Which night event should I do first F! or WoC

[mvf-m11c]

My cast of three are considering doing F! dessert package on Saturday October 2nd for the 10:30 show. We are planning on watching WoC from Paradise Bay for the 9 pm show and than after WoC we will head on over to DL and head over to the F! dessert seating. I know that it is possible to watch WoC than go over to the ROA and see F! for the 2nd show. But I want a sitting viewing area right by the ROA, so it is not a good chance of getting a spot by the ROA after WoC.

I also know that I can send a member of our cast over to DL and check-in all of our members for the 10:30 show while the other members can get a good viewing area for WoC for the 9 pm show. This will give our group a good viewing area for WoC at the 9 pm show and a seating area for F!.

Should I do WoC than F! dessert package on Saturday night? But I am also considering doing F! first, than watching the fireworks (possibly RDCT) and than the 2nd show for WoC. But I also know that it is also a disadvantage to come from DL and get a good viewing area for the 2nd show of WoC. If I do the dining package, I at least will get a good viewing spot. But I am not planning on doing the dining package for the 2nd show.

I would do WOC at 9PM and then Fantasmic dessert at 10:30. One challenge you may have is if they are still doing the pre-show for WOC at 8:30PM they need the aisles free and they "lock down" entry at 8:25. With F! check-in at 8PM it could be hard to for your Fantasmic runner to get back. I would tell the runner to...well... run!

Ok I hate to burst your fun plan, But the WOC show doesn’t start till at least 9:15pm, it’s a 20-ish minute show, and it’s busy at that time after the show because a lot of other park guests see WOC at that time, its like one big “cattle yard”, you may not make it to F! For a 10:30pm show.. I mean if you want a good spot to stand then I would not even chance it, I would do WOC on one night and F! on another…but that is just my humble opinion. you maybe cutting it close, and besides why stress over trying to make each show, space it out!

I could not see any 9:15 on the schedule anywhere but if you look at Oct 2 it is 9PM.

I know that WoC will be starting at 9:00 & 10:30 on Friday to Sunday. WoC is a 27 minute show, I have video taped three times during my two trips this summer.

Getting a railing view for the 1st show of WoC is easy thing to do if you want to wait close to an hour right by the blockade. Those times where guests are waiting right by the light tower to get a viewing area is just ridiculous. It just causes a big mob around the light tower. I have been to DL when WoC debut this summer and this month. I could have easily done WoC first than F! 2nd during my visits, but I was just tired from the long day at the parks.

I have calculated the times from the check-in for F! dessert package and getting to the WoC viewing area just barely before the WoC pre-show. Just like what Hydroguy said that someone in my party will have to run to get back to viewing area before the pre-show. It will be a surprise if they don't have the WoC pre-show, but I planned that DL will have the WoC pre-show.

My party is only going to be there for two nights and we will be doing MHP on Oct. 1st and hope to see both WoC & F! on Saturday. But right now I am leaning toward not planning on doing F! for Saturday night and just do WoC.

Just got back and it is possible to do both on the same night... When we were there WoC was a 9.15 show followed by a 1015 and a 1115 however this was a summer schedule. We got a Red view area and opted for the splash zone... We did not get wet at all and had front seat viewing despite arriving only 25 minutes before the show started... Once you have your spot you can leave to go and get food etc, just be sure to get a pass from the CMs before you leave the viewing area or you won't be allowed back in...

The only challenge in making the 1030 F! is going to be getting through the crowds but with 15minutes less time than you and with summer crowds we still made it easily...
