Also, is Fantasmic still showing over the winter, and is is showing in the middle of the week or just weekends? And what is that I red about special balcony seating for it. Where do I find that and do you pay seperate? And how about the Electical Light Parade ( I don't know the official abreviation for this) is it still showing. Any help on bringing me up to speed with the ins and outs of DL, I would be much appreciative of.

The Balcony seating cost $56 for adults, and you should reserve 30 days in advance, as seating is very limited. The DEP (Disney's Electrical Parade) is currently on Hiatus, it is scheduled for a 2 week run in late December at DCA, then once again to go on Hiatus until summer of 2006.

We took our three children this past winter (ages 8, 6 and 2 at the time) and they just loved it. I thought for certain my 2 yr old would fall asleep, but she was captivated the entire time. This is well worth it IMHO. There is also riverside seating but I have never done this. I think children get a little break in price for this arrangement.

Originally Posted By mickeynewe Just as a heads up....my best friend just did the riverside seating with her family. She told me that the price was the same for an adult/child. She said when she was talking to the Planner she had the choice of where to go. Here are the differences according to the CM she spoke to: The balcony is obvious, its up high. They serve better desserts, but actually the view is not as good. The riverside gives you the best view as it is up close and personal. The desserts are still really good, but not as many choices/fancy as what is served up on the balcony. I know they chocolate dipped strawberries, chocolate dipped rice krispy mickeys, a chocolate cake-like cookie filled with raspberry and topped with chocolate, and a few other "hand" desserts. Hope the info helps. Please remember, all this is second hand info from my friend. Haven't had the pleasure of experiencing it yet myself!

Originally Posted By Lisann22 I think you made a wise decision Sierra. I've always received the $10 difference on kids when doing the Riverside. Try and get their early enough to snag the unobstructed seats at the very end for the kids.
