Oh boy, Melissa! You've come to the right place to discuss
Fantasmic! at Disneyland! This is one of my very favorite topics to chat about. As someone who always prioritizes seeing Mickey Mouse battle evil on the Rivers of America when I'm at Disneyland Park, your question regarding the entertainment schedule is important to me, as well!
I can understand the desire to plan ahead and maximize the magic while you are visiting the Happiest Place on Earth, however, entertainment schedules are not released until about six weeks out. I encourage you to check the
Daily Events Schedule on the Disneyland website as your visit gets a bit closer, Melissa. The Daily Events Schedule is an incredibly helpful resource, not only for providing an entertainment schedule to confirm which nighttime spectaculars will be showing, but also includes attraction closure information, park hours, as well as the events occurring during your visit. Make sure you've selected your specific dates and park at the top. That said, it's important to know that the schedule can change at any time. I hope that's helpful!
If you're looking to secure a really fantastic viewing spot, consider purchasing a
Fantasmic! Dining Package, Melissa. I love knowing I have a spot waiting for me. All of the options are great (in my experience), but my personal favorite is
Rancho del Zocalo! The food is delicious, the portions are huge, and it's an incredible value, as your designated spot is in roughly the same area as it would be if you booked a dining package at Cafe Orleans or River Belle Terrace (standard). Reservation times for Rancho del Zocalo begin at 11am for lunch (first Fantasmic! showing) and 3:30pm for dinner (second Fantasmic! showing), subject to availability.
Advance dining reservations usually open 60 days prior to your visit.
After your dining experience, you will receive a voucher to return to your designated viewing area along the Rivers of America later that night. TIP: Because the Fantasmic! Dining Package viewing areas are seating only, I recommend bringing a small travel blanket, so you have a nice, cozy spot to enjoy the performance.
Melissa, I'm thrilled you'll be in the Happiest Place on Earth to cheer on our Sorcerer Mickey! Get ready for a journey beyond your wildest imagination! If any other planning questions happen to come up as you prepare for your upcoming visit, you know where to find us!
Dream a fantastic dream,
McCayla
