Hi Tristan!
Welcome to planDisney.
The actual times of the dining options for the
Fantasmic! Dining Package will vary, depending on your date of booking. The good news is that reservations could be available throughout the day - you don't have to eat immediately before the show. Breakfast reservations are available at Hollywood & Vine from 8.30am, lunch service starts as early as 10.45am, with dinner service beginning at around 4.00pm. Please note these times are subject to availability, and I recommend that you make your reservation as early as possible - up to 60 days in advance.
The Fantasmic! Dining Package gives you the best of both worlds - you will enjoy the meal you wanted anyway, 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: 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.
Please come back and visit us again if you have any further questions. You can also
send me a direct question if you wish. We will be happy to help you plan your magical vacation at Walt Disney World.
