Hello, we are going to DL Thurs Aug 18 and staying overnight. We’d like to see Fantasmic and now that MSEP is leaving, we’d love to see that too, but only if we can get a dining package for it. And if we’re seeing both, then we might as we’ll see the fireworks too.
Today, several Hungry Bear packages popped up and I grabbed two reservations- one at 5:15 pm which would get us into the early show (typically what we’d prefer) and one at 7pm which would get us into the later show (might allow us to see MSEP as well if we can find a Plaza Inn Reservation). We also already had a River Belle Terrace reservation for 11:20am. I am trying to decide which to cancel. (We are staying at the Grand, so I’m not too worried about having extra food- we can run it back to our DVC unit and stick it in the fridge).
Questions:
1. Is it feasible to watch first showing of MSEP from Plaza Inn reserved area, then watch fireworks, then get to Hungry Bear or RBT Fantasmic viewing sites in time to get a good spot for the second Fantasmic show? What times do folks start lining up for the reserved Fanstamic viewing?
2. Is RBT reserved area way better Fantasmic viewing than Hungry Bear?
3. Do you need reserved viewing for the second Fantasmic show? We HATE being in the crush of folks jostling for a good view, so if there’s even a little of that, a dining package is one thousand percent worth it to us.
Thanks
