Welcome to planDisney, Emily! I'm glad you stopped by with your question today about my favorite nighttime spectacular at Walt Disney World -
Fantasmic!
Emily,
Fantasmic! Dining Packages offer guests a chance to enjoy a delicious meal at several dining locations in Hollywood Studios and then have reserved seating for the show; it's a great way to avoid longer lines to get into the amphitheater and not worry about seating. These packages are available on select nights, and the current schedule does not include October 12, 13, or 14. While the packages are not available, Fantasmic! is still currently scheduled on October 12 at 9:30 PM at this time. Of course, offerings and times are always subject to change, so if you have your heart set on a dining package, I'd recommend to keep checking the Walt Disney World website for availability in case the date you're looking for is released. Another option would be to choose another date within your vacation range, if that option works for your other plans.
Emily, even without a dining package, there are some great dining options at Hollywood Studios! My family really enjoys the fun of family mealtime at
50's Prime Time Cafe. If the packages don't become available, another great option for good seating at Fantasmic! is to grab dinner on Sunset Boulevard and enjoy it inside the amphitheater while you wait for the show to start! I love the buffalo chicken waffle bowl from Fairfax Fare (a pro tip shared with me by my panelist pal
Lizzie, who's known for her deep love of Fantasmic!)
Emily, I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, come see us again at

Some imagination, huh?
