Yeah, I got video of the big wave and it's pretty cool to see. It was a lot of fun... for the first 15 minutes. Then yah, it gets boring fast. But that's just as funny to see how big the wave is then over a couple minutes there are less and less people doing it. There are open spots in the wave, or just flat out dead spots. It's pretty funny.
If your not doing the wave, what else does everyone do while waiting for Fantasmic to start? Usually I do an awful lot of people watching or spend a lot of time talking with my wife or friends.

*Acting like the Cheshire Cat* You may have noticed, I'm not all here, myself.
Those are good songs to sing to as well.
Does anybody remember when they would play the Louis Armstrong version of "When You Wish Upon A Star" before Fantasmic? And does anybody know if there's a CD that might have that track on it? Any help will be appreciated.

Not old, just vintage.
Sitting at Fantasmic is an excellent time to do people watching. WDW in general is great for people watching but Fantasmic is the best because of there being so many people crammed in one area. I do really miss the pre-show entertainment...I especially loved the old "tourist" couple that used to make entire rows of people get up so that they could get to seats smack dab in the middle of the row. Bring back the pre-shows!! I am also known to do a fair amount of singing along with the music too...I have even be known to do some dancing

We usually get to Fantasmic early so we get good seats in the center, then one of us will make a run to the food counter to get turkey rollups :slurp: for us to have for dinner. Of course, we only give a cursory hand wave if the wave starts while we are still eating. We have always met great people by starting conversations with those around us, and really enjoy watching all the people in the crowd. There is usually someone sitting near us who has never seen Fantasmic before, so we spend a lot of time reassuring them that it will be worth the wait. I love seeing their faces when the show is finished and they say "WOW!!!!" proving that it was indeed worth the wait.

We usually get there as early as they will let us so we can get the best seats. Then someone will go get some food and we play war or some other card game until the place gets full and the wave starts. We always talk to the people around us. I have met some really cool people from all over the place and one time I even sat next to a little girl who was hard of hearing so I talked to her in sign language which is something I rarely get to do. She didn't think she'd like Fantasmic but I kind of explained what it was and she got more excited. I just love meeting people and the wait before Fantasmic always seems to do the trick!

The two guys that were mentioned earlier with the juggling/comedy/balancing on chairs act is one of the most amazing things i have ever seen. I have most of it on tape, and it was definately the best way to get ready for Fantasmic. Hands down.
Here's their lines: http://members.aol.com/_ht_a/diziago/delmoe.html
Some of the best lines:
Moe: I bet there's a hundred people in here. Oh, I got an idea. <speaks to the audience on his left> Everybody on this side over here, HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY!!!!
Left Side of Audience: HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY!!!!
Moe: I just wanted to say hey.
Delman: Put the ladder down.
Moe: Put it down?
Delman: Put it down.
Moe: <Moe begins yelling at the ladder> You are so ugly! And you're tall, and skinny, and you're a loser! Loser, loser, loser! Lo -
Delman: Do not try that at home.
Moe: Oh, no.
Delman: Nooooo! Go to Grandma's house. Bust up her place.
Moe: Her furniture is probably old anyway.
Delman: Why is there no smoking in the theater?
Moe: 'Cause there's a low ceiling.
Delman: Ohhhhhhh. <looking up> It looks so real!
Moe: Yeah, it looks like the sky, doesn't it?
Delman: Especially that moon up there.
Moe: Yup.
Delman: Hey, that must be that Disney Magic they're always tellin' us about.
Delman: Oh yeah. And if you got one o' those little red dot laser pointer things, you cannot use them things in here.
Moe: Nooooo.
Delman: Nooooo.
Moe: Tell 'em why.
Delman: You see, there's a lot o' real technical stuff out there on the mountain, and if you hit the wrong spot at the wrong time with your laser thing ...
Moe: Boom!
Delman: Kaboom!
Moe: No show.
Delman: No show. They gotta cancel the whole show. 'Cause you blew up the mountain. Yeah, I know, it'll be upsetting if the whole show gets cancelled. But it's okay, 'cause we're gonna know who it was with that laser thing, and we're gonna make that person stand out back and say good night to the rest of us leaving early.
Delman: Yeah, Moe, the chair trick is better close to the people.
Moe: Why is that?
Delman: 'Cause people is softer than concrete.
Moe: Oh yeah.
Moe: Hey, wait'll I say "Hey, people" -
Audience: Hey, WHAT??
Moe: Stop it! They're testing me, Delman.
Delman: Are you passing or failing?
Moe: I think I'm failing.
Delman: Why don't you get Hooked on Phonics? Worked for me!
Delman: Man, I love that flash photography.
Moe: Yeah, it helps me see better for about an eighth of a second.
Delman: Hey, it's kinda like juggling in a discotheque, you know?
Delman and Moe sing together like the BeeGees: Ha, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive! Ha, ha, ha, ha! <Delman and Moe stop singing, but some members of the audience keep singing "stayin' alive, stayin' alive.">
Moe: I didn't know the 70's came back.
Moe: Give me a fancy one!
Delman: Okay, here it is. <they attempt a fancy move, but drop a couple of clubs>
Delman: Hey, they didn't notice! They didn't notice! Just throw somethin'! Throw something! They didn't notice yet! Just throw something! <Moe throws his hat> Oh, good idea, good idea, throw something! Throw something! <Delman starts to take off his suspenders and lower his pants, and the crowd whistles and hollers, causing him to stop> I was gonna throw the pants, I was gonna throw the pants! I think they noticed!
Moe: Well, they noticed that! <The final fireworks from Epcot's IllumiNations show are clearly visible from the Fantasmic! amphitheatre at this point of the preshow>
Delman: Oh quick, don't look away! There's Fantasmic! right behind you.
Moe: Oh yeah.
Delman: Thank you, that was the show. Thanks for coming. Good night. Bye.

Thanks for posting the highlights of the old pre-show, Halfling418! That must have been a great pre-show and is exactly the type of thing they need to bring back!
