Hi Robert and welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
It's always lovely to be able to answer a question from a fellow Brit.
My family have experienced the
Fantasmic! Dinner Package many times over the years and think that it's a great way to reserve a seat for
Fantasmic!.
Regardless of the time of your Advance Dining Reservation for the Fantasmic! Dinner Package at Mama Melrose's Ristorante Italiano, you will be given a voucher for Fantasmic! which will be held at
Disney's Hollywood Studios later that evening. (On days with multiple showtimes for Fantasmic!, reserved VIP seating is available for the first show only.)
Once you have enjoyed your meal and received your voucher, you should plan to arrive for Fantasmic! seating at the Hollywood Hills Amphitheater 20 to 30 minutes prior to showtime. The entrance for VIP seating is located on Sunset Boulevard next to Beauty and the Beast – Live on Stage.
Please do also be aware that your seats are not assigned. Rather, you choose your seats within the reserved section on a first-come, first-served basis.
Wishing you a magical holiday filled with memories which will last a lifetime!
Emma
