ok question what time is the 2ed show and will they always have sec show even in oct after summer?
just thinking bout it lol could maybe spend more time at mad t party and go to sec show and see it better maybe still doing the cct fp but still maybe sec show be less likely to get stuck behind some one
The second show is usually at 10:15! And yes, they usually have a second show on the weekends in the non-summer seasons, Fri-Sun! Week days usually just one.
And sure, if you want to stay at Mad T Party a bit longer, that would be my strategy at least, but I want to make it clear I dont do the 60-90 min waits for WOC anymore! I seen and done the show enough where I either do standby or just show up MAYBE 30 mins before and get the idea. Last time I had a ticket was June 15th, but it was CCT FP ticket so I litterally showed up 15 mins before the show with a friend and got a great spot! In fact the best spot ever in the viewing area.
But the second show you will still have to stand in line, I'm only saying with less people you will simply have more options. And if its a night where they dont even distribute all the tickets, then you can litterally show up a few mins before. The problem is though is you dont know if they did or not lol, but my experience is the second show just has less people in general.
Can you please elaborate on the TLM standby line strategy? Is the line open because there's just no line for TLM that late at night? And you can stand back there, leaving the walkway open. Is it elevated at all? Would a child be able to see? I'm thinking not
The second show is at 10:15. Do you think it's possible to see the 9:30 fireworks from main street at DL and then get back to TLM for the 10:15 show? Has anyone tried this?
There is never a line for TLM lol! But even if there is, its never big enough at night to wrap in front of the building, which is where the standby line is! And why its a good deal is its not like Fantasmic where people can just sit there all day. Its part of the cooridor, so people cant just sit on the ground until sun down. And because of that, they litterally dont let people line up there until about 20-30 mins before the show. So as long as you get there 20 mins early you can easily find a great spot. Even up to 10 mins you can find a good spot but of course if its a little busier than usual then you may behind people, but honestly its very little issues to get a decent spot there, especially if you know around where to stand (between the blue and yellow section is best for me).
And yes, your kids wont have a huge problem seeing it because although its not elevated, the thing is the viewing area is sunk in, so you are looking over the heads of most of the people. In fact in some ways its BETTER for kids because the problem with the viewing area is you can be rows behind other people and if a kid is too small in that limited space they are only looking at the back of peoples heads. So a lot of parents obviously throw their kids on their shoulders, which of course makes it WORSE for everyone else to see behind them. At TLM standby area, no such issues. They are far away from the show where they can see most of it and not have to be thrown on shoulders!
And yes, IF you do the TLM standby area you can do the fireworks and the second show easily. In fact, I do it all the time and why I dont bother getting a FP because its busy its no way you will get a good view that way with a ticket. Second show standby line is busier because people have more time to line up, but again NEVER hard to grab a decent spot at least. Not from my experience and I seen the show about 10 times from that area so far.
