Question Fireworks - fantasmic, happy ever after etc

Hi I am new to the forum .After some advice re evening shows. Is it worth pre-booking restaurant seats for firework/laser shows or just turning up early to get seats ? If yes, any recommendations for restaurants suitable for kids 12 and 3.

Also re water parks - would you recommend morning or afternoon? Do the sunbeds get full by noon, is it less busy - we are not averse to rain showers ..Many thanks

We have never felt the need to pre book restaurants to get into the shows. If you get to them early enough you will get a seat. There is the option to fastpass+ the shows at AK, DHS and Epcot. The first two might be worth getting a fastpass for as seating is limited, at Epcot there are many good viewing areas so I wouldn't get one for there. The downside of fastpassing the shows is that you effectively limit yourselves to just 3 fastpasses on that day.

The water parks get busy right from opening and the sunbeds get snapped up very quickly. We always go first thing as we travel in August as most showers tend to break out in the afternoon. Bear in mind that if there is lightning in the area you will not be allowed to enter the water.

Agree with Disney Den. We didn't take our seats/standing places till 8.20pm earliest for 9pm shows and we had great views of them all. Even Wishes on it's last night! We got to TL for 9.40am when it was a 10am opening and it was a nice calm time to get sorted with locker and towels and there was plentiful choice of sunbeds with parasols. We saw those arriving after lunch seemed to have much more trouble finding a good spot!
