Hollywood studios shows

We will be doing Fantasmic and trying for the Starwars fireworks.
I am looking at the Mermaid and Beauty and the beast show and wondering if they are worth the wait in line and park time.
We will be doing the Frozen show as our daughter is still obsessed.
My little two would rather be doing rides and oldest daughter would rather be window shopping. If they are amazing then its worth it but I dont think they look it.
Is the Indy show any good ?

In Animal Kingdom we are doing Lion King for sure, possibly Nemo.

Our eldest daughter is cognitively disabled and struggles to sit still unless she is completely engrossed so if she is bored non of us get to watch it in peace haha

Personally I think they are all great shows and worth the time.

Little Mermaid is very sweet and uses black light puppets, you shouldn't have to queue much for this if at all and it's not hugely long.

B&TB is a shortened version of the story, great if they like the film. It can be quite hot in the auditorium so I prefer this one later in the day.

Indi is very loud, great if they like action type things. I've seen this so many times and would still do it every trip!

I haven't done Beauty & the Beast so can't comment. The Little Mermaid show was reasonably good, even if it is essentially an abridged facsimile of the film.

Indiana Jones is a show I still really enjoy despite having seen it so many times, but it could be problematic for your eldest as unlike the little mermaid (and I assume also beauty & the beast), there are gaps in it while they move the sets around and someone talks to the audience which might be a bit slow paced for her. Might be worth looking that one up before you commit, if you don't mind a bit of a spoiler risk, to see how you think she would cope.

There's usually only a short wait for the Little Mermaid show - basically you just wait for the next show (which I think are every 20 minutes or so?) so you might be waiting a maximum of 20 minutes. For Beauty and the Beast show we've usually just turned up at the outdoor theatre about 15 minutes before the show starts and got a seat near the back.

Both shows are good. I especially like the "Under the Sea" part of the Little Mermaid show.

The Indiana Jones Stunt show can be a bit boring in parts. I've seen it a few times and I'm not exactly keen to see it again.

The Lion King and Nemo shows at AK are also very good. The Lion King show has interactive parts in it so this keeps your interest. The Nemo show is longer than the others and more like a typical stage musical. It maybe requires a longer attention span to enjoy?
