Starting December 12 at the Disneyland Resort, the nighttime show of Fantasmic! will begin offering reserved viewing options and a variety delicious dining packages. Here is what can be expected.
Reserved Viewing
Reserved viewing for Fantasmic! will utilize the FASTPASS system. Similar to that of World of Color’s viewing system over at Disney California Adventure Park, here guests will use their park admission ticket to receive a FASTPASS. Each FASTPASS ticket will clearly label a select show time and designated viewing area. Distribution of FASTPASS will be located along the Big Thunder Trail in Frontierland. Guests wishing to watch the first and/or second showing of Fantasmic! will need to acquire a FASTPASS.
FASTPASS is a first come-first serve system with a limited amount of FASTPASS tickets given out per show. When the first show ends ticket distribution, the second show’s ticket distribution will begin. If you are unable to acquire a ticket, non-ticket (standby) viewing area will be available.
Note: standby viewing will be completely cleared between shows so firework viewing may not be possible following the first Fantasmic! showing.
With the new reserved viewing areas, seating on the ground sections or standing only sections will be offered. Each reserved viewing area will accommodate guests with disabilities. In addition, wheelchairs and ECVs will have accessible viewing from any of the sections. If you have any further questions about guest assistance in your viewing area, please speak to a cast member so they can accommodate you.
