Hi there, Veronica!
Thank you for stopping by planDisney. I am glad you sent your question to us about one of my favorite dining experiences!
Dining reservations are usually available up to 60 days in advance and are often available starting around 6:00 a.m. (although sometimes it is earlier and other times, it is a bit later) on the Disneyland Resort website. Getting dining reservations for large groups can be tricky, especially for popular dining packages. I recommend designating two Guests as your "reservation bookers" and dividing your group into two smaller parties to try to get reservations around the same time (depending on which Dining Package you choose). Try stopping by the restaurant earlier in the day to see if you can be seated together.
River Belle Terrace has two
Fantasmic! Dining Packages. The Standard Package includes a 3-course Southern-style meal and vouchers to access a separate reserved viewing area for one of the Fantasmic! performances that evening. On the other hand, Guests who reserve the Premium Package can enjoy a 3-course dinner and the evening's first performance of
Fantasmic! from your table. Both are great options! I like the Premium Package when visiting Disneyland Resort with family members who prefer to watch Fantasmic! while sitting in a chair, while I like the Standard Package when I'm with family or friends who want an unobstructed view of the show.
Keep in mind that the
Hours & Events Calendar has not been updated for January yet, so we do not know when Fantasmic! will be performed. I suggest keeping an eye on the calendar as it gets closer to your visit.
Veronica, I hope this information was helpful. Please reach out to planDisney again if you have additional questions!
Magic Happens!
