Hey Mallory-
Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. These two restaurants are wonderfully themed and have great menus. My family and I are all about convenience and having a
Fantasmic! Dining Package gets you a delicious meal and prime seating for Sorcerer Mickey in a spectacular show. Basically, you will not need to have a member of your party get to the Hollywood Hills Amphitheater to hold seats for your group 45-60 minutes before the show. With the Fantasmic! Dinner Package passes you stroll in 20 minutes before the show starts and have a great seat. We really don't like waiting in lines.
Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano is one of our favorites and we make it a priority when we are there for longer trips.
As of now, Disney’s Hollywood Studios is scheduled to close on Halloween at 7:00 p.m. with
Fantasmic! scheduled at 7:30 p.m. Yes, this is after the park closes buy most people will be in line for the show at park close. Mickey and his entourage need to wait until dark for everyone to behold the fireworks’ magic. Theme park times are subject to change and may allow Disney’s Hollywood Studios to remain open longer.
Mallory, please let us know how else we may help you plan your pixie-dusted vacation.
Enjoy making many Magical Memories!
