Fantasmic and other shows?

Hi my daughter is severely sight impaired so close as possible to the front is what we'd ideally need. Do we just ask a cm as we enter or do they have areas reserved?

there are lots of steps down to the front of Fantasmic, don't know if that will be a problem for her?

You can watch it from the top, in the reserved seating for disabled, or you might be able to watch it right from the front if you get there early enough, there is a path at the far end you can get to the very front avoiding steps. We watched it from the very front one year.

Sorry just bumping. Anyone with any experience of a similar situation? Fantasmic disability section is at the back! No good to us really. Is it just a case of getting there early? Not just Fantasmic, any of the shows, help and advice greatly appreciated.

Hi The Beauty & the Beast show at HS, if you arrive about 30 mins before the show you can get right at the front, within almost touching distance of the stage. It is a series of slopes to get down to the front (easier getting down, a bit of a push coming back up) Worth it for the view. Hope this helps.

Edited at 10:00 AM. Reason: Disability seating for shows

When we went we explained to one of the CMs, and they will escort you down. It does get quite hot down the front from the special effects etc, but is great. Only problem is it takes ages to leave, but the CM came back for us and escorted us out, helping us through the crowds. On most of shows if you explain on going in they will do the best they can, especially if they can 'see' the disability.

Brilliant thanks She will have her cane so I'm sure they will help.
