We had been told that there was limited seating capacity and that it fills up quickly and so we returned in good time to ensure we got in but there was no problem for the late comers and there were spare seats, although these were at the sides.  (We visited on a Sunday in early March – it might be different in high season) For the best views you want to be in the very middle or alternatively in the middle of one of the two sides.  You can judge is when you arrive by looking at the high pillars that mark the edge of the centre area.  Towards the edges there is some slight distortion of the images.

It was completely different to any thing we had ever seen before with most of the effects being created by lights and lasers reflected onto water fountains.  Actually it would take a more skilled writer than me to describe the visions and atmosphere that was created.  We had my mother with us and she is still talking about it as the highlight of her holiday.  “It was fantastic!” she keeps saying. 

The show is set in an amphitheatre with a lake and a central island.  Without spoiling the plot or any of the surprises the story tells of Mickey’s dream and nightmare where a vast number of the good and then bad Disney characters fight for dominance.  The water displays are interspersed with activity on the island or on the water.  However, the experience is greater than the sum of its parts and it really appealed to all ages.  

There are no problems about returning to a park later in the day and you don’t have to pay for parking again.  It is also a good opportunity take some more rides or see some of the attractions again.
