My question is: is is better to go earlier in the day or later in the afternoon (last show is 5:15)? Can you get any kind of reservations or does it matter? How early should we show up? I don't want to miss this!

There are a few Billy experts that will help you, so wait for their answers. Every now and then you'll see "Reserved" on tables up front, but I have no clue how to get reservations. I always thought you had to be "Dreamed" or something. The best way to get a good seat is to go in early. ANY show at any time of day is a great show (to me). It just doesnt seem to matter. Have a fantastic time! And give us your report afterwards when you have a moment! xoxo

Originally Posted By TheTROLL It's best to see one of the earliest shows as they fill up or are completely full ( standing room only) by the last 3 shows. There are no more reserved signs set out on the tables. Once in a while you may see a sign, but they aren't usually there due to the Year of a Million Dream's being over. You should get there about 1/2 an hour sometimes more befor each show if you want a good seat. The wait is well worth it and you will deffinately enjoy this show! If you'd like thier autographs or your picture taken with the Billies, they will happily oblige. Just ask.

While I am waiting, DH gets the drinks and snacks from the little area outside the Golden Horseshoe where the lines are much shorter. Elvis Billie is the best!
Originally Posted By Lovin the Billys I highly recommend this show to everyone who visits Disneyland! You should catch the first show as it's probably the least crowded. Also, sometimes after the show some or all of the Billys come out and mingle with the crowd! Arrive at least 30 minutes before a show, find a good table and get in line early if you want to purchase any vittles - I LOVE the mile high chocolate cake! If you are there numerous days you might want to take in at least two shows. No two are exactly alike - the ad lib interaction with the crowds is usually hilarious! But note this: there are no Billy Hill shows on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but the Laughing Stock performs on those days and they are really good, too! The guys are all wonderful musicians and mix that with the comedy, laughs and, dare I say it, the pros-teeth-ses, and you have the best show in Disneyland!!! But that's just MY opinion! LOL Be sure to have your cameras ready! <--- aka Disneylandfan8!

Once the Horseshoe is open for the day, there are no lines to go in for the other shows.
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 ^^good point. Once the Golden Horseshoe is open for the day the door it is open for the rest of the day. You can always pop in during off times and check it out. It's really pretty inside. The food service line tends to be really slow. You can take food or drinks from other places in with you. We like to sit in the balcony

Originally Posted By TheTROLL Yes sometimes the line for food inside the Horseshoe is a bit slow. You can however, order food and drink right next door at the Stage Door Cafe. It's attached to the GHS right outside. You can walk out of the GHS and stay on the Wooden walkway and it will take you right to it. You can pretty much order what they have inside the GHS there all but a few items.

Our concensus is that the 1st show they are just warming up, the second and third shows are the best and the last one they are getting tired. No matter when you go I am sure you will have a good time. And that chocolate cake is to die for.
