Seriously - if you like devoting the whole evening to STANDING to get the very front row in your section, it may work out for you. Otherwise, the short family member are going to be like me, bobbing and weaving for 26 minutes to try and snatch glimpses of the action. It's not like fireworks where you get to sit while you're waiting for it. They keep coming through to make you stand. That was over 2 hours of standing we did last night, all crammed together, and that was WITH the dining package.

(Although for all I could see, we could have come almost an hour later and I would have had the same view of people's shoulders.)

And another thing - the show was at its best when it was the fountains and lights doing abstract things evocative of whatever movie was being celebrated at the moment. In my not-at-all humble opinion they should have made that the crux of the show, not the water screens. Without any plot, the clips on the screen (which were not very crisp anyhow) just seemed like a gratuitous greatest hits reel.
