Love it - Love it - Love it! [img]graemlins/clappy.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/clappy.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/clappy.gif[/img]

It is my favorite evening production. I’m a huge Sorcerer Mickey fan - so this is absolute entertainment candy for me. There’s characters, lasers, lights, fire, music, movies and lots of magic to behold.

Our first park evening is always spent at Fantasmic!. My favorite part is the ending. "Now you will deal with MY imagination!" Once again - good wins over evil. Hooray Mickey!

Is this a *must do* for you? If so; What is your favorite section of the show?

I can not say enough about this show. I had never seen it and I just got the chance this past trip. I sat thru the whole show with my mouth wide open. It was so amazing and lovely! It almost made me cry at the end.

The only thing I would do diffrent is to sit higher up. We sat about 6 rows from the front and we got sprayed a couple of times.

I love this show!!!! Now I see why people stand in line for 2 hours to see it!

This is absolutely my favorite night time show. We missed it our 1st trip, but after seeing it the next time. It is one thing I will not miss.

I can't pick just one favorite part. It's just too good all the way around!

Fantasmic has to be seem to be believed. I love it. My favorite part is when the lake catches on fire. I have a fantasstic photo of it in my album.

This is quite simply the best show I have ever seen. The pyrotechnics, the other visual effects and the music just can't be beat.

I too am a huge fan of Mickey as the Sorcerer, so Fantasmic is special to me also. I love that so many Disney characters are in one show! The music is great. I listen to my Fantasmic CD all the time. Can't wait to take my sons for the first time in March! I'm sure they will love it! [img]graemlins/clappy.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/clappy.gif[/img]

Great show! I was simply astounded the first time I saw it. There is not a dull moment in the entire show!

[SgtTigger]

Love it.... The best part is when mickey is taking back his imagination and tinkerbell comes flying on the water screen. You just get that great feeling when you see her and eveything is going to get better. [img]graemlins/clappy.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/clappy.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/mickey.gif[/img]

Definately a favorite for me! My favorite scene is when Maleficent comes and turns into the dragon, and then at the end with all of those switching Mickeys! [img]graemlins/mickey.gif[/img] A must see if I do say so myself.

I must agree with everyone's posts regarding Fantasmic, but with a disclaimer. My DH, DD, and I saw Fantasmic last year based on the rave reviews it was getting from our fellow resort attendees. I absolutely loved it - especially how they projected movie images on to the water sprays - AWESOME!! [img]graemlins/notworthy.gif[/img]

However, My 3 yr. old DD DID NOT like this production! In fact, she was scared silly. This show might be way to intense for little ones, especially during the "darker" moments of the show ie: The pre-mentioned Dragon episode - scare city!!

My husband ended up taking my little one out of the show early and I stayed to video tape what he missed. So just a word of caution on this attraction - keep the little ones away.

We saw Fantasmic for the first time on our last trip in Sept. There are not enough words to describe how AWESOME this show is. This show will now be added to our list of "must see" attractions on our WDW vacations!

I have to say that it is my favorite nighttime show! [img]graemlins/clappy.gif[/img] I LOVE IT!!! Hope it will win again. [img]graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/clappy.gif[/img]

This is a one of a kind, fabulous show. My FAVORITE part has to be when I first saw the character boat light up!!! Is there anything better than the very first time you see that and don't even expect it??? It is pure Disney magic, just fantastic.

[SpecJoe Magic]

One of the most amazing productions in the history of shows. Well worth the wait. This show is so good that it is hard to describe the magnificence of it to someone who has not seen it. One of the top 10 things to experience at WDW in my opinion. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

When do you guys get there... and what is your favorite section?

I don't have a favorite section. Just don't set close to the front unless you want to get a little wet. If you go to the late show, you should have no problem getting a seat because it seems like most people like to go to the early show. If you go to the late show, getting there 30 minutes before the show should be plenty of time. However, if you go to the early show, I recommend you get there about an hour or maybe a little more before the show starts. It all depends on what time of the year you will be at WDW. Peak crowd times usually dictate having to get to Fantasmic earlier.

Fantasmic! is an absolute must on every trip to WDW. It is quite possibly the greatest Disney production ever. My favorite parts are the beginnig and the ending. [img]graemlins/muscles.gif[/img]

I have never seen Fantasmic!! I know it sounds hard to believe, but on all of my WDW trips, we have traveled with an infant or small child, who really couldn't stay out past 5 or 6 without passing out, we always had to skip all the nighttime activities. But, for my next two trips, May and December, it will finally be my time!

[EmsMom1989]

We saw this for the first time last week and it is wonderful! Must add a tidbit about all the long lines.......we avoided them entirely by having a dinner reservation at H&V (great buffet by the way) and then had preferred seating for the show and did not have to stand in any line at all. We just walked from H&V straight to our seats. Even though park attendance was low the day we were there, the stadium filled up, this may have been because there was only one show.

I've only seen Fantasmic! once. I didn't enjoy it all that much when I did (I thought it was a little... well... odd). Of course, our very own Fantasmic got wind of that and she proceeded to yell at me for a while... (speaking of whom... she hasn't seen this thread yet? )

Since I got in trouble for not likeing Fantasmic ( ) I've listened to the music of the show a few times and it's starting to grow on me. I'll go see it again on my next trip to WDW (unlike my 2 most recent trips).
