Hey there, Timothy! Welcome to planDisney! Your trip is coming up in less than two months, and you've come to the right place to get your dining package questions answered—I’m always hungry and happy to help!
Booking a dining package or dessert party is a great way to experience the magic of Disneyland's nighttime spectaculars with a side of scrumptious! I'm sorry to hear you've hit a bit of a snag while trying to make your reservations. Let's sprinkle a little planDisney magic and see what we can uncover!
First, let's dive into
Fantasmic!. While dining packages are usually a great option for this waterside wonder, it seems our pal Mickey Mouse is only taking the stage on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings for the time being. That's likely why you're not seeing any dining package availability during your visit. I know this isn't what you wanted to hear, Timothy.
But, let’s chat about the
World of Color Dessert Party to see what your other options are! I have some mixed news here as well, but there are a couple of silver linings sprinkled in! First, the not-so-magical part: it looks like the dessert party is currently all booked up during your visit dates. However, this show usually paints the sky twice nightly, which means the dessert party fun is likely still happening, but all reservations are probably full. The first silver lining is that you can keep checking the reservations page as your visit gets closer. You never know when a little bit of Disney magic might happen, leading to a reservation opening—even on the day of!
The second silver lining is that a separate
World of Color Dining Package is offered at several dining locations throughout the resort. As of today, I'm still seeing some availability, but you'll want to snag your spot as soon as possible. This package lets you enjoy a delightful dinner buffet at Storytellers Cafe, or a lovely lunch or dinner at Wine Country Trattoria. Disneyland Magic Key holders can also enjoy lunch or dinner at the charming Magic Key Terrace! This package includes one voucher per Guest for access to the World of Color Preferred Viewing Area in Paradise Gardens Park. While it's a bit different from the seated experience of the dessert party, you'll still have an awesome view of all the dazzling action from a fantastic preferred standing location.
Now, Timothy, while dining packages are always an in-demand choice, I have a hunch as to why the World of Color Dessert Party might be extra popular during your visit. The
Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration kicks off on May 16th, just three days before your arrival! With this momentous occasion comes the debut of a brand new spectacular,
World of Color Happiness!. I'll bet Guests from all corners of the kingdom are eager to witness its premiere, and the dessert party is a truly magical way to experience it. But as I mentioned, there's still a chance you can book this package—keep your eyes on the reservations page, and you just might see an opening appear like magic!
So, Timothy, while those specific dining packages might be playing a bit of hide-and-seek right now, remember that a little Disney persistence and a sprinkle of luck can work wonders! Keep checking those reservations, and who knows? You might just find yourself enjoying a magical meal with a spectacular view! Have a truly enchanting trip!
