After eating lunch at Tony’s we will have a VIP 3:00 Parade viewing, after the parade we will go straight to Hollywood Studios. We have 2 reservations at HV:a 4:50 and a 5:35, I was wanting to keep the 4:50, in hopes that we would be done with enough time to try to get a spot at Fantasic. The day in question is a level 5 day. Do you think it is possible after the parade to make it to HS in time for our 4:50 meal? We will also be using the bus service, not driving ourselves.
You’ll make it there just fine. If you’re watching the parade from Main Street it should reach you by about 3:20; it will last about 15 minutes. You’ll be on your way by 3:45 giving you over an hour to get to HS (It shouldn’t take an hour).
What time is Fantasmic on your night in question? Even a 5:35 should allow you plenty of time to get to the show I would think.
My question has more to do with timing of the meals in relation to hunger. What time is your Tony’s meal? For us, a big lunch and then a big dinner would be too much at once.
Tony’s is at 11:30. Fantasmic is at 7pm…in your experience how early do we have to be there to try to find a spot? Do you think with the Jingle Bell Jingle Bam show at roughly the same time we might luck out to easily find a spot even with the later time? (We originally liked the later time since lunch is a bigger meal)
11:30 and 5 still close for our family but maybe not bad for yours Everyone’s preferences are different.
For Fantasmic, we arrived maybe 15 minutes ahead and sat ?Simba section. I know there are people who will say you need to sit front and center for the show but we had great viewing from where we were, a little bit to the right of center.
That being said even a 5:35 gives you 2+hours to dine and still get to Fantasmic 20-25 mins ahead of the show.
I am not sure the impact the two shows running at essentially the same time has had on seating. CL5 you say?? I think you’re fine regardless
