Hi Jenna,
Welcome, and thanks for bringing your thoughtful question to planDisney. I’m excited to hear that you have a vacation to the
Walt Disney World Resort approaching, and during the
Most Magical Time of the Year!
I see what you’re seeing on the Walt Disney World Resort website for
Fantasmic! Dining Packages on the dates where
Disney Jollywood Nights is planned – no availability, at least for a sample of dates that fall within the next 60 days. I spoke with a Cast Member who confirmed that the packages should still be offered, though availability may be limited since there will be one early showing of Fantasmic! on those evenings. The brand-new Disney Jollywood Nights event begins at 8:30 P.M. and
Fantasmic! is currently listed for one showtime of 7:15 P.M. for those dates. I encourage you to please keep checking for availability of a Fantasmic! Dining Package for those dates, as they may not be available to reserve yet if not already sold out. I know this is frustrating to hear, but since this special ticketed event is new this holiday season it could be that the packages simply haven’t become available yet as the final schedules are solidified.
If you are planning to visit
Disney’s Hollywood Studios during the holiday season, you’re going to love the festive décor and vintage holiday tunes playing throughout the theme park. This old Hollywood feel of glamour and tinsel will have your spirits soaring! This theme will continue into the night for this new event that with brand-new entertainment, character greetings, specialized seasonal food and beverages, and access to all your favorite attractions! Guests with an event ticket may enter Disney’s Hollywood Studios as early as 7:00 P.M. - in time to catch Fantasmic! but not early enough to enjoy a dining package prior to that show, subject to availability.
If you’re not planning to attend this special ticketed event, you have plenty of time to enjoy all of Disney’s Hollywood Studios that day. From the whimsy of Toy Story Land to the adventure of
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, there’s something for everyone in your family to enjoy together. One of my can’t-miss shows is the
Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular – it's a large, shaded theatre for a mid-day break, and the show is so fun and thrilling!
Please let us know what other questions you have as you finalize the details of this special trip, Jenna.
Wishing you a magical holiday visit,
Amy
