This tip is for any show in the parks.
Often, Disney presents a show or parade more than once during the day. If that's the case, seeing the later one means lighter crowds.
Assuming you read more than one blog about Disney World, you probably already know that given the chance, you should see the second Fantasmic! and Main Street Electrical Parade. But, I'll add three more to your list: Festival of the Lion King, Finding Nemo the Musical (both Animal Kingdom) and Celebrate the Magic (Magic Kingdom).
Festival of the Lion King and Finding Nemo are performed all day long, so crowds typically aren't an issue here. However, most guests don't stay until close at Animal Kingdom, seeing it as a "half day" park. That means crowds really thin out in the late afternoon. So, if you want to really up your chances at a phenomenal seat, see the last performance of the day, and you'll feel like you have the theater to yourself!
Celebrate the Magic is a light show projected onto Cinderella Castle before Wishes, aka, the most insanely crowded time of day. But it's shown again after the fireworks. You can see the projections from anywhere on Main Street, but the Hub offers the best views. If you didn't score a prime spot for Wishes, swim your little salmon self upstream to the Hub. Most people will either beeline for the exit or Mine Train immediately following the fireworks, leaving you free to enjoy the magic in peace.
The moral of the story is if you have a chance to see a later performance of a show or parade, do yourself a favor do it! You'll feel less jostled and harangued than you would have earlier in the day!
