Wishes Question and Fantasmic Question

[phillymummer]

Hello DISers!

We leave in 4 days!

How long is wishes? Is there a good spot to watch Wishes from the new Fantasyland?

We have a FP for Space from 6:30-7:30, 7DMT 7:35-8:35 and A&E from 8:40-9:40. I'm trying to figure out the best way to see wishes. We don't want to be in the Hub. We don't care about the celebrate the magic show beforehand. I'm thinking ride 7DMT after wishes? I could watch it somewhere close to the ride?

UPDATE: Wishes is at 8:00 on our MK day.

UPDATE #2- Is Fantasmic about a half hour? We have FP for TSMM from 6:45-7:45. Fantasmic is at 7. Do you think we could make it to TSMM after Fantasmic? Can you leave the show early? I'm thinking we could maybe find a seat in the back, close to the exit and pop early?

Thanks!

P.S.- I think I am overplanning now!

do you know what time wishes is I think it runs about 20 30 minutes but I could be way off if you really want to know Youtub it and that should tell you how long it is.I have been on 7DMT during wishes very cool but you miss a lot of it.

I guess the time of wishes is important! LOL Wishes is at 8:00 that night. This is what happens when I post before the coffee has kicked in!

then I would do 7dmt about 5 minutes before your return time you should be down by 7;50 then just find a place to watch I have not tried it but I am going to watched it in from right behind CRC not sure if the CM will let you back there but the fire works are shot off right behind the park in that area there are a few that are set off from inside the park then you have A&E right there

UPDATE #2-

A. Is Fantasmic about a half hour?
We have FP for TSMM from 6:45-7:45. Fantasmic is at 7.
B. Do you think we could make it to TSMM after Fantasmic?
C. Can you leave the show early?
D. I'm thinking we could maybe find a seat in the back, close to the exit and pop early?

P.S.- I think I am overplanning now!

A. Yes.
B. Yes.
C. Yes. However that would be a really poor choice.
D. Yes. In the back, towards audience-right.
Just leave when the show is precisely over.
You'll be at the head of 98% of the crowd and can walk directly to TSMM.
Do not leave the show early. The last 5 minutes are
about the most exciting and fun in the show.

And for most FP they will give you a few minute lead way but I would not count on it for every time and since it is a headliner they maybe more strict

Thanks Robo! I love your maps!

More question.... there are two fantasmics that night- 7:00 and 8:30. I'd rather go to the 7:00 so I can then do TSM and then head over the Osbourne lights. I figure there would be less criss-crossing all over the park. Anyway, will I have to get in line early to find a spot in in the back by the exit? We can't get a FP since we will not have used TSM yet.

1. will I have to get in line early to find a spot in in the back by the exit?
2. We can't get a FP since we will not have used TSM yet.

1. Doubtful for that, specifically. But, be early regardless of where you want to sit.
At WDW, it's better to arrive far too early, than be one minute too late.

2. You can very likely get a FP+ for Fantasmic! right up until about show-time.
They issue thousands of thme.
Many wait to get it until it's their 4th or 5th FP of the day.

In order to get a 4th FP don;t you have to use all three first? I won't be using the third until after fantasmic. I tried to switch out my Frozen sing-along FP for a fantasmic and it wasn't available. I'm thinking it won't show one for the 7:00 show because then it would overlap with my TSMM FP. Correct? But fantasmic wasn't on the list at all.

Fantasmic! won't show up in the list if you already have a "Tier 1" FP booked.
(TSMM is "Tier 1," so that's the situation.)

If you can't get a FP+ for F!, don't sweat it.
It is just an added resource that allows sitting in a far wider range of seating in the theater.
