Recent Fantasmic Experience?

If you plan on eating at HS anyway, have you looked into the dinner packages that have Fantasmic seating? They are free, you just have to remember to request the Fantasmic option when booking the ADR.
I wouldn't burn an FP+ credit on Fantasmic, my personal opinion. There is reserved FP+ seating (in the center, I believe), but the Dinner Package has similar seating.
I'm not going to be doing many TS meals since I'll be alone and on a budget, so that's not an option for this trip. I've seen a few people say the reserved seating is gone now.

It was there in August...but, yeah, they've been making so many changes, it could be gone. You'd need input from someone who went more recently than I. Even so, I still don't think it's worth using a FP+ for...you'll still need to show up early, so I'm not seeing the benefit...

Its not gone, just not really worth it. Neither is burning a FP on F!. I'd just go and be there about 30 minutes early. We used a FP for it in October and it was useless. We still got sent in with the mass of people that were going in without one. Yes, FP gives you "middle" seating, but it isn't worth wasting a FP.
It'll be either the day before or after Thanksgiving (I can't remember), so you still don't think it's worth it, even with the crowds?

That day may be very, very crowded. On a heavy day like that you may be waiting for a while. Now I am not sure if it would help or not. It would be nice if you could show up early with the FP and get them to let you in before the massive crowd is allowed in so you could choose your seats, but I don't think they do that.

Are you certain of that? Last I recall all recent visitor posts stated that was no longer the case. It certainly once was, but as of October, folks were saying it was not the case any longer.

I'm with @englanddg ; I don't think it's worth it, especially since that's a tier 1 attraction I believe, so you could be using that FP on Rock 'n Roller Coaster or TSM. I would get it for TSM; Rock 'n Roller Coaster has a singles line. I think TSM does too, but that line is still insane
Also, if you do the later show and show up in plenty of time, I don't think you will have an issue

I've not seen where it's changed, but as I said, I'm NOT sure about that. It was there in August, so I can't say if it is or isn't there now.
Some are saying it is still there, some are saying it's not. In either case, the OP has said she's not interested in using it. So, it's neither here nor there. It's how I prefer to do Fantasmic, so that was my suggestion.
I actually made my FP+ before that started so I was able to get FP for Fantasmic, ToT, and TSMM.

No Rock 'n Roller Coaster?

On November 5th when we were there, there was no reserved section for FP+ Fantasmic anymore.

They must have just stopped this then because it was in effect on October 18th. It seemed kind of silly to even have it in the first place.
Oh good.
RnRC gives me a headache. I can take it or leave it.

I hear a lot of people say that actually. As a migraine sufferer, I can relate; one of the reasons I really don't like Mission Space. Screen kept flicking off randomly last time and I came off feeling very motion sick and had a horrible headache.

So then what is the point of FP? They tell you to arrive as late as 15 min before showtime, and the theater is routinely full by then. So you'd show up with a FP and be SOL?

We were there tonight and there was not a special section for FP, only dining package.
So where did you sit if you showed up 15 minutes before the show and there was no reserved seating? Like @ISTCNavigator57 mentioned, wouldn't the place be packed by then?

I'm really not understanding how this works without reserved seats.
