The best views are towards the middle and rear of the theater. There aren’t really any bad seats, but some of the 3D effects may be hard to make out if you sit too close.
 
Having trouble seeing the 3D effects? It usually helps to try and focus on where the action is supposed to be happening (e.g., a few feet in front of you). Some people try to focus on the screen itself, making the effects somewhat blurry and hard to make out.
 
If you wear glasses, the 3D glasses should fit over them without too much trouble (if you wear glasses it is particularly important that you try to sit further back; that will make the 3D effects easier to see).
 
The best way to ensure a seat in the middle of a row is to let a lot of people in ahead of you when the doors open. When you enter a row you need to continue to move all the way across to make room for everybody. By letting people in before you enter, they should fill in the far end of the row, thereby enabling you to sit in the middle.
 
By the way, don’t stop midway through the row if there are seats available, it’s rude! If you do other folks won’t be able to find a seat (assuming the theater is at or close to capacity), and you’ll just have to move over anyway. The last thing you want is for you to be the reason the show is delayed!
 
A few minutes before the doors open you’ll hear Minnie and then Goofy give you some last minute instructions. If you want to let a large group of people in ahead of you, this is the time you’ll want to hang back a bit as everyone starts to shuffle for position in front of the soon to be opening doors.
 
It doesn’t make a big difference which door you enter, you’ll be able to pick the row you want to sit in without too much trouble. Roughly speaking, the doors to the left will put you closer to the front, but you’re free to pick the row of your choosing. Just be sure your group stays together!
 
If you are touring with a group, it’s very helpful for everyone to know the plan of where you’d like to sit so there’s no confusion once you enter the theater (for example, if you intend to let a large group of people in ahead of you to ensure a seat in the middle, make sure everyone knows so there isn’t any confusion).
 
Keep in mind, (especially if you’re touring with small children), that even though you can leave the theater during the show if you need to, you won’t be able to reenter.
 
Mickey’s Philharmagic is a FastPass attraction. If the standby wait time is 15 minutes or less, you just have to wait for the previous show to let out. If the lines are longer and you do use a FastPass, keep in mind that this will put you in the group that will see the next show. Depending on when you arrive that can still mean a wait of 10-15 minutes. The bottom line is, use FastPass if the wait is exceptionally long (more than 30-40 minutes), but for wait times shorter than that FastPass doesn’t help you a lot. At that point it’s better to use the FastPass option for another attraction.
 
Mickey’s Philharmagic is usually open during Extra Magic Hours and other special occasions. That’s a great time to tour.
