Have you attended the Fantasmic show at Disneyland? If so, how
did you like it and would you recommend others to see this show?
If you have seen both the Disneyland and Disneyland versions of
Fantasmic which did you like better? Do you have a favorite viewing
spot for Fantasmic at the Disneyland park?
Answers posted to the list:
Fantasmic! has to be one of the greatest shows ever performed.
I would definitely recommend it to anyone. While I haven't seen
the WDW in person, I have watched videos of it and have concluded
the Disneyland version is far superior. Noteworthy aspects are the
Columbia (versus Pocahontas and the canoes), the Mark Twain (versus
the dinky "Steam Boat Willy"), and the surrounding area (versus
the stadium seating, which is more comfortable, I'm sure, but not
very thematic!). I do have a favorite spot picked out, but it's
a secret spot where nobody sits and you get the best view; so I
can't tell you! ;-)

Okay, I've got to be a total freak--I read everywhere that Fantasmic
was the one show to see, so I stood in place for hours to save a
spot. We got very friendly with our neighbors, which was cool, but
by the time the show started we were in a one foot square spot,
crowded on both sides, and we just weren't very excited by the show.
Maybe we just couldn't see very well, maybe if we'd had a better
view it would have been more thrilling, but I just didn't find it
very interesting. It's probably me, because fireworks aren't that
exciting for me either. My daughter loves fireworks, but she wasn't
that thrilled, either. Five minutes into the show, both kids wanted
to leave. I probably passed on my defective genes. :) I don't know
if we're going to bother with Fantasmic this time, but if we do
we're going to try something different! Maybe we'll pay for the
buffet.

We've seen the Disneyland Fantasmic show many times and the Disney
World one once. I like the DL one better (although I like the stadium
at MGM). The show holds together better, better dragon, better boats,
etc. The MGM one has that long pointless Pocahontas segment and
the lame paddlewheeler at the end. Plus the Columbia segment at
DL with Peter Pan is the best.

If I had my choice between seeing Fantasmic or the Fireworks...I'd
take the fireworks. I had a similar experience as Dawn. Fantasmic
was a must see. It got very late and I was tired and this was December
so it was cold (for California...and me with no coat) AND we had
to sit on the cement and we were close enough that the water sprayed
on us which made us colder. I think if I hadn't been so cold and
physically uncomfortable, I would have liked it much better. Bleachers
would be a major PLUS! but I don't see how Disneyland has any place
to put them. The Peter Pan bit was COOL though!
