Fantasmic! to Add Seating



If you've ever seen Fantasmic!, you understand why I'm really excited about the 1000 seats that are being added to the amphitheatre at Disney's Hollywood Studios. With limited showings in most seasons (it used to show nightly, sometimes twice nightly), it is becoming harder--meaning, you must get there earlier--to secure a seat for this ever-popular nighttime spectacular. Still, it's not all good news--these extra seats will actually occupy the area that is now "Standing Room Only," which means that to get 1000 actual seats, Disney will eliminate standing room that holds approximately 3000 standing guests. Essentially, this lowers the capacity of the venue from 9900 (6900 seated; 3000 standing) to less than 8000 (assuming the "SRO" area is eliminated altogether). Good decision? Only time will tell. As for me, I still plan to arrive early and sit on the cold, hard bleachers that extra hour to make sure I get a seat for the show!
