I hate the Fantasmic stadium

You should work for Disney. Do you?!

No comment.

Nemo doesn't fit in TL and you shouldn't make assumptions I was in DL last May for 5 days so you are wrong. Also it is a pirate ship for the show, read what I wrote I never said the Columbia doesn't fit (imo it would work better in WDW with Liberty Square) I just don't think Fantasmic fits in FL.

Oh, okay, it sounded like you were very unfamiliar with Disneyland and had never been. I take it you didn't get a chance to ride the Columbia then? It's my favorite way to travel the Rivers of America, if you didn't already guess! :lol: And you are right, since the Columbia left Boston Harbor in the 1780's, it would work great in Liberty Square. You'd need to ask WDW management why they've never added it to the roster of attractions at Magic Kingdom.

Fantasmic! was created first for Disneyland in '92, and I think it fits fabulously on the Rivers of America. But really, the viewing is almost entirely in New Orleans Square, with just a small section in the Frontierland area. The pre-show mood on the river just works great, with the little jazz band out there floating around on the raft as the pre-show. It's a beautiful setting!

But then I also happen to think the big fireworks shows with a flying Tinkerbell over a European Castle work wonderfully at the end of Main Street USA set during the turn of the 20th century, so what do I know?!

I, personally like the show @ DL better... not crazy about Pocohontas, I guess. The stadium at WDW rocks, tho. At DL, you sit on the ground (where your caboose falls asleep) AND no back so you get hit both ways. Aside from those untolerable tour groups that did their best to ruin the show last time I went, the overall experience @ DHS is far better. I waited for 2 hours for a seat and would do it again. Granted, there's not a bad seat in the house but I even saw the detail on the witches face, never noticed it before....

I've always liked the show, yes the stadium seats aren't the most comfortable ones around, and you have to wait to get the better seats, even though there isn't a bad seat, I like being on top in the middle. The one problem is the people who think they can do whatever they want, ie walk over all the seats to get out, get roudy, loud whatever, and I'm at Disney, I'm in no hurry, when the shows over I sit and wait for the mob to leave and then I just take my time leaving, the park looks great when there's next to no one there
