Not really necessary if you don't care where you sit (FP is seated first.) Both shows are performed multiple times per day, so if one fills up you can come back for another. If there are other attractions you would like to FP do so, but if you need a 3rd, FP either of those shows.
ThanksWe have shown up standby for both and waited less than 20 minutes.
