OK the last time I saw Fantasmic was roughly 6 years ago.

My daughter was 2 and she started crying in the middle and we had to leave. So this was my truely first real show.

The Hollywood Hills Amphitheater, holds a lot of people. I though it would be ok to line up 1 hours before show time but I was wrong. The line at 1 hour before showtime stretched all the was back to the villians shop and more and more people were showing up all of the time.

They let us in 45 minutes prior to show time and it took all 45 minutes to fill the stadium. It was a steamy hot Florida night and after a few Crowd waves rolls, the lights dimmed and we were off.

Now there is bathrooms and consessions in the stadium, along with roaming vendors so if your hungry, thirsty or need to potty (sorry I am a dad after all) wait till you get into the stadium and get settled. Then one person watch the seats while the other goes off. Also bring the DS's or something for the litle ones to do. Sitting for almost an our looking at a dark rock formation is not fun.

I will not go into much of the story because of spoilers, but safe to say it does not disapoint. Fantasmic is worth the hassle and the wait. Princesses, the Fab Five, and a host of other Disney Characters and Villians make appearances. Heck this is Mickey's imagination so you never know who is going to show up.

Fantasmic only runs a few times a week. So check www.waltdisneyworld.com calendar section for what nights it is on and plan accordingly.
