I noticed Handicap seating once, how is the view from there? (we do have a handicap person in our party) I appreciate any help. thanks
Originally Posted By DlandDug The dessert seating is a very special splurge. It's a bit pricey, but there is peace of mind knowing you can walk up just before the show and have a clear view. The food is great, too. The handicapped area has a good view, as far as I know. I assume you would need to get there earlier, as it is first come, first served. For general seating, the best view is from right down front, where people stake out spots for hours and hours. A spot that often fills in late is right behind the center light tower. It is kept on the ground until the spotlight operators take their place, a few minutes before the show starts. Space behind this is often overlooked because it looks like it is blocked. But as soon as the light tower starts to raise, it fills up immediately. It is also possible that people who know about this will fill the area before the tower is raised. Views from the sides are also not as bad as many assume. There are three big water screens, so the video can be seen. The new dragon also looks amazing in profile. Best wishes in seeing this show with your kids! (P.S. Immediately following the show, head into Pirates of the Caribbean. The line will be negligible, and when you get out the huge crowd will have dissipated.)
Originally Posted By out numbered mom Thank you sooo much. I am still confused by the center light tower. I remember hearing about that before, but i don't know where that is. I have tried to look for the place during the day on past visits, just for interest sake, and couldn't find where people where talking about. Can you help with exactly where you are talking about?

You will find one tower, in the center, that appears to be sitting on the ground. It is simply waiting to be raised into position, after the spotlight operators have climbed aboard. They do this shortly before show time. (Otherwise the operators would be stuck up in the air for a couple of hours.)
