Got in just under the wire! I have a trip the week prior.

Obviously, two shows are better than one, but how busy have the shows been recently?

First show is usually full, maybe the outermost sections somewhat filled.
The second show is really empty. They funnel guests into the 3 or 4 innermost sections.
Obviously on days with a single show, the amphitheater is packed, with the back overflow sections used.
I've only seen 2 Shows of F! on Select Nights in May. So this is not shocking. It would be if F! was just returning in April or May........

There's been a change-up in the finale when the comets with tails go off behind the mountain and Sorcerer Mickey.
They now shoot off slower and sequentially (green waits for last orange to go off, etc.), which fills up the deadspace right before Tuxedo Mickey appears at the bottom of the mountain. The pyro sequence also starts a beat and second later.
This is a huge improvement imo, and just makes the finale better than ever before. Glad to see the F! team still making adjustments to the show.
Here's a comparison video I made of the old and new finale. The change happened around March 10, along with the return of the fantasia pyro.
Also, I kinda pointed this out and suggested this exact change back in November lol.

Certainly helps. Does still feel like another couple of seconds being filled would make it perfect though. Nice to see they are still making incremental adjustments to the show.

FWIW, Ariel and Eric’s barge was missing from the 2nd show on Saturday night (which was outstanding, otherwise). However, they were both in the finale, so clearly it was an issue with the barge and not a casting issue. It made for an odd gap between BATB and Snow White.

Pleased to report that trampoline stunts have finally returned to the show tonight (4/10)! They have been missing since around Feb 6, so about 2+ months of B-mode.
Perhaps the trampoline was broken or needed some refurbishment, but glad to see it back in use again, makes the entire Aladdin hero sequence better!
Timestamped livestream from tonight:
We are also now just down to one effect that needs to return – Malificient's fireball.
This may be a lost cause for now due to safety concerns and info from people working the show.

Bummer, we do hold a lunch package for the 1st of May, how would this be handled ? We do visit DHS on the 4th again, but too late to book a package now...

Woohoo!
Does anyone know when the latest they will let you into Hollywood Studios? They officially close at 10 but have the show at 10:30
When the park closes, nobody else can get in, regardless of how late a show might be scheduled

As long as you’re in before park close, you’re good. I think the latest I ever scooted into a park was 5 minutes before close to see a second showing of MSEP during its final week.

Like park close basically. I’ve gotten into DHS at 8:55 for a 9pm close

You will be able to enter at 9:59:59 if you’d like. They’ll allow entry right up until the posted closing. I’ve often entered the park just before 10 PM strictly to see a 10:30 Fantasmic, just as you describe.
