Dear Kraig,
Thank you so much for stopping by to see us here at the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your great question about planning for your upcoming time at Disney's Hollywood Studios!
You have asked an awesome question, and I know that you will be happy with either option! That being said, if I had to choose just one, I would definitely choose the
Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! Holiday Dessert Party at Disney's Hollywood Studios! The viewing area for Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! is much different than that of
Fantasmic!, which has much more seating. With Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM!, you will be escorted to a viewing area after you have had your fill of delicious desserts. That viewing area is really ideal for a perfect view of the show.
With Fantasmic!, there is just so much space for everyone that I really don't believe that you need anything special to get a great seat, as long as you arrive at least a half hour ahead of the show!
Hope that helps with your magical planning!
