Hi there, Linda, and welcome to planDisney! It’s awesome that you’ve found us here with this great question about your upcoming Walt Disney World Resort vacation! It sounds like you’re planning to enjoy some amazing food and incredible nighttime entertainment during your visit!
Linda, you’ll be happy to know that
Fantasmic! Is currently scheduled for 9:00 pm on January 12, 2025. With a
50s Prime Time Cafe dining reservation at 4:55 pm, you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy a leisurely dinner and then head to see the show. After you dine, you’ll be given a pass that will be your ticket to the
reserved seating area. It’s recommended that you arrive about 25 minutes in advance to make your way to your seat. If it’s a cool evening, consider bringing a warm cup of coffee to enjoy!
If you’re a big fan of fireworks, you should definitely check out my favorite nighttime spectacular at Magic Kingdom:
Happily Ever After. If you’ve never seen it, be sure to stake out a good spot in front of Cinderella Castle so you can enjoy the projections that go along with the music. If you’ve had the pleasure of viewing it before, try watching it from behind the Castle, near the carousel. Fireworks will be going off all around you and it’s generally less crowded. It’s a fun and different experience!
Linda, I hope this is helpful to you as you continue to plan your vacation. Please stop back by planDisney with any other questions you have!
See you real soon!
Jennifer
