Fantasmic and Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular @ DHS

[PrincessJasmyn]

Hey guys,

The night we plan on spending at DHS, they have Fantasmic and Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular on 30mins apart.

Is it possible to see both? We have booked ADR for Mama Melrose's which includes the Fantasmic FP+
It doesn't matter if we cant go from one to the other, but thought I would check too see if its been done before

Fantasmic!
9:00 PM
Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular
9:30 PM

Thanks!

Not really.

Sure, you can see the fireworks. But the fireworks are part of the projection show. To see the projections you're going to need to be closer to the Chinese Theatre.

Nah. If you want to see all of Fantasmics 26 minutes you’ll still be in the amphitheatre at nine thirty. Factor in a 10 minute walk minimum with another 7000 people to exit, then trying to get to the Chinese Theatre hub with the crowd already waiting for SWAGS.

It’s debatable how much high level pyro the fireworks show will be using too. You may not see much of it at all without being in the hub.

Anyone know why Disney schedules the shows like that, so you can't see them both without missing some of either one? I find it distracting when people leave Fantasmic early, since that spectacular show is good to the last drop.

Presumably to split the crowds. There isn't room for everyone to see Fantasmic or the Star Wars show. This way people who are in the park.in the evening can see one of the shows at the end of the day.

There are times though when they schedule them so you can see both.

Ideally they want you to come back another night. Same for the stage show schedules, especially when LMA was open.

I just love it when the answer is so blindingly obvious, you can't see it!
