Greetings and welcome to planDisney, Vanessa. We are so glad you found us to ask this question. It sounds like you are planning for a practically perfect and magical visit to the Disneyland Resort and I'm here to help.
The return of
Fantasmic! has been something that I've been looking forward to all year, and securing a
dining package is a great way to ensure a great viewing spot. I'm so sorry to hear that you haven't been able to secure a reservation for your visit date. I definitely recommend checking the website frequently leading up to your visit to see if anything opens up. I was in the same situation for my recent visit and was able to secure a Fantasmic! Dining Package reservation just a couple of days before my visit. I also checked the
Disneyland app on the day of my visit and noticed a few reservations open up as well.
If you see an opening before or on the day of your visit, you can absolutely add it to your day. While you won't be able to add it to your existing reservation, you can secure a new reservation and
cancel your initial reservation. Be sure to review the cancellation policy to avoid the charge per person cancellation fee. It looks like the policy at
River Belle Terrace is to cancel at least two hours before your reservation to avoid this charge.
Vanessa, I just happened to check and noticed that at the time of this writing, River Belle Terrace Fantasmic! Dinner and Brunch reservations are available on the day of your arrival for a party of four. This is subject to change, however, I recommend double-checking the website for your visit date.
It was so wonderful to see Mickey and his dreams come to life on the Rivers of America again. I loved seeing Peter Pan and the grand finale with so many characters featured on the Mark Twain Riverboat is always a highlight.
Vanessa, I hope this is helpful as you are getting ready for your visit. I'll be sending all the pixie dust your way in the hopes that a Fantasmic! Dining Package reservation opens up for your visit. Here's wishing you a magical time at the Happiest Place on Earth. Let the countdown to the magic begin!
