Step 1
Read your Navigator every evening so you know which shows are offered the next day. The Navigator is a schedule of activities that is delivered to your stateroom each night. It lists the next day's shows and the times at which they are performed. Normally, there are two evening performances of each show to accommodate people who eat dinner at different times
-
Step 2
Arrive at the theater at least 15 minutes before showtime. Doors open 15 to 20 minutes before the show starts, and if you arrive early, you can choose a good seat. Late arrivals risk a poor seat selection; at times, the theater fills to capacity.

Step 3
Sit in one of the front rows to take full advantage of the special effects. In "Disney Dreams... An Enchanted Classic," bubbles drop down during the "Little Mermaid" sequence, and lasers enhance several scenes. In other shows, streamers shoot out over the front rows. Choosing seats in the front section puts you in the midst of these effects. Sit in the middle section, rather than the left or right wings. There is no cut-off time for seating, so guests will continue to enter the theater unless it reaches capacity. If you are sitting on the side, attendees can block your view as they walk down the aisles in search of a seat.

Step 4
Watch the "balconies" on either side of the stage. In some of the stage shows, action takes place on these balconies. Depending on the sequence, you might see animated characters or live actors. They come out onto the balconies for the curtain call, too.

Step 5
Stay until the end of the final curtain call. It might be tempting to slip out of the theater early to avoid the crowd, but if you do, you might miss a surprise like streamers or even "fireworks," depending on the show.
