Fantasmic in October 2013

I had the opportunity to see Fantasmic in the first week of October.  It's been a while since I last watched Fantasmic.  I watched the show from the front, stage left.  Instead of explaining what I saw, I'm going to show you short video clips so that you can experience Fantasmic the way I saw it.

Watching Epcot's Illuminations from the bridge connecting the African Outpost and China

Epcot's nighttime fireworks show, Illuminations Reflection of Earth, is a great show to end your visit to Epcot.  It's designed to be seen anywhere around Epcot's World Showcase.  However, most people see this show around the entrance to the World Showcase, around France, around the American Adventure, around Italy, around Germany.  Those places tend to be super crowded.  I tend to like watching this without the crowds.  One place that I favor watching this is at the bridge that connects the African Outpost to China.  The ends of the bridges make the perfect table for putting your food and drinks.  I took some pictures of the fireworks from that spot so that you can see my view of the fireworks.

Frontierland Band

I was playing the Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom game in Frontierland on one of the days during the first week of October 2013 when I ran into a performance of the Frontierland Band.  They are a three piece band consisting of two banjo players and a tuba player in western costumes.  Besides being great musicians, they are great comedians, making jokes and entertaining the kids and the parents that are around.  I took a video of them with my Samsung Galaxy S3.  Enjoy.
