X-mas Day Plans @ DHS... What would you Do?

Planning our itinerary for our upcoming trip (which is only 50 days away!!!!) Okay.... mild panic. I'm calm now... Anyway, planning a DHS day for X-mas day. Right now the park will be open 9-9 with OsB Lights starting at 6:00 and Fantasmic showing at 6:30 and 8:00pm. Would like to see both since we are only doign the one day at HS. Which would you recommend? 1) Seeing the OsB Lights first and doing the 2nd Fantasmic show? OR 2) Plan to do the 6:30 Fanasmic show (which would mean getting in line around 4:30 !), and then see the OsB Lights afterwards? I am anticipating both to be hugely crowded, but is there any chance that one would be a little less so at the particular time of day? Sorry this is so long, any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I think it all depends on when you want to wait for Fantasmic.
Personally I would do the Osborne Lights first, and then head to Fantasmic.
I love to end my day at DHS with Fantasmic!

I voted Osborne Lights first and then Fantasmic!
I always hear the second showing of Fantasmic is less crowded, so that's why I voted that way!
Have a great trip!

I'm in the minority - I would do Fantasmic first and then the Osborne Lights.

The main reason - I Christmas lights and the synchronized music just draws me in! I would prefer to end my night with the lights.

Another vote for Osborne Lights first, then Fantasmic, since the first Fantasmic tends to be more crowded than the second show.
