Hi Karen!
Welcome to planDisney.
Fantasmic! is one of my favourite shows at Walt Disney World, and one of the best ways to end your day at
Disney's Hollywood Studios.
Making reservations for a
Fantasmic! Dining Package gives you the best of both worlds - you will enjoy the meal you wanted anyway (at any time available during the day), but will receive a voucher for VIP seating for a showing of Fantasmic! later the same day. You don't need to turn up at the theater so early, either, so you have more time to enjoy Disney's Hollywood Studios. Reservations can be made up to 60 days in advance, and you have the choice of dining at one of 5 restaurants there: Mama Melrose's Ristorante Italiano, Hollywood & Vine, The Hollywood Brown Derby, 50's Prime Time Cafe or Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant.
You will be given your Fantasmic! seating voucher when you arrive at your chosen restaurant, which entitles you to a seat in the reserved section, on a first come, first served basis. You will not need to arrive at the Hollywood Hills Amphitheater until 25 minutes before showtime, but you can turn up whenever you want to, up to 90 minutes in advance. The entrance for reserved seating is by the
Beauty & The Beast Live on Stage.
Please come back and visit us again if you have any further questions, and you can
send me a direct question if you wish. We are always happy to help you plan your magical vacation to Walt Disney World!
