Fantasmic Thread!

You can usually walk into a decent spot to view the show at 10:30pm.

We've had hit or miss experiences with the 10:30 PM showing. There's been times when it's been fairly empty and we've been able to walk onto a good spot 5 minutes before, but other times when it's still really crowded. @sazzle12 it may also depend on how familiar you are with the layout of Rivers of America and F! - if you are fairly comfortable with navigating the area in the dark and with crowds you'll likely be OK if you're in the area after fireworks, but if you're not it's always safer booking a dining package if the budget isn't a concern.

No rain. Just surprising. On a positive note, Minnie was on the Mark Twain. The last few times I saw the show, they had a penguin character (not Wheezy) I’m not familiar with. So they’re changing things up again!

Hmm, interesting. In Friday night's performances the Peter Pan performers did not perform stunts, but it had been raining earlier that day, so I think they switched into B-mode for the performance for safety. Not sure if it was misting earlier on Saturday? Yesterday all pyro worked and Maleficent's lift worked as well. No Kaa on Friday, but Kaa was back on Sunday. It seems like they're having recurring issues with Kaa given that its inclusion has been hit or miss recently.

Is there a premium package to get for the best seats? We’re considering this but want a good view

There is a premium package but it does not give you the best seats necessarily but it does give you actually seats on the patio of the RIverbelle Terrace. You have your meal at 7pm and stay on the patio to watch the show.

F! packages offered on Monday May 19. F! is being shown daily throughout the summer season through early August and possibly all of August. I will confirm this with later dates during the week to be sure F! is being shown daily.

I just cancelled a Premium Fantasmic! Dining Package reservation for 2 people on Sunday, March 30th at 7:15pm. That package includes dinner and seating on the patio at River Belle Terrace.

*It is gone now.

we usually get the cheapest fantasmic package - if we do the early show am I right that we can stay where we are and watch the fireworks?
i've never done that before
