Pros: Special effects are great. I loved the Music.
Cons: This is a Loud, and scary show for kids.

At the end of Sunset Boulevard, at Disney MGM Studios, right next to the Tower of Terror, is the Outdoor Amphitheater that houses Fantasmic.

Crowds often gather at the entrance up to 3 hours before the show, it is that popular! The...

Pros: innovative water screens, nice water ballet, lots of special effects
Cons: difficult to see and follow, disjointed, random live scenes, crowded, takes forever to exit

I chose to eat dinner rather than attend Fantasmic during my first trip to Disney World. This time I spent more time in the parks and had time to try everything I wanted to try without going hungry. Thus, I caught a 6:30 showing of Fantasmic. A 25 ...

Pros: The BEST show in ALL of DISNEY!!
Cons: Hard to get a good seat

I first saw Fantasmic at MGM Studios within the first month that it opened. I waited for over 2 hours to get a decent seat, and still, I was stuck in the way back of the theater. (I guess back then, I should have waited 3 hours!). Since then, I’ve...

Pros: excellent special effects, features beloved characters
Cons: get there 90 minutes early

Fantasmic is the last show to see at MGM studios.You have to go to the Hollywood Hills Amphitheatre at least one hour or 90 minutes before the show starts to get a good seat. The theater fills up quickly. I sat in the first row to make sure I could...

Pros: Spectacular
Cons: Hard to get a seat

On a trip to Disney's MGM Studios I wanted to see Fantasmic. I didn't know much about it, but it was a night time show and I thought we should see it while we were there. Unfortunately, we didn't get to the theater early enough and it was full. We...

Pros: Visual stunner for all ages
Cons: To get a good seat, prepare to wait, wait, wait, and wait some more.

Prior to going to Disney World, I heard that I should not miss Fantasmic. So, when my husband and I went to MGM, we decided that we would see what it was like. Sensing that it might be a new, popular feature, we asked some park employees when we should...

Pros: Lights, music, dancing, excellent effects
Cons: ARRIVE EARLY TO GET A SEAT

WOW........this was clearly one of Disney's Best Shows Yet. we arrived at this show approximately 1/2 hour before start time, I am so grateful that my mom arrived 1 and 1/2 hours before show time and saved us seats. When we arrived we had to wait in...

Pros: Perfect View of the Fantasmic! Lagoon Show. Good desserts.
Cons: REALLY, REALLY expensive. Hard to get reservations.

In August our family visited Disneyland. The California branch (me, my husband, our two daughters, plus my mom and stepdad)goes pretty regularly to the park. But this trip was special, as we were joined by my grandmother and my 13 year old cousin from...

Pros: Great Effects, made with pure Disney Magic, Every favorite character included!
Cons: Long wait for the show (but it's worth it), and limiting seating

After sitting around for two hours waiting for the show to start, you start to think to yourself...is it worth it? Well, that's what i'm here to tell you. It definitely is worth it. I've seen this show many times. The first few times I showed up only...

Pros: Great, Wonderful, and absoulutely FANTASMIC!
Cons: Long walk; hard metal benches; Pocahantas

Fantasmic at Disneyland is wonderful. The one at the studios is, also, too. The long walk in the stadium is OK. I sat in the middle, and, amazingly, never had to use the john. Thank god. There are food and souvenir vendors. Bad news though: The pre-shows...

Pros: Great Disney show which contains some of the best visual and sound effects.
Cons: Some parts may scare little children, possibility of getting wet at front-rows

As a longtime Disney World visitor, I have basically seen every nighttime show that they have (or have had) to offer and I can honestly say that Fantasmic blows every other one away. Sure, it may not be completely fair comparing a big budget show to a ...
