Hiya, Rachael!
Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your question!
Fantasmic! is an iconic show, and it’s wonderful that you’ve added it to your must-do list. I’ll be happy to clarify this for you.
I took a look at the availability for the
Fantasmic! Dining Package, and you’re correct. It is showing as unavailable on August 23, 2026. Currently, there is no additional information on why the package will not be available on that date. I recommend checking the reservation page as your trip approaches to see if anything changes!
The great news is that Fantasmic! is scheduled to be showing at 9:00 PM and 10:30 PM Pacific Time on the 23rd, according to the
Hours & Events Calendar. So, while you may not be able to book the dining package, you can still enjoy the show! Please keep in mind that availability is subject to change at any time.
Bonus Tip: To find the best viewing spot, I recommend arriving between 60-90 minutes before showtime. Also, consider catching the 2nd showing of the night, as the crowd may be significantly smaller!
Rachael, I hope this information is helpful and that you have the most magical time at Disneyland! You are always welcome to visit us again here at planDisney if you have any additional questions!
Sending you faith, trust, and pixie dust,
Karmeen
