Hi there, Brian, welcome back to planDisney!
Sounds like you’re getting ready for a visit to the
Disneyland Resort! I’m thrilled that
Fantasmic! has returned and look forward to experiencing it this summer. I am happy to share more information about Dine Events, they’re pretty popular and sometimes disappear faster than the Cheshire Cat!
For select entertainment experiences,
dining package reservations can only be made based on availability, even if there are no special events at the resort. Dining reservations, including those for entertainment, can be reserved within 60 days before the event date. Unfortunately, as I viewed the entertainment schedule for the dates you mentioned, I see they are also not available at this time. I highly recommend checking the dining availability on the website or in the app consistently to see if reservations open up or if other guests cancel weeks, days, and sometimes even hours before. You may have some luck by joining the mobile walkup list, but there is no guarantee that you’d be able to upgrade it to a dining package.
When you arrive in August, the theme parks and resort will begin their fall transformation. While
Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort doesn’t begin officially until August 23, you may still see some pops of pumpkins and orange leaves begin to sprout. Be sure to download the
Disneyland app to check events and dining availability. Brian, I am wishing on a star that you’ll be able to get a dining reservation to see Fantasmic! on your visit. If you have any other questions before arrival, feel free to reach back out to
planDisney!
Magic awaits!
