called it as soon as the lightening passed but the rain was just awful. It was a very cold, wet bus ride back to the resort. Luckily we tend to take fairly long trips and don't mind too much if we miss out.

OP here! The night following the apocalyptic storm , we had an early dinner at Wailulu —fabulous! — and watched a storm roll in. We were going to go try our luck with GR at DHS, but the skies opened up and we called it a night. No rain in forecast today , and I will go ask them, but I also get that if they re-sat everyone affected, it would overrun the section.
