Hello Madeline!
Great news! Even though
Disney After Hours at
Disney's Hollywood Studios coincides with your visit, you can absolutely catch
Fantasmic! I always suggest heading to the amphitheater about an hour before showtime to secure a good spot. If you choose the later show that day, you’ll still be able to enter the amphitheater before the park officially closes. Keep in mind, though, that on nights with after-hours events, Fantasmic! can draw bigger crowds than usual, so arriving even earlier could be a smart move.
When my family plans to experience Fantasmic!, we love going for the
Fantasmic! Dining Package. This option lets you enjoy a delicious meal at one of five fantastic dining locations (our favorite is the
50's Prime Time Cafe!) and grants you access to a VIP seating area in the amphitheater. Just remember, the dining package is tied to a specific showtime. Since there are two showings on your date, you might need to adjust your plans to catch the earlier show.
See ya real soon!
Anne
