Hi Jamie! Thanks for visiting planDisney.
The long-awaited return of Fantasmic! in Frontierland at Disneyland Park has sparked a lot of excitement. One of the great ways to enjoy this Nighttime Spectacular from your table or a reserved viewing location is a
Fantasmic! Dining Package. Those reservations typically open up about 60 days out, so they're probably hard to come by for your upcoming trip. It's a really popular experience and availability is limited, unfortunately, and there's no option to add a package to an existing dining reservation. You might be lucky enough to see availability change, however. When people's plans change and they cancel a reservation, the availability will reflect that. I'd keep checking just in case. You never know!
If you end up canceling your existing reservation, be sure to check the cancelation policy for Blue Bayou Restaurant in New Orleans Square. This iconic restaurant's current policy states that you must cancel at least two hours before your reservation to avoid a per-person fee. Disneyland Resort dining locations all have their unique cancelation policies and they're subject to change.
But I'd keep your coveted
Blue Bayou Restaurant reservation if you can't get availability for the Fantasmic! Dining Package you're hoping for on this trip. It's got an immersive atmosphere and yummy menu choices. Enjoy it! We love dining there when we can. Previously, upgrades were sometimes available if there was any Dining Package availability that day. You can check with the Cast Member just in case there is last-minute availability, but there's no guarantee there will be. Regardless, say hello to any pirates that float by for me.
Have a magical day.
Elizabeth
