Fantasmic, How is it going? With fewer shows. Crowd control?

Anyone working Fantasmic, or hear any stories about the cut-back in shows?

I've heard the stories of folks coming from the dinner package only to find their section filled, by guest that stampeded and broke into the roped off section.

Any update?

Thanks :p:

I knew that they had cut down on shows, but that's bad. Looking forward to seeing it again this summer. Last time we went, we got rained out 3 nights in a row.

Our last trip we didn't get to see it. Too much rain and not enough shows I guess.

Seriously, if it rains, down here in CA, Disneyland will cancel out Fantasmic!

It's different in WDW, when it rains, they have a rain show with just water projections.

They no longer have the Diner Guests enter from the bypass, they now have to come from Sunset Blvd.

Normaly they have the ropes set up like a funnel with a gate keeper... they must respond that they are the key holder in order to get in..... well maybe not the last part... but they did have to show proof that they are put of the dinning package.

Last time I worked their, their was not any mad rush to get in their... but if they canned a show due to weather.. i can see that happening!!!
