One show that you cannot miss is Fantasmic! It is a 25-minute show at Hollywood Studios and happens most nights, especially during peak season. Before your trip you can check online to see what nights the show will take place. During especially crowded times, like the summer, there are two showings at 9:00PM and 10:30PM. This is a show unlike any other show at Disney World. Mickey Mouse has nightmares about all of the Disney villains, but of course knowing Mickey he doesn't let them ruin his sleep! All of your favorite Disney characters are in this show. There are beautiful fireworks and awesome water special effects throughout the show. The music consists of all of your favorite Disney songs.
Fantasmic is located on Sunset Boulevard at the Hollywood Hills Theater. This is between Tower of Terror and the Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage Show. Seating begins 90 minutes prior to the show, and most people begin to line up at that time. You can most likely get a seat 30 minutes prior, but it won't be the best seat. I have rarely seen a person being able to find a seat closer to the showing than 30 minutes. It is advised that you may get wet if you are in the first few rows, but I sat in the second row this past time and never felt a drop. You also may wonder what you are going to possibly be doing besides just sitting before the show begins for all of that time, but Disney Cast members do a lot of fun things with the audience before show start.
If you want to beat the lines at this show, there is a way. If you make lunch or dinner reservations at either Mama Melrose's Ristorante Italiano or Hollywood and Vine you can choose the dinner and a show package. Basically you make a reservation the day you want to see Fantasmic and select the package deal. This allows you to go 30 minutes to show time, sometimes even less than that, and walk right to the front of the line to your own reserved section. Hollywood and Vine is a buffet and Mama Melrose's is an al a carte menu. However, with the Mama Melrose package you must order an appetizer, entree, and dessert for a flat fee of about 35 dollars a person. My family did that and I felt like the money we spent really did not add up with the food that we ordered. But I do think it was worth it because we had awesome seats and did not need to wait in line at all. Plus the meal we had was delicious.
Don't miss out on this show because it will be something you will never forget!
Reminder: This show is dependent on the weather! Do not be disappointed if a show is cancelled due to rain!
