Hi Janice!
Thanks for stopping by planDisney! By the looks of your question, it seems like dining is a top priority during your stay! Believe me, this is always the truth when it comes to my vacations at Walt Disney World. I had the pleasure of dining at
Topolino's Terrace – Flavors of the Riviera on my last trip, and I was blown away by the food, service, and ambiance. It was a special meal.
I'm excited you are trying
The Hollywood Brown Derby during this stay. There are countless options on this menu that I need to try, but I did get a chance to try the Famous Cobb Salad on my last visit. It was everything I hoped for! According to the website,
dining packages for Fantasmic! will not be returning until November 30th, although there will be one specifically for The Hollywood Brown Derby. I suggest checking back on October 26th for any details in case these dates happen to change. Fantasmic! however, will be returning on November 3rd to Disney's Hollywood Studios! You'll be able to catch the show regardless of obtaining a dining package or not. Just make sure to jump in line early enough to secure a seat!
Janice, yet another great selection with
Chef Mickey's on the itinerary. Although you have a later reservation on this night, you will still get the full experience during your meal. 9:30 PM is just the time they stop seating tables, but the restaurant does not automatically close at this time. Guests will still be able to enjoy their meals and the characters will still be entertaining Guests. You'll get the opportunity to interact with each of them at your table, so there is no need to worry about that. My family has always enjoyed eating here, whether it be for breakfast or dinner!
I hope you have a magical time during your visit, Janice!
See ya real soon!
Greg
