Well worth the money, get there early to get a good seat or you will be standing. The kids really enjoyed it and I think the adults may have enjoyed it more.

Fantasmic! is a combination of live action and projected Disney images and movie clips on a mist screen. It features fireworks, pyrotechnics, lasers, searchlights, decorated boats, water effects and animatronics, all coordinated to various familiar sound clips taken from Disney movies and broadcasts. It is usually performed twice a night on the Rivers of America from Tom Sawyer’s Island and lasts about 25 minutes. Better seating for the reserved sections can be obtained for visitors who purchase a dining package at the Blue Bayou, New Orleans Square Restaurant, River Belle Terrace or Hungry Bear Restaurant. Our reserved area from the Blue Bayou was close to the water in the middle section and included a foam pad to sit on. The basic story is a voyage through Mickey Mouse's imagination that culminates in a battle against various Disney Villains. This show is an enjoyable experience and should NOT be missed.…

We can here with a 9 year old and a 3 year old and they couldn't manage to stay awake till the start of the show, so it ended up being just the dad solo watching it. The first day I made the mistake and didn't book a Fastpass and ended up way back, behind a tree watching the show over every ones heads from an angle. Even from there is was suitable impressive with big boat scenes and characters up in the sky. Fire and Dragons and so much more. The second day I decided to do and so booked the fast pass and then got there about 30 mintues before the start of the event... I got a great front row viewing point but they then told us that the show might not run as the wind was a little high and then 10 minutes later than cancelled the event. Was disappointing as wasted 30 minutes waiting for a show that never materialised. Short story.. Even a mild breeze, don't bother waiting for the show. As the actors are high up in the air, they won't risk running the show if there are any winds and if they are light they skip some of the fireworks..…

I have seen Fantasmic many times both at Disneyworld and Disneyland. ( I prefer Disneyland) I decided to try something new, I walked up towards the Hungry Bear and watched the behind the scenes show. Meaning the characters were staged on floats waiting quietly in the dark for their chance to float into Fantasmic. It was pretty cool. This show is always great!!! …

The Fantasmic show in front of New Orleans Square in Adventureland at Disneyland California is a must see! Hosted by Mickey with all the classic characters you always want to see. It has been updated with a new Pirates of the Caribbean portion of the show. There are two show each evening at 9pm and 10:30. The show is 30 min long. There is a standing only viewing area on the side close to Haunted Mansion. You can use a fast pass to be in a closer section to view. If you reserve a dinning package you can receive a ticket for a closer sit down viewing area closer to the water and stage. However, there are three tiers to the dinning and seating packages. The Hungry Bear Restaurant has a dining package $30 adult/$20 child meal and ticket option . This is the cheapest option. And if you have family members that want a burger and fries or might not appreciate the meal options of the other restaurants- this might be a good option. The sitting zone is close to the water and directly in front of the stage. But, you are sitting on the ground. If you book a reservation at the River Belle restaurant it is the same thing. Sitting on the ground- unless you book the PREMIERE dining reservation that has a section closer to the Cafe Orleans that you can sit in chairs further away from the water. If you book the last reservation at 8 pm. You can stay in the River Belle restaurant terrace seats to view the Fantasmic 9pm show. The Blue Bayoo restaurant also has the dinning and ticket option and the PREMIERE dining ticket option. You can book a lunch or dinner reservation to qualify for a ticket to Fantasmic. I recommend that you check the menus of these restaurants to make sure you will enjoy the food and the show.…
