You can get a GREAT spot for fantasmic showing up about 20 minutes before showtime. Head to the center of the Rivers of America and stand behind the tower that is not lifted off the ground (there are three total, you will see the ones on the left and right in the air and the center one on the ground). No one stands there because they think it will block their view. Well, about ten minutes before showtime, that tower lifts up giving you the perfect view right in the center of the river. Everyone runs to get a spot here after the tower goes up. Just be sure to get there BEFORE it rises and you will be shocked at how great the view is.
Oh why did you have to go and tell everyone!!! That was one of my great secrets. If we don't do the desert buffet, this is where we watch Fantasmic from.
Similar to riding with the Captain on the Mark Twain, sometimes you can get a tender ride on the trains. There are 2 of the engines that have a little seat behind the engineers. You can ask at the Main Street station if they are giving rides that day. They won't do it if they have to refuel or re-water. If you do get a ride, you have to do a whole circle as you can only get on and off at Main Street.
While strolling down Main Street, take a detour on one of the side alleys. Be quiet and listen. You may hear a piano lesson, a tourist waking up, or a dental appointment.
