We have balcony seating for Fantasmic on Sept. 30th! They called to let us know yesterday. I am not sure where we are seated (we were told you are seated in order of ticket purchase).

Is anyone else going to be there then?

We called vacation planning in advance, and were told they would try to get them for us.

Since it is less than 30 days out, you could order them yourself now. Let me go find the number
741 300 7526

I have done balcony seating twice. There is not a bad seat in the house. Have a wonderful time, and be prepared for a sugar high!!! :)

I'm not familiar with this and we'll be there Oct 12-15. The balcony of ?? I'm guessing this gives you a great view? And I think I remember that this is a dessert buffet type deal? Can I ask how much reservations are and how far in advance you can book? Thanks...I'm looking for something special to surprise my family with this trip, and last time we were at DL (10/03) we had terrible seats for Fantasmic! (our fault...too slow getting seated). Thanks!

I remember when you could get into the balcony for free if you knew where to go when Fantasmic first opened.

You need to call first thing at 8:00am, ONE MONTH ahead (they say 30 days, but they actually mean ONE MONTH... ie: call Feb 1st if you want March 1st time)... start dialing a little earlier than 8:00am, and keep hitting redial!

The Balcony at Disney Gallery fills up real fast (about 20 seats), and you are seated in the order of phone call. Riverside seating is available ($10 less for kids)... but the Balcony is the BEST location to watch from...imho.

Tix are $54 (last time I checked)... a bit steep for every-day stuff... but well worth it for that "special occasion"

If you book the early Fantasmic! show, they let you watch the fireworks from there, also.

The desserts are great... come hungry! :D

Good Luck!

Where do you get more info on this? The number I called was just a recording?! Is that the correct number? (I think the area code might be 714 not 741??)

The riverside seating, is it $54 for adults and $44 for kids then?

I am sorry, that is the only number I have.

I did transpose the 714, my apologies.

I've used 714-781-4400 to purchase the tickets. Keep in mind they are not refundable unless DLR cancels the show. Great view. I think it's up to $56 now.

Yes, the tickets are $56 each (ouch). I started calling before 8AM 30 days out for 9/9. I called Vac. Planning too, but they siad they ciould only "try" to get the tickets. This is the only time (probably in my life!) that I can do this. I was happy to find I was one of the first people to call! Anyone else going to be there then?

Argh!! You were the one who "stole" my balcony tickets. LOL. I was on the phone before 8 and talked to a CM by 8:05. Alas, no more tickets for my birthday. I'm taking my 12 year old for our annual mommy and me birthday trip. My birthday is on the 29th so we're going out for Friday through Sunday. But I thought the ground seating was by the water, not the Riverbelle. Are there two ground seating areas?
