I was very disappointed when we saw the show in Aug. We actually paid for the seats, great food, but Fantasmic was no better than WDW which is free for seats. I really don't think even the appearance of the dragon could substantiate their $60.00 per person seat charge, but people pay it, including me.

People pay it because its the convenience of not having to stake out a spot at 4:30 for a 9:00 show. While I understand that people want to enjoy the show and get as good a view as possible, I really wish Disney would limit the time you are allowed to start "reserving" a spot for the show. It's so annoying to show up and be told that the space you just sat down at is reserved by 1 person holding it for 10 people. This is also a pet peeve I have at the movies.

The premium viewing seats are well worth the money. The dessert box is yummy AND the fact that you don't have to stake out a seat an hour before is great.
I personally LOVE the fact that the how is on the Rivers of America with no seats ... and although I haven't ever done the show at WDW several of my friends prefer the DLR version because of how the staging is better at DLR. I have been to WDW and every time I just kind of avoid Fantasmic since I love the original.
