Night Time Spectaculars at DisneyLand & California Adventure

[WDW_Fan]

Hi Dibbers,

Everyone has always been really helpful on the boards every time i've asked any questions...so here's a few more:

We're going to Anaheim at the end of January 2020 and we're looking at planning a couple of days at both the Disney Parks. To help with planning i'm looking at what days each of the parks schedule their night time spectaculars.

Do they usually run them every night or do they run them specific nights during this time of year?

Thanks in advance.

Hey we’ll be there too!
Typically I would recommend at LEAST get a fp for world of colour the machines are next to the little mermaid ride get there nice and early it doesn’t impact any other fast passes for the day. I think I’m going to surprise my wife with a dining package - it gets mega busy at the front. For fantastic we got there about 45 minutes early and stood at the haunted mansion side of the viewing area and had a great view it’s worth noting that Adventureland is a night mare from about 30 mins to showtime until 30 minutes after.

I do Fantasmic Blue Bayou Dining package every year. When I check in at the host I ask for a water side table, usually only a 10 minute wait.

For Fantasmic with Blue Bayou you get a foam cushion

The Fantasmic viewing section is right down by the water, centered on the Fantasmic stage.

I usually get right down by the railings, this is the view

You are sitting on the ground for the show which is why with Blue Bayou you get a cushion.

The other dining packages, Hungry Bear and River Belle are also at the front, sitting on the ground but you dont get a cushion.

I go to Disneyland in the summer when there are 2 shows. When I go to the first show, I stay at the railings for the Castle fireworks. They play the fireworks music and show the Castle projections on the fountain mist.

Oh, I've booked Blue Bayou but didn't know you could get a dining package for the show with it. Better go and take another look.
