Jingle Bell, Jingle Bam / Fantasmic

[Baloo68]

Hi All,

I do not know if the solution to my problem was already posted somewhere, but I have a question for veteran park goers if what I have spinning around in my head is possible.

I am going to Disney World for the entire week following Thanksgiving, and have planned to go to DHS one day out of our trip. I took my girlfriend on our first trip last year and we were unable to find time to see Fantasmic. I have friends who go all the time, and they say it is a must watch and we can not miss it again. We really want to see both shows.

So on to my idea, on the day that we have planned to go to DHS Jingle Bell, Jingle Bam's start time is 6:45 pm and Fantasmic starts at 7:00 pm. Would we be able to see both shows back to back, and then make a 8:25 pm reservation at 'Ohana at the Poly, or should we see Fantasmic another night during our trip.

I know there is not a ton of info out there about the new projection show, but any suggestions for how you would approach this situation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Jingle Bell will run around 12 minutes, so you will not be able to get to Fantasmic by 7pm.

Best plan is to do one on a different night.

Welcome to WDWMAGIC!

I will be there 11/25-12/4. HS has extra magic hours one night...I think 12/2 maybe? Not sure but you may want to try to hop over on that night to catch whichever show you miss the first time.

Hi,

Thanks for the welcome. I love the site, I have been following the rumor and trip planning forums for several months, I just haven't mustered the courage to post anything until a few weeks before we go back to the WDW.

I appreciate your suggestion. I will move a reservation that we have later in the week to make it work. Thanks Again!

I took the wdwmagic administrator's suggestion and made the following change to our trip. I had a reservation on Thursday 12/1 at Chefs de France in Epcot at 6:40 pm that I moved to 8:40 pm. So we will go see Fantasmic at 7 then take the boat, bus, or walk through the boardwalk to International gateway and France.

I appreciate your response, maybe we will cross paths that week in Orlando 21stamps. Enjoy your trip!

Sounds a great plan, timing should work out well.
