Friday, July 17, 2015 | Posted by OTPN Administrator During a test at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Guests attending Fantasmic! will be encouraged to visit a FastPass+ kiosk prior to show time for a same-day FastPass+ ticket with a specific section, row, or seat. During this test, pre-arrival and onsite FastPass+ selections (via the My Disney Experience site/app) will not be available for the show. Guests will have to visit a FastPass+ kiosk once inside the park in order to receive a FastPass+ ticket for that day’s show.The test schedule is currently expected to be divided into three parts:Seat test: July 21-22Row test: July 23-24Section test: July 27-28On the first day of each test, Fantasmic! Guests will receive a FastPass+ ticket with their section, row, or seat. On the second day, Guests will receive a FastPass+ ticket with their section, row, or seat and will also be able to view a theater map at the kiosk.If a Guest arrives more than 35 minutes prior to show time and FastPass+ tickets are still available, Cast will direct the Guest to the nearest FastPass+ kiosk to receive their FastPass+ ticket.Some frequently asked questions regarding this test: Do I need a FastPass+ ticket with a specific section, row or seat to attend the show?No. However, if you do not have a FastPass+ ticket, you will need to wait in the standby line. Can I book a FastPass+ selection for Fantasmic! through My Disney Experience? During this time, FastPass+ selections will not be available on My Disney Experience for shows on July 21-25, July 27-29 and Aug. 11-13. However, you can still visit a FastPass+ kiosk prior to show time in order to receive a FastPass+ ticket that includes a specific section, row or seat. I already booked a FastPass+ selection. Can I still use my entitlement during this period? If you already booked a FastPass+ selection on My Disney Experience, please enter the Fantasmic! theater through the Tower Gate (located near the Tower of Terror gift shop) to redeem your entitlement. I visited a FastPass+ kiosk and received a FastPass+ ticket with my seat. When should I return? We recommend you return anytime within 15-35 minutes prior to the show.

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Interesting. What I want to know is where the seating will be. The current FP+ areas aren't that great, and you can get better seats showing up and claiming your own. Also, assigning seats like this will make the seating areas crowded. I like to find a spot in the theater where it's not totally packed and we can have some extra room. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
