Hiya Shirley,
Welcome back to planDisney! We are honored that you continue to visit us with help planning your Walt Disney World Resort vacations.
Fanstasmic! is one of my favorite nighttime spectaculars. The reimagined show is fantastic, and I know you will have an incredible time. When you combine that show and yummy dining experiences, it really is a win-win.
Shirley, just like with all advanced dining reservations (and
Enchanting Extras), you can begin making reservations for
Fantasmic! Dining Packages 60 days before your planned arrival. So your window opened up last week. I went ahead and checked the reservation site for the dining packages, and when I wrote this answer, there was no availability for Fantasmic! Dining Packages during your planned dates. In my experience, the Fantasmic! Dining Packages tend to be super popular, so it is not completely surprising that there isn’t any availability so soon after the 60-day reservation window opened up. Guests can start making reservations around 6 a.m. ET for reservations, so by the evening, they are usually gone. Additionally, Guests staying at a Walt Disney World Resort Collection Hotel can book their reservations for the entire length of their stay (up to 10 days), so availability can be even more limited if you are reserving right at the 60-day mark.
Don’t worry yet, Shirley! Just because there isn’t any availability right now, that doesn’t mean you won’t be able to grab a dining package for your trip. As other Guests change their plans, availability tends to open back up as they release their reservations. Check back a week or two before your December trip to see if anything new emerges. I’ve done this on many occasions and have had much success with it.
I hope this was helpful, Shirley, and everything works out for you! I’m sending all the pixie dust it does, and you will enjoy a Fantasmic! Dining Package during your visit. Before I let you go, with a Dining Package, I recommend getting to the Amphitheatre between 30-45 minutes before showtime. This way, you can get your desired seat and get comfortable before the show. Please come back and see us if you need anything else.
Happy Planning,
Ashley F
