    For ourselves, we get there Thursday the 3rd. We can do Fantasmic the Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. My tentative plan is to go to Fantasmic on the Friday night, late show, if my kids can stay up that late (will be 12:30 local time for us, but they will have had a mid-day rest). I want to avoid Saturday. Our only other night would be the single show Sunday the 6th at 9:00, but as an only show, I think it might be very packed. Suggestions?

    We are going this year from Nov. 6-9, then going to King Tut on the 10th. and leaving on Veteran's Day for that reason.

    My best friend and her family just did the King Tut exhibit and they said it was AWESOME and well worth going. Hope you enjoy it also!
