Fantasmic Seating/Disneyland Questions

[spectroaddy]

I am a WDW vet. My family and I have booked a vacation at Disneyland for June 25th thru June 30th!!! We are very excited about this trip, its our first time on the west coast. My question is how far in advance do you have to book the Fantasmic seating??? (hope its showing during our stay) Also, what exactly do get with the package??? The best seats??

Another question, I know we are going in the summer, what days are best?? And any first timer tips (3 adult 1 child age 10) anything would help!!!

Again, thank you to all who helped me plan this perfect vacation for my family!!! Thank you!!!

Ok since Im first, i dont know about priority seating for Fantasmic! call guest relations, phone number is in disneyand forum under contact information, What you get I do know, either the balcony seating or by the third tower seating, huge dessert platters, all you can eat, all you can drink coffee and hot chocolate, sodas too. and 2 hostesses at your whim per area, padded seats. Days that are best are tuesdays and wednesday in the week, but since its summer we can sell out easily, expect big crowds because of summer, the 50th and convention center expo's. Good idea if your going in the morning most people go to the right through tomorrowland and work their way around, it would be best to go through adventureland and around that way Also keep an eye out for Pirates reopening June 26th as well as Blue Bayou coming back into operation. Also a good breakfast is in Goofys Kitchen, where characters come out and greet while you eat, Another information thats good is use the trip planning guide on disneyland.com, figure out what you would like to do, make a wish list, and make time to rest every so often, take a break, sit down, enjoy the park and its atmosphere. Also use the call boards located by plaza pavilion over in Disneyland and the enterance to Paradise Pier over at DCA to jusge the current wait times, and information on the days goings on. Hope this helps, and come by and see me!

My Aunt just did the Fantasmic! desert thing in November. She said it was amazing and totally worth the price! She said the food was great, and so were the seats! I would call now to make a reservation! If you decide to do it, please let us know how it was! Have fun

If you want a cheaper though more time-consuming option, stake out a seat on the outdoor deck of the Riverbelle Terrace (I think that's what that restaurant is called across from Rivers of America) a few hours before, and you'll have a great view.

Can someone tell me when the best time to go to Disneyland
Thanx Disneygal05

That all depends on what is the most important thing to you.

Longer hours
Lower attendance
Christmas decorations
Cooler weather
Warmer weather
More attractions open
What night time shows do you want to see...

The possibilities are endless.

For me it is July...always July. It is warm and there are big audiences, but the attractions are operating and you have all the night time shows to choose from. Not to mention the wonderful long hours. Disneyland is open from 8:00 am- 12:00am. It is great!!!

Fantasmic will be on hiatus from the 22nd to the about the 28th for the pirates premiere, so I would book for after that. I have done the balcony and it is fabulous!! We still watch the DVD I made of that performance. Stay on site if you can, it allows you time to get breaks in during the afternoon. We will be there ourselves during that time, and have gone during this time in year past, and have found it to be a pretty good time to be there.

^That is understandable, but I wish it was still there!
