Help!!! Please :)

So I have my entire week at Disney planned, but it works out to where I could miss Fantasmic, which is my FAVORITE thing at Disney! While I'm in Florida it is only showing on Tuesday (I will be in Tampa for a concert) and on Thursday (Epcot has EM hours this night, and I have dinner reservations at the Rose & Crown for Illuminations).

Would it be possible for me to leave Epcot at 920ish right after Illuminations and make to over to the Studios for Fantasmic at 10:30? And if so, what is the fastest way of getting there?

Any help at all will be greatly appreciated!!!

If you position yourself at the entrance to World Showcase and watch Illuminations from there, you'll be out of the park way ahead of virtually everyone else - from there you'll have no problem getting to DHS to watch Fantasmic at 1030 - Bus would probably be your best bet.

It's extremely possible, though you could run the risk of Fantasmic being all filled up, or getting blocked by people trying to do the same thing, though you'll have an advantage because you're gonna be in R&C for Illuminations. So when it ends, leave through Int'l Gateway, walk or boat to the Studios, you should be there just in time. I'd argue it's planned that way for people like you trying to do both.

I would also say leaving asap after illuminations has ended. Make sure you've settled your bill then head out international gateway which is not far from rose and crown then get the friendship boat to dhs I think it takes about 20 mins and is a lovely ride. The walk may be more than half hour.
If you arrive early at the rose and crown ask for a patio table, you may have to wait a bit longer.

While it is not too hard at all to leave International Gateway at 9:30 and walk or boat to MGM and arrive a little after 10. Getting a seat at that time for Fantasmic is questionable however.

Yeah, what ClemsonTiger said ^^^^.

Walking could be best bet. Leave through International Gateway, merge left through the Boardwalk, and take the continuing walking path around the backside of Boardwalk that borders the river until you dump out at Hollywood Studios.

A great 10 minute or so walk, if you set your pace good.
