I haven't been to this show in years. The dragon never worked, and I didn't like sitting on uncomfortable seats for an hour before the show even started.
Assuming they haven't axed it like they have with Wishes and Illuminations by the time the trip rolls around, what is the best way to get great views for first timers? Does the dessert party have better seats than the dinner package? What about the fast pass seating?
The last time we went with the dinner package, our seats weren't that great.
They have moved the dinner package seats to a better location. We usually use a FastPass on it and will sit second row middle.
This show may be a bit uneven, but the last ten minutes is as Disney as it gets.
Thank you for that information.Quote:

We always enjoy Fantasmic, as someone else mentioned we find the ending quintessential Disney.
Thanks for the info. I'll fit it into their plans.
Fantasmic is a must.Quote:

Fantasmic is always a must for us, but we only visit WDW every few years so it is two weeks of trying to do everything!
We don't tend to book in advance, often what we have done is a morning and early afternoon at a waterpark, then late afternoon head over to DHS and enjoy a few rides (making use of FP for some of the big rides on our last visit) before heading across to the theatre to get ready for Fantasmic, eating a snack whilst waiting in the theatre. That said e normally go at quieter times of the year, this plan may not work as well in July for example.
Also, it there are two shows a night the second one is less crowded.
Dragon was working 2 weeks ago when I was there...Quote:

But, in the end, you are at Walt Disney World, so it's ALL good!!!!
Was it? That is awesome news!Quote:

You'll sit in the parking lot with a cold hamburger and like it.Quote:
