Hey, howdy hey, Carl. Thanks for bringing this great question to us at
planDisney!
Fantasmic! at
Disneyland Resort is a magical experience, and the restaurants that offer the Fantasmic! Dining Package are stellar. You’re in for a great experience.
To get straight to it, the answer is yes! You should be able to use your dining card to pay for the Fantasmic! Dining Package! You’ll make the reservation online (more on that in a minute) and then pay with your dining card at the end of your meal. Just for future reference, you can check out all the
details about your dining card on the Disneyland website, and even view a
list of locations that accept dining cards.
Grabbing a
Fantasmic! Dining Package reservation is the challenge. Dining reservations open 60 days before the date you’re visiting. They specifically open at 6:00 a.m. Pacific Time. Being from Great Britain, at least you won’t have to wake up especially early, but I’d be logged in and ready to go right as the clock strikes 6:00.
I can see three restaurants that offer the Fantasmic! Dining Package - Cafe Orleans, River Belle Terrace, and Rancho del Zocalo.
Cafe Orleans happens to be my favourite table service restaurant in the park, so I’d recommend that. A cup of the Gumbo and the Battered & Fried Monte Cristo Sandwich is the most decadent meal on the property, if you ask me. If you want to reserve an extra seat, I’ll meet you there! If you're not able to get a Cafe Orleans reservation, both
River Belle Terrace and
Rancho del Zocalo are excellent restaurants.
Carl, I’m so excited for your trip. This dinner and show is going to be a high point for you and your group. As someone who delights in planning, I say well done! If you have any other planning questions, keep bringing them to us at
planDisney. I hope you have a magical day!
