The first time we saw fantasmic, we got there really early, got great seats, and had a long wait, the show broke down about 10 - 15 minutes before the finale. Everyone was waiting for it to resume, but then the cm's were ushering everone out of the stadium, apparantly they couldn't pick up the show where it stopped. It was a real let down after that long wait and DS's then 6 really wanted to see Mickey face the dragon. The next time we went we did the dinner package and it was great, we could do other things in the park, the seats were good and the wait wasn't long , and we finally saw the whole show. If we go again we will definately do the package our take our chances on what seats are available close to show time. We would never go early again.
