Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
Tower of Terror and Little Mermaid or Star Tours. Visit the anytime attractions in the af-
ternoon when crowds are heaviest, prioritizing the shows that run on a set schedule. Vis-
it characters in the last 60-90 minutes they're scheduled to appear. End the evening with
Fantasmic! or visit Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, Tower of Terror, and Toy Story Midway Mania
(in that order) in the final hour when waits are shorter. Disney will allow guests to enter the
line and ride any operating attraction right up until official park close regardless of posted
wait time.
Evening Entertainment: Fantasmic!
Hollywood Studios' night-time spectacular Fantasmic! is scheduled at least once almost
every night. During busier times, a second show is scheduled 90 minutes after the start of
the first, and the most crowded days of the year can see three shows. Shows can start as
early as 6:30pm or as late as 10pm. If two shows are scheduled, the second will always be
less crowded, especially if it begins at 9pm or later, due to the number of families that opt
for the earlier show. If you're headed to the first or only Fantasmic!, plan to arrive 45-75
minutes early to secure good seats together. For the second show, an arrival 15-30 minutes
early should suffice. Seating is bleacher-style, uncomfortable, and without backs. The best
seats are at least half way up in the middle section. Any closer and you risk getting wet and
won't be able to see what's happening on the water. The Fantasmic Dining Package, a fixed
price meal at Hollywood Brown Derby, Hollywood & Vine, or Mama Melrose, guarantees
a seat for the show and a three-course meal. Its reserved seats are front and center. Arrive
at least 20 minutes early. FastPass+ has a reserved section next to the Dining Package sec-
tion. Because it's in Tier 1, most guests will want to use their pre-scheduled selection on
Toy Story Midway Mania or Rock 'n' Roller Coaster and either see the second Fantasmic
or check to see if the show is available as a 4th FP+ selection.
